TofuDiva posted:The one thing is, if I suddenly had spiders everywhere, I would suspect that there is a food source they're finding in the house, and I'd drive myself batty trying to figure out what it is and where it is and whether it (not the spiders) is a problem. If I had spiders suddenly appear everywhere, I’d assume the food source is me

Luckily in the UK spiders tend to congregate in the hot rat water tap and leave the drinking water alone.

I was just joshin' him but I did assume it was an autocomplete error, you're probably right here. Though I'm British and I've never seen rando open containers used for this, always a sealed tank. Ergh. As if legionnaires' disease isn't enough to deal with already.

Apparently, older homes did this. Every now and then a thread will derail about why mixer taps are more common in the US than the UK and the reason was to prevent cross contamination between clean cold water and the rat soup tank in the attic.

Every now and then a thread will derail about why mixer taps are more common in the US than the UK and the reason was to prevent cross contamination between clean cold water and the rat soup tank in the attic. This was still true with sealed hot water tanks due to the risk of cultivating legionella. Lots of homes have switched to combi boilers now so the hot water is on-demand, so most homes have also got mixer taps these days.

Hint: if, like me, you assume you've found it when you get to the fourth picture with its water damaged wall, you're very, very wrong.

Do you guys usually put any artwork behind your TV? I just moved into a new house and all I have is the TV stand and the TV itself - I'm thinking of putting potted plants around it, but above it there will still be a huge empty space.

Brawnfire posted:Why the gently caress are they open I presume pressure, since hot water expands and in Ye Oldene Times proper safety valves and such weren't available. Now, even so there are much smarter ways to do it, but I presume it's because of the loving British. Also wrt combi boilers, delivering hot water "on demand" tends to produce much more limescale in anything that uses said hot water. You avoid having filthy plague water in your tank just by sizing it properly, morons go for the biggest tank ever because "WHAT IF I RUN OUT OF HOT WATER?????" which is good, because if it's sized properly, you should have at least one zero-hot-water event as often as possible, like once a week ideally, because it's the heating of the water, the temperature change, that actually murders the bacteria.

Or you could just.....turn it up hot enough that the bacteria can't survive and install a mixing valve on the output. This seems like a much surer way to do it, which is why that's how it's generally done these days.

I suspect that that blank space is why there used to be a fashion for huge TV hutches with shelves above the box. I like your idea of potted plants around it. You might find that that's enough, but in any case it is reversable, and it would fill things in a bit and give you time to live in the space before figuring out whether you want to do anything else with that wall.
