Get a chunk of drywall and make your hole smaller. (I’ve had huge hole problems in the past, got it all tightened up now.)

Works great for heritage houses where the exterior has to remain intact. I am going to guess that 15 years ago when swathes of boomers were building their dream houses, they weren't doing it in the most competitive urban markets. I would guess (article is paywalled) that at least 75% of these are out in lovely surburbs or exurbs where there's a lot less demand for parting out your big house into smaller suites like you see in space-constrained cities. If you're somewhere like Vancouver or another hotbed housing city, you don't have trouble selling anything that comes with land, anyway.

Millennials, and even much of Gen X, weren't able to ride the wave of rapid property appreciation that allowed them to continually 'upgrade' their home to more expensive models. Buying a $700K McMansion without selling a previous home for nice profits just isn't in the cards unless you're making >top-5% salary. That, and the cost of everything home-related (especially labor rates) has increased much faster than inflation. All the sudden, being responsible for repairs, maintenance, taxes, and utilities on an oversized, aging home doesn't look like a very good deal. I actually don't buy the arguments about house preferences changing that much; it seems a bit like sour grapes. I think millennials seem to prefer smaller houses because it's what their finances, and frankly, common sense about costs, allows them to purchase. Everyone in that age bracket that I know that actually has the means to buy the McMansion (i.e. rich) typically does, though it's usually new construction. Millennials with the means don't typically buy the 1700 sq/ft older home in the not-quite-gentrified, questionable part of town that the media seems to think is what they actually prefer.

Yeah that too. We're working on it, though. Having a provincial government that actually cracks down on money laundering rather than giving handjobs to the casinos facilitating it is helping. With any luck people will remember that it was the previous government that created this whole mess. The Glumslinger posted:Yup, it's a house, it's jot supposed to be a investment. You get value by living in it, not by making a big profit when you sell it. What are you, some kind of socialist trying to destroy the value of rich people's hard-earned property speculation investments?

They do in my town, often to knock it down and build a modern cube house on top, but there will be extensive renovations at the least. I think millennial interest in smaller houses is more about 1. just what's available in the cities where they want to be, and 2. not having older kids who need more space yet. I know some people who've moved back out to the suburbs for work, and they've either bought or build 2-3 bedroom houses because that's just the size their families are at right now. I have no doubt they'll upsize to proper mcmansions when their kids are older.

I think you can see a strip of double-sided tape on the back of it, it was probably attached to the wall. But come on, invest in a new power strip that you can screw onto things. e: actually: looking at that, how do you think they attached the clock? Would definitely pass that doorway quickly and keep to the right side.

Add check valves and ditch the coins and that would be kinda neat, honestly.

I'm the lovely soldering job that I really hope is that bad on intention because otherwise how the gently caress does a professional of any stripe leave that much excess/leaking solder.

I recently stripped the paint off a bunch of pipes in my kitchen and all of the soldering looks like that, though I don't know how old they are. The water flow in that sink looks terrible would hate to have to wash my hands in it, assuming it is supposed to be a sink that is and not some kind of water feature?

That is honestly rather amazing, yeah. How bad is your aim with the flux/torch that the solder sticks that far back from the joint?

I just noticed the wood board behind the "sink" has a massive knot sticking out of it. Hell, let's be honest, it's a branch. "Rustic" does not mean incompetent.

That's what it looks like when you don't know how to sweat a joint and think solder is something you "paint" on. No professionals were involved.
