And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a spirit”; and they cried out for fear.

But straightway Jesus spoke unto them, saying, “Be of good cheer. It is I; be not afraid.”

Whenever I'm feeling down about the duration, cost or state of any of my projects I can turn to this thread or Jaded Burnout's infinite remodeling zone for a pick me up. It's like a pep talk from the forums. Thanks for posting it all as the horrible journey it really is rather than some twee before & after shots.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“A vast and L-shaped house of stone
Stands in the village... Near it, on the sand,
Not sunk, a great foundation lies, whose floor,
And heating track, and aerate bricks out fanned,
Tell that its builder well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The thread that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is not just a number, ninety nine;
Look on my house, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The surprisingly level foundations stretch far away.”

not discounting skill and knowledge, but so much of being "good" at projects is 1. not getting hung up in the planning stage so much that you never start and 2. dealing calmly with and accepting your gently caress ups, then implementing an acceptable fix so it can actually get done

See but this is a special house. It has wires in the door. Which makes installing the door much harder and will have the benefit of, uh, making the door vulnerable to electronic intrusion attempts? Not sure what the benefit is.

It's standard on modern main battle tanks and it makes sense that when assembling a bunker like this it's a foremost concern, the ability to keep operating while surrounded by radiation, noxious gas &c.

Jokes on you, the elaborate HVAC system and air tightness will allow 99 to isolate and oxygen deprive any fire, soon by automatic computer control. His house is a bunker, and nothing will destroy it. We will soon see how the elaborate foundation in fact is a smokescreen, and part of a system to suddenly rocket the house to safety by shooting it into the Earth's core.

Mind you, he will also use the vacuum system to deprive his guests of oxygen who had the audacity to make fun of his home.

Soon the neighbors will know the terror of the l shaped knob

Why do these dorms in this modern energy efficiency focused building not have their own thermostats and independent/zoned heating?

Sounds like the people who built it were just idiots who couldn't even match the basic features of lovely old apartment buildings and this has nothing to do with air tight or passive building design.
