If the the only shower heads available in local stores are the modern environmentally friendly low flow ones, and you hate those (or hate the idea of them) then a garden hose nozzle might seem like an attractive alternative. Hella strong spray comes out of those things.

I knew nothing about roofing, but could assume "shingles keep the rain from going into the house, so you don't want places where water can get around or under the shingles." Knowing nothing but that, god drat. They say it never rains in southern California but when it does, that house is going to be a pool.

Yeah, that roofing job is a disaster, but the shape of the roof is also a disaster. Make lovely choices, win lovely prizes, I guess.wesleywillis posted:There has yet to be a low flow shower head that I've not been able to turn in to a high flow. I'd be happier with low flow if it didn't inevitably manifest as low pressure. Like, I can handle a low volume of water if that water's moving fast, but when you give me a pathetic little dribble I'm gonna be peeved.

Just posting to say how gently caress ugly and stupid barn doors are. It's going to be something people mock in the future, like shag carpet or plastic slip covers. That and "reclaimed wood" trend. Shits gonna get dusty and then give you splinters trying to clean it. deoju fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Dec 20, 2017 |

My local lumberyard once had a sale on "rustic" red oak. I asked what rustic meant; apparently it's just knowlessman-speak for #2/3-grade wood. In other words, they had a sale on their splintery/knotty crap.

How come I get this feeling watching these bad roofing videos that the installer probably took more time to do it wrong than if they had done it right the first time.

Roofing is the kinda job where if you hosed up earlier in the job you gotta spend a lot of time and money to unfuck it and set it right. I'm sure this guy wasn't about that life.

FCKGW posted:Roofing is the kinda job where if you hosed up earlier in the job you gotta spend a lot of time and money to unfuck it and set it right. I'm sure this guy wasn't about that life. It occurs to me to wonder if it would be feasible to have a roof made out of overlapping 4'x8' sheet rigid "shingles", screwed down to the roof deck (maybe with a tar/rubber gasket to prevent water intrusion around the screw holes). You might have to caulk the edges between panels, but since they're so big that still wouldn't be too bad. And I bet with only a little cleverness in the design you could set things up so a single panel could be pulled off and replaced without disturbing the others. I'm sure the materials cost would be substantially higher than it would be for traditional shingles, but it might be cheaper to install and maintain. (EDIT: I assume that there are good reasons why this isn't done, so really what I'm wondering is why it's a bad idea) TooMuchAbstraction fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Dec 20, 2017 |

^^^: Edit: This is what I get for waiting a couple minutes before posting. That is basically what people already do with corrugated roofing, although they often go one better and just make panels the length of the roof slope. If there is damage, you can either replace the whole panel or (I think) cut the damaged section and attached a replacement section that is welded/sealed in place. I don't know why metal roofing isn't more common, at least in the US. I think its just a cultural/tradition thing? It's very common in many countries though.

I was recently in a hotel room with one of those loving doors on the bathroom. It was also the closet door. If you wanted in the closet, you had to close the bathroom door, then if someone came out of the bathroom while you were getting something in the closet, it would smush you. It also didn't really close the gap all the way for privacy etc. This was a two bed room that I was sharing with a coworker at a convention. Stupid as all loving gently caress.

You can also get corrugated or metal roofing that looks like shingles from a distance, so you get all the joys of an easy to install metal roof, with the added fun of it not looking kinda odd compared to the next house over.

(northeast US) Midwest here, have the original terne standing seam roof on my house from 1930. Hail damage and all. The only issues I have are insurance wont cover it because its more than 50 years old, and a newer section of it over an addition leaked where the two joined. I was able to fix that myself pretty cheaply.

Standing-seam steel roofing runs about 50% more than arch shingles here if you're doing, like, two plain straight sides, and quickly skyrockets to 2x or more if you've got a bunch of cut up valleys and/or skylights.

I have a section of the house now which houses the guest bedroom and downstairs/guest bathroom, and there's an entrance about that size which leads to the two doors. I'm probably going to fit a big concertina door so guests can close it off at night but it'll stay out of the way during the day. Thumposaurus posted:So pocket doors then. Pocket doors can be tricky, at least with the construction I've seen. My stud walls are 100mm thick and have full-depth posts at the ends, and even the previously-external brick walls with cavities have wall ties in them.

Sliding doors in general suck because you have to take up twice as much wall space for the door., and you can't hang anything on the door. They're ok for closet doors, but I still prefer bi-fold because at least then you can have the entire closet open and not just half.
