Speaking of Apartment buildings... I wonder if that tower fire in london is another case of cheap chinese non fireproof cladding strikes again like it did in Melbourne a few years back...

I'm watching the news now and it went up like a candle; it's still burning. No sprinklers either, apparently. God alone knows how many dead. It's horrifying.

Oh, suddenly someone's removed all references to the renovations where the new cladding was added.

Also apparently a former housing minister decided that there shouldn't be a law requiring that blocks be built with sprinklers or have them retrofitted because "the cost will deter people from building new houses".

Lazy level designers. Is it that hard to make sure your object placement makes sense and doesn't noticeably clip through the world?

If you pull the cord hard enough, the fence shifts and reveals stairs to a bonus level.

Found in the ceiling of a school... no idea if it's live, I suspect it is, but I wasn't gonna touch that poo poo. I'm a contractor and my reason for being up in the ceiling has nothing to do with AC power.

I'm a contractor and my reason for being up in the ceiling has nothing to do with AC power. That's just temp construction lighting that didn't get removed before the drywallers came. The electrical contractor just decided to cut that lamp off and go home. Happens all the time, it is very likely not live anymore.

Who was there first, do you think? I'm betting on the planter, and the utility put a new pole in and didn't want to put in an XARM so drilled a hole through the brick.

Nah, it'd be tidier work than it is if the brick was already there. Just a hole a bit bigger than the cable, instead of that rectangular missing chunk.

TFW you burn down a building and kill 100+ people because you didn't want to spend $3/panel more for non-flammable cladding. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/grenfell-tower-fire-latest-london-cladding-banned-us-flammable-a7792711.html

Metal Geir Skogul posted:17 died. Death toll is now 30, and rumours are that it's likely to be 150 - 200. 120 flats in the block, one stair case, no sprinklers, no centralised alarm, and internal fire blocking and fire doors seem to have failed so the compartmentalisation that is supposed to protect the building failed utterly.

I can get the flammable cladding thing. It's legal there, even though it's stupid. But how the hell is only one stairwell and no sprinkler system for a residential high-rise legal?

None taken, I'm not a londoner but having been stuck at home watching the news come in it is a bit raw, sorry if i was a bit brusk. This isn't supposed to happen in a first world country and it goes against everything we expect from a building like that.

I always wondered why my garage to kitchen entry door looked like it wobbles when gently slammed. Figured it had something to do with the disturbing settling/shifting that had pulled the exterior walls apart at the top, by about 3/4". No, actually, turns out a great way to install a pre-hung entry door is just nail the brick molding to the wall on the outside, say gently caress it, and put casing on the inside. On the plus side, I didn't have to worry about long screws at the hinges hitting the same original holes in the studs!
