Aside from the absence of contractors, I feel like the backdoor story is just a miniature version of the whole thread.

Edit: Also, I hope you never change your avatar. All of this is so much more hilarious when I imagine a furious baby writing it.

In the meantime I've largely been having a bad ankle and lying in bed like a gouty old monarch, but occasionally I've been to site to try and keep up the pretence of progress.

I downloaded this batch of photos a while ago intending to make a post but I'm now struggling to understand the narrative I was attempting to construct.

Coupled with the inability to actually source a store tank since the one i wanted went out of business. I had a glimmer of hope on ebay, finding a much bigger and higher spec carbon fibre pressure vessel than I actually needed. It wasnt intended for this use and would have required some modification but the seller has gone weirdly silent in the last 36 hours or so?

Well, I can't. Our clawfoot tub is a little over knee height and flares outward, and to get out of it without the grab bar, I'd have to bend way over, grab the rolled edge, straddle it, then swing the other foot over and stand up. Built-in tubs aren't usually that tall.

Sounds like a good way to stay limber.

so i can turn it on remotely, perfect any temperature you want shower from anywhere in the world! I feel like I've explained this multiple times.

So what part of the system let's you take advantage of having turned on a shower on the other side of the house? Is there some sort of complicated series of tubes that lets you dump water on your guests yourself anywhere in the house? Does it double as a fire suppression system?

That said, one of the big selling points from the head architect is that these are all single-occupancy, but do the USAers here know that double occupancy dorm rooms is one of those things we pretty much only see in american media, like football jocks and fraternities? I assume it's why you use the term "roommate" in later life while we say "flatmate" or "housemate" or whatever. Like some dorms have twin rooms but it's an exception not the norm, and you choose to take them.

Or is it not actually as universal in the US as it appears to be from the outside?

It's very common, but like everything in the US there are plenty of exceptions. I went to (and now work at a different) small liberal arts college and at both the majority of rooms are singles.

All night all i could think of was me and the house entwined together unfinished in my bed, our insides twisted about and unterminated.

Given the rest of the house, I assume these are the circuit breakers you're using

Pile Of Garbage posted:

Apologies if this was already posted here but I feel it's very relevant: a WiFi-enabled circuit breaker.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd16_Y9xfpw

Its remotely controllable via an app which lets you do plenty of dangerous poo poo like remotely cycling the breaker or disabling ground fault and overload protection (Bonus: there's no way to tell if protection is disabled by looking at the breaker)!
