That must have hurt so bad, even brazilian waxes are done with way less hairs at once. Please be careful and tie back all hairs when doing stuff with spinning tools.

Although not nearly as bad as the McMansions posted, for just being a generic suburban home, there is some slight window horror here on this house I walk by frequently  Those 2 top windows on the right are, for some reason, smaller than the ones below and not lined up at all, but also there's a random top window that IS like the first floor ones...and then those two random :sideways" windows with the fake square window panes.

One from the office I thankfully won't have to go back into till September, at the earliest (Previously I was on a sort of week on, week off swapping schedule with other IT guys) Standard double-doors, right? Sure, let me just open the left one here and-  Oh. Who the gently caress makes double doors like that that DON'T have the hinge on the outside? For the record, the right door opens the same way, i.e. they both have hinges on the right as you're exiting, so the right door is sort of correct?

That wouldn't be so bad if there was anything preventing someone from slamming into the hinge side of the left door, like a push sticker or something to indicate which side it opens from. But I'm sure they got a sweet deal on doors before they realised they can't change which way they swing.

I really dislike push bars like that where you can't tell which side the door swings on, this really takes it to the next level.

My buddy has been sending us updates to our group chat over the last 6 months of all the work he was doing to finish his basement. Today he's asking about dehumidifiers. Turns out his basement has a major humidity problem and he didn't bother sealing anything before putting up drywall, and the moisture is condensing on his air conditioning ducts and dripping onto his brand new ceiling. Also I saw someone else post this on Facebook that they're super proud of. I hope the railing is only decorative.

He needs to wrap the ducts in water-resistant insulation (duct wrap worked great in my cave of a basement) or install enough (in size or numbers) dehumidification to dry it out. My issue was sweating along the first eight feet of the duct trunk run.

I don’t know if anyone else is following this but after a period of denying any problem, China’s official position is now that Three Gorges dam has deformed only slightly and that the parts that have buckled are non-structural so really the dam is 100% safe and will absolutely not fail. https://asiatimes.com/2020/07/three-gorges-dam-deformed-but-safe-say-operators/

What non structural parts of the dam would deform under a load? I would think that would have to be a structural part of the dam but im not a dam engineer.

I guarantee they're also held in by two screws or something. For reference, I built a set of stairs in my shop and used 2x4s to hold up the handrail spaced at 18" and even with six 3" screws on each one, the rail still isn't nearly as solid as one that is designed properly.

Do you have anything to show what designed properly looks like? I'm having a hard time conceptualizing what a properly secure railing should look like as a non-DIY non-carpentry person.

I'm having a hard time conceptualizing what a properly secure railing should look like as a non-DIY non-carpentry person. There's no newel post or similar hefty board to brace the rail at the foot of the stairs, and it doesn't appear to be sufficiently attached at the house end either. The crooked balusters will fail because they are crooked and weight will be distributed unevenly instead of straight down. The simple answer to your question is that it's designed with crucial structural elements inexplicably missing, and it's poorly done.

Looks like I was halfway there then: my first thought was that the railing needed to be anchored to the side of the house. What I was fishing for was a discussion on proper railing design because it isn't something I've ever had to interact with but seems like something I should know.

What I was fishing for was a discussion on proper railing design because it isn't something I've ever had to interact with but seems like something I should know. Like, the person who built that railing in the picture is functionally using side-attached balusters as the structural support for the handrail. This means somewhere in the vicinity of 32 screws and/or nails are the actual support system since those balusters are attached on the outside of the steps. This is a very weak design. Side attached balusters are decorative, and not meant to carry load, so it must be structurally supported by, say a 4x4 newel post at the foot of the stairs, as well as being physically attached at the top end. Those items are supposed to be what carries the load D-LINK fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Jul 24, 2020 |
