Ripoff posted:Are you pulling this from a newer digital multimeter with an auto-ranging display? If so, welcome to the land of capacitance and extremely sensitive electronics. Basically some other live wire in the area is emitting EMR and it's causing a "voltage" to apply to the line because your multimeter has such a high impedance on it that the line can't ground-out like with shittier, older multimeters. I'm not sure what the technical words are for this, but it was plaguing my lines around my house until I realized that the "voltage" is bullshit. It is indeed a modern, auto-ranging, very nice multimeter. I'll scrounge up an old one and see what happens.

What the hell is that floor/ceiling made out of? Alternatively, what the hell kind of bolts did they use to secure whatever that is? IIRC floor joists are supposed to be at least, like, 2x8s, and then you have the ceiling, subfloor, and floor to punch through as well so you're looking at like a 10" lag bolt there. Honestly I'm kind of impressed they managed to keep the bolts pointing that straight.

With that in mind, doesn't a junction box have holes in the back you could run screws through?

Still working my way through to the end of the thread, and it’s been amazing between hearing the voice of Ron Swanson 2.0 in my head as I read certain posts (joking aside, Motronic, I love your no-bullshit attitude) and finding out about the McMansion Hell blog. The pimp house/compound from page 235 takes the loving cake. No handrails anywhere on the many curved/spiral marble (= slick) staircases that have sharp-edged stairs and fall onto...more marble? Maybe it’s because I somehow managed to slip on the stairs going down to the ground floor in my house this morning (carpeted stairs for some luck, and I was being careless/carrying an unbalanced load), but parties with hookers and blow? What sort of cleaning chemical gets out blood stains without discoloring marble? Because the pimp must have ordered that poo poo by the 55 gallon drum. Not the worst house I’ve ever seen, as that would be Mike Tyson’s dream house. — Now being converted into a church! I grabbed the first GIS result that had some pix in the heyday; I’ve seen other sites that really get into the disturbing details. Example: the open bathroom, maybe 12’ square, with the toilet sitting dead center without any privacy walls. Just a throne in the throne room.

Voting sex swing, although I'm with TooMuchAbstraction - that was, almost word-for-word, running through my head while processing that image.

Honestly I'm kind of impressed they managed to keep the bolts pointing that straight. Nah, those bolts are coming up from an unfinished basement. The person putting them in picked a section between joists and screwed right into the subfloor. There was no 'ceiling' to get through, so to speak.

It looks like sex swings mostly hang from a single eye-bolt. It must be some other sex dungeon apparatus.

Probably. The "sex swing" people say it's an eye-bolt or two. I've hung around the schedenfrue and crappy construction threads long enough to know that every single "stripper pole" in a home will be installed wrong.

Javid posted:You want at least two, preferably four. Straps for the swing, yes. But looks like most models have a frame/bar that the swing itself hangs from, and that's what attaches to the eye bolt. Which makes sense because it'd give you more range of movement, and it'd be a much easier installation.
