I’m not sure how it is in states that don’t have shitloads of free water but here in Michigan your source pipe is almost always 3/4” or 1” copper with 3/4” supplying your hot water heater and washing machine and the rest of the house having ½” copper of pvc supply

I’ve never seen 3/8” pipe before

you're not going to be bending anything bigger than 3/8" copper tubing for anything modern if you want it to code. that setup looks like 3/4". also every solar setup I've ever seen has used plain old "M" thickness rigid tubing just like any other code-compliant install. solar doesn't require anything thicker that I'm aware of. you can't use the thinner "L" stuff on *anything* other than relief valve lines no matter if it's solar or standard.

that being said HOOOOLY gently caress that's a lot of wasted money in pro-press fittings which also makes me think this had to be put in without a hot work (ie soldering) permit. also i'll bet they're gonna get some water hammering with all that hosed up unsupported routing. i'd love to see the inspector's face

This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about either because type M copper is thinner than type L. Type L is standard thickness for pressure pipe. Type M is used sometimes for sanitary piping.

He is right though that it is a total waste of fittings. I have no clue how someone decided this was the right way to go.

This tiny bathroom in a studio in Park Slope, Brooklyn was recently renovated and the existing sink fixture was replaced with a closet, so they had to squeeze in this adorable yet utterly useless babby sink.

Are you supposed to stand with one foot in the shower when you're washing up? Is that why there's no shower curtain rod?

That would seem like the ideal scenario to use one of those sinks that's built into the toilet tank.

Those seem lovely to use (ha ha) in that you'd presumably have to lean over the toilet seat, or kneel on it? Or straddle the toilet? All very uncomfortable.

Is crime a huge problem in that desert? Those are some serious cages around the windows that I'd expect from an old timey wild west jailhouse or a warehouse in a high crime area. Looks super institutional or depressing on a house. There certainly property crime issues in my city but you almost never see bars on windows, specially on houses. Also quite often it's a huge fire code violation.

Which side of the door are the locks on? That looks like an old west prison.

It's in midtown, I'd say about half the homes in the area have bars, including my own. Most don't meet modern fire code (keyed, no-quick release) and I had to remove them from my bedroom windows to get a mortgage. The bars are up so that you can leave the windows open all day while you're gone, as the area was primarily evap cooled when built, and it's still a popular cooling method.

You can get nicer looking security screens now for sliders, but not for casements, really.

It's likely a shroud to protect from the weather and make it more aesthetically pleasing. They just pulled it up to access the cabling, I'd guess.

Yeah, it looks poly up to the pedway, and then plywood on the pedway itself under the wall.

Still kind of weird place to do it, when if they simply shifted it about foot over the entire pedway would be behind the barrier.

The people that live in those buildings did not design them or choose to live in them for aesthetic purposes. They almost certainly live there because the rent is low and they don't do thorough background checks.
