You have more faith in people than I do. Edit: definitely not to steady the ladder..

Nope. The ladder doesn't reach the peak of the roof from there looking at the screenshot and if you did it on the sides it would damage gutters

I miss the toilet/sink combo on days like that. Now I just take a nap in our wet room shower. We just have a "half-bath" single toilet downstairs so diva cups are also impossible. Unless I wash it out in the tank-top sink...

peanut posted:Unless I wash it out in the tank-top sink... This reminded me to dig up a photo of the thing I saw in a restaurant a while back.  The sink drains into the tank, and the faucet is controlled by the level valve thing in the tank. I think it was preset to "lukewarm" which was nice. The only downside was that if you need more wash time (unlikely, it flows for a while) you've gotta flush again.

I've done this exactly once in my life, and it wasn't because I was hungover. I wish it was, but no. I was just so sick while sitting on the can that the smell of it alone made me puke, and so I grabbed my bucket and let it happen. Then I laughed like a maniac while crying in misery from the absurdity of it all. But hey Finland won the ice hockey championship the day before so it was all worth it!

The rest of my apartment might be (definitely is) crappy construction, but drat that bathroom is highly optimized for puking and making GBS threads at the same time.

NancyPants posted:Does this go for women too? Yes. Can confirm. //edit for content I managed not to throw up between being a baby and being a 20 year old, so when I woke up at 4am in my parents' guest room feeling really...off...I didn't know what to do. All I knew is I couldn't quit making GBS threads long enough to do anything else with the toilet, so I had to grab the trash can and use it as a barf receptacle. My dad asked the next morning if I didn't know a person could throw up in the toilet, you know, for clean up reasons. I can't remember if I yelled at him or cried, but he only stopped apologizing for it a couple years ago. Apparently HE had never had the barf-shits before, the lucky bastard.

Dirt Road Junglist posted:Yes. Can confirm. Gastroenteritis is a real bitch. I had it on two separate occasions in the last month and that was me: peeing from my butt and puking into a garbage can. The second time I either caused some trauma or exacerbated an existing ulcer because I started puking blood and had to go to the ER to get fluids because I just couldn't keep anything in me. Never been so sick in my life and never remotely so sick as an adult. Protip: if you're in a dorm situation and they tell you something is going around, they're all getting it from the same food establishments. Make your own food.

Never been so sick in my life and never remotely so sick as an adult. In general, if everyone has a stomach thing and they all ate at/from the same place, avoid that place and them for a while. Somehow my roommate made it to 30 years old without knowing that the biggest culprit in food-born illness is a virus, and was confused when I took away her cooking duty for a few days after she got food poisoning.

It's probably the 'ol ptomaine theory of food poisoning cropping up. People used to think it was chemicals formed during decomposition that caused it rather than pathogens.

My friend lived in a waterfront house build like this and was almost this bad. When you stood in the living room it felt like you were going to roll forward and fall out the window the whole front of the house had sagged so much.

My parents rented a house that was sagging in one corner. I stayed over one weekend and didn't notice it too much. Until I stumbled out of bed in the middle of the night to take a leak, and just kept stumbling all the way into the corner of the room.

I just tore the rusty swamp cooler off the house. It was a unit meant for the rooftop but adapted, via ductwork from the bottom of the cooler, 90 degrees, then up another 90, then a final 90 into a window. It wasn't very efficient. Neither was the lean-to shelf it was sitting on, made of untreated 2x4's and 3/4" OSB subfloor material, complete with tongue and grooves. The OSB had swollen to about 1-1/4", and the 2x4 posts were barely attached the wood was so rotten. Some of the platform could be poked through with a geriatrics' finger. There were also two chains providing auxillary support that were, to my eyes, decorative in nature. I was a little concerned when I found one was actually under tension. It's nice having light through this window, I've never seen it in the 8 years that I've lived here.

Lots of different ways to do it.
