Slugworth posted:What?? Refs, we need a ruling on this. I'm saying it's definitely carpet. To be honest, I really can't tell whether it is a carpet or those cheap stone floorings that are white (that turn beige soon enough) with black speckles that you find in cheap public buildings or hospitals, and I don't think that's called marble.

Ashcans posted:I don't think the risk is that its going to shock the fountain or its user, it's that the water is hitting the wall and flowing down the outlet. Isn't there a good chance that getting the wall that wet will close the circuit in the outlet and short the whole thing? It's probably almost impossible to shock the fountain user because of the droplets, yeah. And just getting the wall soaked isn't likely to cause a short. Even the water flowing over the face of the outlet isn't that likely to short in my experience, but that is a risk. Somebody spraying the water for a longer than normal time to take pictures or if there were a gym class all using the fountain is a lot of dice rolls, but the water is going to tend to flow down to the carpet fast enough that you won't really have much water at the socket to close the circuit at any given moment. The real crappy thing something so damned easy to fix has been happening long enough to leave those stains on the carpet and bleach the wood.

I think it's thick carpet that is now full of mold, not limescale. It would take years to build up that amount of limescale.

Imgur has some good ones occasionally. http://imgur.com/a/adLKN I was looking at this deck picture for the footings under the tower and didn't see anything:  Then there was this one where they basically screwed the framing for the tower to the garage on one side and the house on the other but only to the eaves of the house. And then plopped it right on the deck.  Any guesses as to the life span of this tower? I'm guessing the first spring wind storm will rip it from the house.

this is what inspired that monstrous tower? zero architectural taste e: lol this was a downvoted "bad" comment quote:Incredible waste of money.

Here's the Reddit thread, he's rightly getting poo poo on. https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/67653u/added_a_tower_to_our_house_because_you_know_every/?st=J1W97ZC8&sh=e8b583c1 Someone asked about dynamic wind loads on a tower that is basically a giant sale attached to facia boards and his response was "it was windy last week and didn't fall down" Also someone made the point that the lumber sitting on top of the decking means it will act as a giant wick and rot it out from the inside.

"Reddit is like one big giant collection of "What the gently caress did the previous owner do to this house" You realize you just built a 30 foot tall tower *on top of a loving deck with no foundation*? Are you functionally retarded or are you just trying to murder your family and get away with it? One strong wind from behind the house and that whole thing is going to fall over and pull the soffits off both your roofs, you moron. See the one you photographed? See how it is built by the builders of the home and structural integrated to the foundation of the house? See how all you did was built a room on stilts and mount it on a deck right the middle of the breezeway between your garage and your house? yeah. that's because you're too dumb to function. This is worse than the last 4 "basement kindling-filled deathtrap speakeasy" conversions that front page'd Remember the episode of King of the Hill where Dale built a 29 foot tall tower in his backyard because it skirted under the zoning? Yeah, you built your daughter a club house at the top of the punch line of an animated sitcom. **loving.** **Moron.**"

And why you'd frame grass on the inside of your garage rather than tearing it up and pouring a concrete pad first is baffling. I'm wondering if he has some weird patch of dirt or something along that wall of his garage now. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that building inspectors and permits were 0% involved in any of these projects. Spookydonut posted:IDK snow maybe? I've no idea. I live in the midwest and all of the homes around here have gutters. He mentions Menards in one of his posts, so he's a midwestener too.

That entire project is reminding me of McMansion Hell -- you have the original, normally-proportioned house, then you have the gigantic car-housing tumor (complete with oversized dormers!), and then you have the obligatory turret/tower/Look We Made A Tall Thing.
