Facebook Aunt posted:What? When someone is using the tub/shower nobody else gets to use the room, shower curtain or not. I'm not going to be soaking in the tub while a family member is making GBS threads 2 feet away, even if the shower curtain is closed so we don't actually see each other. I live in a 3 bed/1 bath cracker box. A thousand times this. We've kinda/sorta worked out an informal morning schedule. It really sucks. EDIT: also, we're going to be completely redoing the bathroom because the dumb-rear end-DIYers that owned the house before us massively hosed up re-tiling the shower and water has been leaking behind the wall for a few years now. We found out when the corner of the floor started getting "soft." Among the millions of little things they hosed up on, they also bridged a three inch gap in the drainpipe of the bathroom sink with duct tape. I loving loathe dumb-rear end-DIYers.

Freakbox posted:Okay I'm completely lost here- what in the nine fucks is a virago? It's an extremely old-timey insult for a forceful or masculine woman. I figured "cranky nag" was getting us started going down a weird hole of posters in this thread being SHREWS and HARRIDANS and whatnot, and it was the first option that came to mind. Anyway, I'm completely down with bad-interior-design threads. I sadly don't have much to post, since I live in an apartment with fairly generic functional styling and have no plans to start painting blood-red Shining-style accent walls, but I've enjoyed Weird Bathroom Sharing Time here.

Seriously- I have NO CLUE what it's for. There...was a big cabinet record player in front of it when I was little? I'm 29 And have never encountered one of these. I could get a cleaner shot, but my wife and I are stumped by it. We hid it behind our TV stuff.

I happen to be visiting my folks, who grew up in homes of that vintage, and I showed them this pic. Neither of them was sure, but they theorized it could be an old-style phone jack. VVVVVVVVVVV Now that would be cool.

Okay, I was bored...so i wandered around the house to take some shots of some of the old stuff in it. As a highlight, though- this nightmare, which has its own fire alarm. I would love to rewire the first half of the house, but "inheriting a house" should indicate that wife and I are both lucky and as poor as hell. We're saving up for it, and this thing only seems to control two rooms. We just try not to plug in anything more complex than a lamp.   The resident evil people should come photograph poo poo in some parts of this house. Freakbox fucked around with this message at 03:29 on May 6, 2017 |
