Now I think about it, having analogue meters on my PV inverter would be really neat in a useless kind of way.

Is the meter to tell when the local grid is hosed and you shouldn't turn anything on?

Since it’s a voltmeter, that’s my guess.

What have you guys been putting down to keep the hair and dust out of the room? Just put heavy sheets in the doorways and keep the animals out?

My house had no carpets, and we did the work while it was completely empty (hadn't moved anything in). We opened every screened window, vacuumed thoroughly, and we were doing our work during a rainy week (so the pollen and dust outside was generally kept down.

Other than that, we had no special protection. You don't want hairs obviously, but a few specs of dust in a varethane layer are basically invisible. The most important coat is the last: you don't want anything settling onto the surface as it dries.

e. Oh yeah we also changed the filter on the HVAC, and ran it fan-only the whole time, to help with drying. Our vent work was very clean so we didn't find we were stirring up dust that way, but it really depends on the state of your home, I imagine.

Probably mounting points for the toilet paper dispensers. Which makes it worse, that means the clear panels were explicitly chosen, not an accident.

So if the power dips enough to gently caress with the control circuitry everyone is suddenly making GBS threads in transparent glass boxes?

"Smart glass" is normally opaque and only goes clear when the voltage is applied.

got those happy feet


I have to quote this reply:

quote:

I got dysentary in Afghanistan. Their toilets are actually just porcelain holes in the ground you squat over to do business which we got tired of pretty quickly so we built a chair which was just two rectangles with a space between them for pooping. Down side was there was something like a three foot drop to the floor.

One day the shits hit me hard. I use the chair but soon after letting out this torrent of poo poo I realize most of it is hitting the wall and floor behind the hole. There wasn't anything I could do but keep going. There was so much poo poo...

An hour later I have to poo poo again. I head to the other chair we have built being careful to properly aim at the hole when I start to hear two people a row down talking about cleaning up my poo poo (side note: they were artillary, we were infantry and they had left us their fair share of messes plenty of times around the COP that I can say I did that first one guilt free). The only line I remember them saying was, "I can understand missing the hole, but why the gently caress would you just keep going like that?"

I start making GBS threads my brains out again, immediately shotgunning the entire back wall with muck. Again, I couldn't stop it. The damage was done, I was so drat lucky they didn't check my stall before leaving, that they didn't see me leaving.

What I do feel guilty about is that the guys who cleaned up my poo poo were getting hosed up for not cleaning up my poo poo after being told to. Their squad leader walked in and found my second stall, thought his privates just blew him off and were making up excuses. I remember him yelling, "Well why in the gently caress would someone do that twice!?"

That second one I'll feel guilty about for a long time to come.

No, you almost always install the film after the glass, at least in commercial construction. Like, I can't think of a time you'd install the film first.

I'm a glazier and we almost always put the film on first where I work. Getting the cutouts around the hinges/brackets to look good would generally be a lot easier if they're not attached to the glass at the time- same with the edges where the glass butts up to something.

I thought that the frosting was sandblasted onto to surface (or something similar).

Wouldn't the film just get peeled off BH vandals or peeping toms?

Both etching and filming are options; and yes, film can generally be peeled off fairly easily. Etched glass is harder to keep clean, though.

People are commenting about how it probably isn't frosted yet, and this reply really tickled me

quote:

doesn't matter if it is frosted you will still be able to tell some one is on the toilet just by their silhouette, in short I would always hold it in until I got home

and from the OP

quote:

I'm sorry I used the wrong words before. The building is finished yes and that's the contractor's work done. They (the manager) promised to fix it but not replace it, hence I said they're gonna stay that way. The fixing includes sprays or something, no body knows yet. So far women enter one by one and lock the outside door.

I'd say at least 50% of architects are absolutely poo poo that put their "vision" and how things look from above or in a render even if it totally fucks over the people building, using, or maintaining the building.

The mold is nothing compared to the "no steel in the world [made at that time] could possibly do what you're asking, sir" structural issues over the years.
