Well, at least his videos show he's filmed a 1 year update on the tank and it looks fine... oh. and a bunch of videos about guns and 'those SJWs' welp.

actually plywood tanks are a thing. its usually done when you cant afford proper glass for a legit huge tank. Most legit massive glass or acrylic tanks are also held together primarily with structural bracing and silicone  https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/building-a-1700-gallon-shark-tank-by-black-tip.45035/

30 Goddamned Dicks posted:In the suburbs of D.C., yeah. There's a ton of planned communities in the western D.C. Suburbs that sprung up in the 50s/60s/70s with cookie cutter single family homes (around 1200-1600sft) on .25 acre lots. Flash forward to today, rich people buy up grandmas house (or better yet, grandmas house and the lot next door) when she kicks the bucket, bulldoze the house, and build a 2 or 3 story monstrosity that sticks out like a sore thumb and has 4' of clearance on three sides between the outside walls and the property line. Or grandma was lucky enough to have a house on a 1 acre lot, in which case a developer buys it and builds 4 mini McMansions on .25 acre lots after mowing all the trees down. Or grandma had a farm which is now being turned into "Beechwood Hills: New Single Family Homes Starting From $1.2 Million!" This poo poo's happening everywhere. In Des Moines, the middle of loving flyover country, developers are buying up all the farmland close to town to do this with while the east and south sides of the city proper are full of 1910's-1920's houses that are falling apart because people will spend 225k on a lowest-bidder McMansion rather than 175k a nice house in a developed neighborhood that might need a couple grand in updates.

Thankfully, the thing to do here is buy all the old victorians, craftsman, spanish, and mid-century modern houses here, often in kind of disrepair and restore them to their former glory. Or at least attempt to, they seem to get rebuilt so fast there has to be some terrible stuff going on. Speaking of what I think is crappy, my uncle is rebuilding his 20s duplex (he lives in the top), which is a pretty cool spanish style structure. He's doing a lot of good things, replacing all the knob and tube stuff, redoing the plumbing and wood work (he is one of the best wood turners in the country and did the turnings for the state capitol when they restored it), but he is replacing all the lathe and plaster walls with drywall. I know that makes all the rewiring easier, but drat do I hate drywall in an older house.

As promised, here is the absolute dog-poo poo remodel job the previous owner did in my bathroom. When we were negotiating price, he actually tried to use the remodeled bathroom as a positive and as a reason for his higher-than-average asking price. We were able to knock the price down after we pointed out he did a terrible job and we'd basically have to spend a bunch of money to redo it ourselves. We probably would have remodeled it last summer, but massive winds completely destroyed our fence, which we knew was failing, but the home inspector and us thought we could get a couple more years out of. Guess we were wrong. Sorry in advance that my bathroom is dirty, after I looked at the photos I went and cleaned it. Imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/AguyZ

Acrylic is a cheaper stronger option but it doesnt look as good it scratches easily and kind of sucks. The best poo poo is whats called Starphire glass, but it aint cheap. the bigger your tank the thicker the walls have to be and with thousands of gallons glass starts at around 1/2" thick for over 700 gallons

You can generally slam your open hand against a sheet of glass like that and be OK. It's a sharp point impact that shatters it.

I like glass, but I’m going to guess that acrylic is cheaper on something that size. When you get to the size of aquarium people pay admission to, it’s back to glass.

Platystemon posted:I like glass, but I’m going to guess that acrylic is cheaper on something that size. No it isn't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(methyl_methacrylate)#Uses posted:PMMA acrylic glass is commonly used for constructing residential and commercial aquariums. Designers started building big aquariums when poly(methyl methacrylate) could be used. It is less-used in other building types due to incidents such as the Summerland disaster. See also: Sea World, Monterey Bay, and more.

toplitzin posted:summerland disaster Wikipedia posted:Summerland [Leisure Center] was opened on 25 May 1971. It was a climate-controlled building covering 3.5 acres on Douglas's [Isle of Man] waterfront, consisting of 50,000 sq ft of floor area at a cost of £2 million. The building's hull and the interior were designed by two different architects—they did not match their planning to each other and thereby created a venue with significant fire risks that were only to become apparent later.

In which case the boy would have completed the circuit when he ripped out the ground. The only way this could have started is by power jumping the gap to something that's not supposed to take current, while the neutral was poorly/un-connected, and the ground was only conducting enough to spark, but not to shock someone. In which case the fault should lie on whichever meathead was working on the wiring last. Unless they can prove the kid knew that what he was doing would cause something inside to start a fire, how is this arson, instead of just a kid being ignorant of the construction trade?

Yeah there's definitely some bad wiring here. That kid must have a guardian angel working overtime, because he could have very easily died. I'd love to see how to DA argues that a kid playing jump rope equals arson.
