(this one looks kind of ugly and must have cost untold millions)    There is one house (I think in the NE somewhere) that has like a 40 foot wall that slides open, but I can't find a link to it. I don't think it's Olson Kundig.

 Halloween post - Now we know where Grandma Sawyer sleeps.  24 days in and I haven't made an 'it's so ugly, it's scary' joke yet. I guess I was saving it for this horrible serial killer den that some rustic fetishist blog was gushing over.

I replaced the horrible lovely slat blinds in my house with cell shade things when I had a kid to get rid of the murder ropes and they are dope. The opening from top and bottom is a thing. I have a big bay window in the livingroom and so I just measured the panes and got 3 separate blinds so I can get all artsy with my light levels while still preventing random people from being able to just look into my house - would recommend.

JEEVES420 posted:when did this become a concern? It's still underreported but came to more light with a CPSC report in the 1980's. The American Association of Pediatrics looked at it again in 2017 and estimated that in the US alone, 680 kids per year were still having ER visits for window cord injuries or death. The cords are considered a danger to pets too, although I haven't found actual statistics on that (probably because there's no reporting requirement.)

As of when I last rented in the UK it became a requirement to have them hooked up out of the way, or at least I assume that's the case since I can't see why the landlord's agent asked about it during a walkthrough if it wasn't legally necessary. https://bbsa.org.uk/news/659-landlords-window-blind-safety

Colour choice aside - is that a towel rack directly above the shitter? That seems wrong somehow. EDIT - okay, just saw the price tag. It's a showroom.

Is there a trick to it, or do you just get those delivered? Depends on the rug and the car. If it's rolled properly you can fold it it in half, making it 5' long. You can even fold the entire thing rather than rolling. Most of my larger rugs were rolled loosely and then folded over themselves and tied when they were delivered.

Folding worked, I now actually have a loving rug. I had to settle for 7x10, but good enough. Now if only these things weren’t like 150$ Pollyanna fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Oct 26, 2019 |

Mocking Bird posted:Or through the trunk/hatch with the back seat and passenger seat put down Yeah this right here. If you got a sedan, see if your rear seats fold forward. Then you can fold your passenger seat backward and stick it in the passenger leg space. I used to pick up 12 foot 2x4s back in the day in a Ford Escort, with the trunk closed.

The best thing that ever happened for my house's aesthetic was getting a Prius with a hatchback, lol. Finally got our back sunporch/3-season room fixed up, but now I have no loving clue whether to use it as an outdoor dining area or additional overflow lounge space. It's approximately 10x15 if anyone has any inspirational closed porch pics or thoughts. If I have time someday, I was going to do a monochrome mandala mural on the wall that's centered in the photo (cheap drywall tossed up to cover the aluminum). Definitely also going to have a lot of plants - there is overflow from our house. The sheeting over the windows isn't tightly fitted so it's more outdoor space than indoor.

Got another question. I attempted to put up some wall art today (one of those cheapo thick square things that're hollow on the back) and when I put in the drywall anchor, the spot where I stuck it in just collapsed inward on itself. I've never seen that before, and I've lived in a lot of lovely apartments in my life. So, loving  that I guess.My actual question is, what's a non-destructive way to put up framed posters or wall art if I can't drill or hammer anything in (there's no way this place can loving take it)? Those adhesive strip things are completely useless as far as I'm concerned.

There isn't one. You'll either have to hang everything from the studs, or from strings anchored into the header/ceiling. Halloween post - inspiration for a lush patio space

Actually, this was a stud. Or at least as I understand it, I drilled into the post where a stud was found, then installed a drywall anchor (helps cover up the hole when I leave). That’s why I was so surprised when the area surrounding the hole collapsed. I can try the monkey hook idea, though I don’t know for sure if what I have is really drywall or just...some unknown material.
