Your guess was very accurate! Have you been spying on my cat shelter? There was not a cat in the closet. I thought about bringing one in, but they're pretty uncooperative about that sort of thing.

The lighting was a fluorescent panel controlled by a switch in the angular protrusion, so you'd have to walk outside to turn it on/off (the thing to the right that looks like it could be a switchplate is for a phone).

Why would you build this? :psyduck:

It's especially infuriating to see stuff done badly and wrong in such a way that it's less or equal effort to just do it correctly.

This is one of those cases.

I know, right? you were already trashing the drywall! and putting up paneling over it!!!


my favorite part is the protective duct tape where it passes over the studs

no no my actual favorite part is the outlet in the top picture being entirely "mounted" by the 3" romex stud and a drywall screw. I'm very grateful the previous owners of my house did very, very minimal changes over 30+ years.

I'm thinking the drywall being torn open is the new homeowner revealing what the previous owner had done. Maybe.

the new homeowner is me tearing down paneling to reveal mold after a recent slight basement flood. the wall is exactly as I found it after popping off the paneling.


As a side note, if you ever need to remove tile, do yourself a massive favor and rent a demolition hammer. Hell, even if you have to pull up carpet tack strip out of concrete, rent one.

This is pretty mild, and hotels are kind of shooting fish in a barrel, but this place took me a minute to figure out the nuance.

This room has a "entry", kitchenette, living room all kind of in the same area as far as lighting impact goes. There are 3 switches, 2 by the door and 1 by the kitchen. It seems like they are wired in series. Switch 1 is the "master", turning on the entry light and allowing the rest of them to turn on. Switches 2 and 3 turn on/off the kitchen lights, but not in a 3 way setup. Literally all 3 must be on for the kitchen lights to work.

I checked the link, and every non-bathroom has all that stuff. What are they all? Are the round ports lights, or something else? I have seen newly built hospital rooms with less connection ports.

Between the stair treads, row on row,
The windows varied, try to hide
The burned and melted vinyl side
With outlets, self certified to NEC code

Ah yeah. Why they even sell fluffy bathroom rugs is a mystery to me, I guess some people can't see the fine layer of dust that accumulates on everything in the toilet room.
