I think they're cut at 45°, but they hosed up the length. The "line" from the house is more like a lightning bolt. If you look at the pointy ends of the boards on the left, lots of them don't line up with the boards beside them.

Last time I laid out a deck like that, we used this plastic spacing block thing that you sat between the screwed-down plank and the one being positioned. One side was a 1/4" gap, the other was 3/8". That photo looks like somebody didn't realize the two sides of the thing were different and just never managed to flip it over until they went to lay down the other side of the house.

2. While trying to look smart on the Internet, I demonstrated that I can't do basic arithmetic without making an error. It was pointed out to me, and I decided to play along, because it's not like I'm going to insist that 47 + 42 = 90. 1. In olden times before the invention of Teflon, when you made scrambled eggs, about one egg's worth of egg would stick to the pan, so when counting how many eggs to cook, you always just added one egg "for the pan." I'm old so I still remember this as something my grandma or someone told me, even though by the time I was born, people had non-stick pans. What I was told actually was that "one for the pan" was really just a way of padding how much scrambled eggs you were making, because if you're making eggs for a bunch of people, and each of them say they want like one or two or three eggs worth, that winds up not being as much eggs as each of them take when you portion out the eggs, so you throw in an extra one "for the pan" but actually it's for the egg eaters. E.g. it's a lie. A lie based on an older truth. A bonus egg masquerading as an obsolete method for compensating for obsolete technology. Everyone thinks they're eating 2 eggs but they're actually eating 2.2 eggs or something, and they appreciate that extra fractional egg subconsciously by having just a wee bit more delicious egg. This was in an era when the government announced eggs were bad for you because of cholesterol so people wanted more eggs but also declared they wanted less eggs. The lie helped them have both. "One for the pan." So, one degree for the pan. Cut 47 and 42 and get 90. Everyone gets a little extra degree, unmentioned. Or maybe the one degree is stuck in the saw. Something like that.

They do this with tea, as well. You brew a cup with a teaspoon of leaves, but if you brew a pot you add a teaspoon for every cup, plus "one for the pot". I'm guessing it's a bit older tradition than governments deciding to regulate food and health though.

I didn't know that one for the pan thing; that makes a lot of sense -- if people didn't grease their pans.

Does anyone remember that one house in the original Sims? Like the Meshugas or something? It was the gaudy, garish octagonal house that came with Livin' Large in Neighborhood 2. Bright colors, ugly-as-gently caress carpets and decorations? THEY wouldn't live in that house, holy poo poo. And yes, I believe it is.

So what, you have to put another 100k into it tops to make it nice and all up to code. If that house was for sale near me I'd be snatching it up and gushing about their cool pop art to the sellers and how I totally appreciate what they've done with the place.

There's nothing about bright walls and Marylin decals that suggests poor upkeep of the actual structure anymore than beige walls and hotel art do. At least you know there's no way anyone dug rooms full of literal trash out and redecorated like that in a month. If the price was good, I'd at least actually go look and see how bad the renos are and if there's any serious problems. That's not something you can say about most DIY coke-dens.

This article about zoning regulations in Japan is very interesting. They set their zoning regulations at the national level with little power for cities to vary substantially, and it seems to be based on a "nuisance" or activity level, so any uses less impacting than a given level are permitted. This means that residential and light commercial use is allowed in nearly every zone. There also isn't any zoning distinction between single-family and multi-family residential. Overall it encourages efficient mixed-use communities. Edit: Actually, check out the most recent couple pages of the OSHA.jpg thread where I found that link for a related discussion of houses in China and Japan that would be well at home in this thread.

canyoneer posted:Plus you just pull down a house and rebuild it every few years. A good use case for mcmansions When the land is worth about 10x what the house is, it makes sense to treat the house as a more disposable asset, especially with how small they are. Average in Tokyo is like 105 m^2, which is ~1k square feet. Also, average not-a-condo house age is like 20-25 years, which is pretty decent for a house.

Our new house in rural Japan is 1300 sq ft and it's bigger than average, with the equivalent of 4-5 bedrooms (no basements). I think houses in the US waste a lot of footage on extra bathrooms and massive kitchens. The per rate I see in most residential land listings is 60%. peanut fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Mar 21, 2017 |

The family with the cramped little galley kitchen and lovely appliances are cooking every day. The massive sprawling granite and stainless steel palace is mostly just for show.

Also the open concept houses with kitchen + diner + living room all in one room don't seem viable if you do cook all the time, at least not if there are more than 2 of you. If I want to listen to the radio while I cook, everyone else has to listen too. Even if they're watching TV.

Yeah I have one and I have mixed feelings about it. It's nice that you don't have to be isolated while cooking, but I have a crappy builder-grade dishwasher that is loud as crap so I hear it in like half the square footage of the home when it's running.
