Jesus fuckin' Christ, let's talk about why Fleetwood ever thought it was a good idea to put carpet in my bathroom. A single misguided dumbass carpeting a bathroom I can understand, but a manufacturer?

Oddly, the other bathroom, with proper linoleum tile, is the one that has a hole rotted though the subfloor (previous owner apparently toweled off in the tub, her teenage son using the other bathroom dripped on the floor).

I really should do something about that hole in the floor before the toilet calls in, as it did in the last rental (which was built like a fuckin' tank and still a shithole -- the furnace closest/attic access tunnel was fully planked with 1x4 like a ship's hull).

Edit: in other news, I want to fish cable through my underfloor HVAC ducting (my desk and the modem are right beside vents, and I've got a box of plenum-rated CAT5e). The cable's too floppy to just push through, and the size of the registers means fish tape is a no-go. I'm thinking tiny R/C car with a wifi FPV camera on top. Does such a thing exist, preferably around $20?

Uhhhhh I think it's tough to get that kind of water damage from someone dripping onto the floor. You sure the toilet or tub didn't leak?

Current house: Not closing the shower curtain all the way, I'd assume, it's at the inlet end of the tub.

Previous house: the bolts holding the tank onto the toilet rusted away and leaked to the point where for the last few months we lived there we had to leave the shutoff valve off, and turn it on just until it flushed. The landlord was pretty hands-off (see my other posts in this thread), and gently caress paying to fix anything that wasn't likely to immediately kill us or our pets (also Texas, so suing them would be difficult). Of course they fixed everything after we moved out, but ignored me when I called to say the garage was falling in on itself, or the toilet was falling over like a dying battleship, and only eventually got around to sending a guy out for A/C and water-pipe breaks.

I love owning my own place. Sure, I have to do all the work, but otoh, I don't have to rely on somebody else to fix poo poo.

Seconding fish sticks. They can be used to push cable too, not just pull. Still, you're going to have a hell of a time turning corners inside your ductwork.

Honestly, I would search around on YouTube for cable fishing videos. Maybe one will give you an idea.

Besides the obvious, there is an incredible amount of stuff wrong with this picture. I didn't think it was even possible to make so many mistakes with 3 breakers. I like the second neutral conductor that seems to only be there because someone had the idea that you needed a green one for some reason.

Also the AFCI breaker isn't doing anything, the extra slots are for the neutral conductors and only the attached conductor connects to the neutral bar. This is how it's able to detect an arc fault. If you connect the neutral conductors straight to the bar you bypass that protection :downs:

You use some light string with a light puff, like a large cotton ball, tied to the end.

Block off every vent but the start and destination one.

Use a leaf blower to blow the string between the two vents.

It helps to put a box fan in the window of the destination vent to pull air out, to create a tiny bit of negative pressure.

You think I'm joking, but I'm serious. One year of weatherization for the state of Idaho taught me more tricks than a lifetime of stickbuilt new construction would.

I am not an egghead. I am well-read.
When I worked on a construction site, that's how electricians ran cable through conduit ducts too. They also made the apprentices stand at the other end to catch the ball and line, not telling them that there'd be a lot of rainwater in some of those empty conduits coming their way. Hopefully there isn't in your house ductwork.

drat I wanted to be the clever one to say that! Fish line with a grocery bag on the end and tape up a vacuum to the duct. Then pull cable with the fish line the other way. My hovel only has 4" ducts to each room so it's nbd.

I look at that and realize that the only reason there's a balcony on the second floor is to air out the futons. There is probably nothing to look at except rice fields and similarly weird small houses.

Rice fields are pretty sometimes, especially when the rice is tall and the wind catches it in the sunset, but other than that it's just crows and the realization that your life is attached to this small polygonal house that you are bound to through a 40-year mortgage.

I really am happy I don't live in that house. I'm willing to bet the 1st floor room with the barred windows is a horribly cramped "kitchen" with a gas range that looks like a camping stove with a broiler, surrounded by rotten smelly tinfoil that is covered in last month's tempura leavings and other nasty poo poo.

The bars are definitely for a kitchen back door or the window of the bathroom/laundry area. Windows you might want to leave open at night or while you're not home.

The front of that house is less tedious, but shuttered up while the owner is away.

This house is also shuttered, but lived in...
