I forgot how I found this thread but now I'm caught up and enraptured, need more L-shaped posts to fill the void.

This is starting to look a lot like a house, which is weird.

That looks really tedious to do but the result is nice. Keeps looking more and more like a house.

Is your head particularly sturdy? I would like a control group too.

I'm generally pretty dulled to anything I read online but the guy just ramming the wheelbarrow over the floor heating pipes raised my dander a bit. (why is it this, of all things?) I guess because I see people being lazy and lovely regularly and it bugs me there too. But it's like god drat, come on, there was obviously a lot of work put into making those even to spread heat properly and ensure that nothing would leak etc.

Ahhh, that makes sense. Well, at least they are easy to replace at this point in the build.

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.

Wait did I skip a page? When did you move the house somewhere with blue skies and plants that like warm weather? I thought this was all going on in the UK.

The Fall of the House of L: During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, in a Tesla, through a singularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of L. I know not how it was - but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit...

The plaster is necessary for the structural rigidity of the house, we've all seen what the blocks are like. Wallpaper might do it, but you'd need a few layers.

Vim Fuego posted:NBC Protection- Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Yes but it's also standard to run a positive pressure environment in these vehicles & bunkers to make sure that not only does no unfiltered air get in, but plenty gets pushed out. I don't think that's a feature on the L. Unrelated question, but is radon gas a problem in the UK?

The trouble is that public education in the US is maliciously underfunded, and the old rich vulture said that he'd give 200 million dollars to build the building but only if they follow his exact blueprints. It's some kind of hosed up mixture between philanthropy and hostage negotiation.

knox_harrington posted:So how much do you pay for this ~prison level accommodation? Varies a lot by college/university, but between 1-3k USD per semester, in my experience. Most colleges push the "Campus life experience" pretty hard, and sometimes there aren't any good alternatives.

Leperflesh posted:Where in the US of A can you get three months of on-campus living, even in a shared room, for less than $1k a month? Is your experience mostly rural schools? My uni (SF state) cost more than $1k a month when I was there... in 1998. Most students had to live off campus anyway, there wasn't anywhere near enough dorms for the population of students (and the dorms cost more than you could rent a room in the city - a lot more). Mine was rural as gently caress, and over a decade ago. I probably made bad assumptions that such a thing would continue, lmao.

tbqh I would route the ethernet through my walls the same way, if you're using a desktop computer it's so worth it. I have a 150ft cable snaking along the baseboards of my house being ugly because it's worth it to me, but if I could have it in the walls I would. My real concern would be that eventually the standard would move on and I'd be stuck with a house that has a bunch of worthless outlets. The house I am in now has like ten unused phone jacks all over the damned place.

Sagacity posted:why not use them and rewire them for ethernet since apparently you love ethernet so much you want to MARRY it Few reasons. The biggest ones are time, effort, and expense; but also I live in a house that is more than a hundred years old and was constructed piecemeal by Polish amateurs and the interior of the house has not one but two ventilation systems, one of which is unused, as well as wiring that dates to the 20s - full copper jacketed in decaying paper, hooked to switches that still have mercury in them. All of this is spliced together with several other layers of upgrades and coverings, most of which is from the 40s-70s, none of which is consistent or documented, and I don't own the house. Given that, it feels like a fool's errand to undertake.

I mean, the good news is that when/if the walls spontaneously becomes fine dust 60 years from now, the foundation is built to outlast Ozymandias so you can just build a new structure right on top of it, bam, good to go.

That's a good idea. Along with the cheeky loft space which isn't really counted as usable internal house volume for government reasons, you can add an extra thirteen basement levels which they also don't need to know about. You've already got most of the work done, just fill out the spaces between the pilings! As an added bonus it's guaranteed to be airtight and won't add much to the heating bill.
