Azza Bamboo posted:I do get annoyed seeing the tiny tiles of shame but I wonder how you can prevent it on wall tiles when one wall in the room is longer than the other and not by an easily divisible fraction? Do you just space em out a little more so it adds up? You usually arrange it so those fractional tiles go in the least conspicuous place possible. Not, for example, right smack in the middle of a row of tiles.

yeah that sort of thing is really easy to avoid even if you've never had to wrap your head around tiling-type work before, usually happens when someone does little planning and even less measuring -and- decides to start laying bricks from multiple points simultaneously/working haphazardly, so they don't realize they'll need lovely ugly gapfilling bricks until they've literally walled themselves- er, tiled themselves- into a figurative corner, and its too late to think about the workflow you need to locate those oddball cut bricks in an unobtrusive place next to a wall or similar

See with the octagonal pool from earlier I'd be tempted to speak to a tile manufacturer and see if I could get them cut to a size that'd work out of the box, accounting for the grouting space in between. After all, if you don't then you have shame tiles on each of the sideways faces.

About 15 years ago, when I was preparing to redo our kitchen floor, my wife got pretty upset because I spent three or four days (not all day) just staring at the old floor with chalk lines all over it. Managed to do the room (including an existing peninsula) without having a single tile ending up at less than half width. One of my greatest trivial accomplishments.

When I did tile planks, I always tried to make the next plank end up on weird objects like a doorway so i wouldn't have to do annoying U-shaped cuts and instead got to do two less annoying L-shaped cuts.

This is actually pretty awesome in a frat boy don't care about the house because it's Daddy's Money sort of way. This guy had a dream and he did it, it honestly doesn't look that bad. Hope that hot tub is exactly the right height to sit square on the concrete foundation and isn't being held up by the frame

Azza Bamboo posted:These don't even look like they're doing any work. Maybe before they turned this from a factory into apartments those trestle-ish supports half buried in the drywall were supporting the ceiling/roof and the cross beams were keeping them from twisting. There's probably more joinery that's covered up by that drywall. Either way they shouldn't be needed anymore and I think the exposed joists, brick wall, and giant bolts in all the beams would be more than enough '19th century industrial chic'.

To anybody that wants to sleep in a room with ugly structural beams and exposed joists, they can rent out my unfinished basement. Just put your bed between those lally columns and watch out for daddy long-legs.

It's on peninsula at a private lake, just a shame it's the pseudo log cabin from hell. The wiring seems like they were going to drywall it all, but never made it? I'm not sure what's going on.

I assume it's just as boring as a dude with no will power pulling way too much cash advance from his cards at a strip club atm, but I also enjoy the idea of a strip club that has a financing office in the back where they offer instant loans with insane conditions to patrons to pay dancers.

Even the boring cash advance is hilarious. Swipe your card and get a currency only valid in this club, for each Shotgun Dollar it costs $1.80

Blue Footed Booby posted:My mother spent some time teaching a "basic skills" course to junior enlisted. When they'd get to the lesson on calculating interest on loans there would always be a swath of the class frowning angrily at their paper. And that's the soldiers self aware enough to sign up for a class. Yeah, my good friend was a major or colonel or something in the Army right before he retired, and one of his jobs was to teach the junior enlisteds not to fall for the fancy car/truck scams of the dealers just off base. And also help them get out of those loans, to the extent possible.
