All that space behind the toilet and they put the TP tower in front. I guess it was too tall. The way the tank goes into the wall reminds me of these shelves:  Some of them seem to leave more room above the tank, but still seems like a tight fit for any repairs to the toilet. I was in a airbnb where I'm not sure you would be able to get the lid off even.

Brings new meaning to the term "poo poo shelf" at the very least.

I once found in a rental place that the toilet cistern was only accessible by sliding a massive, 7ft long quartz slab shelf out from the wall and carefully negotiating it out of the bathroom. And the toilet flush was one of those push button ones which gets clogged with limescale and unreliable after a few years, jamming open. Just the kind of thing you want to deal with when you need to leave for work. wooger fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Dec 18, 2020 |

That sucks rear end, but next time just close the valve that provides water to the toilet, and deal with it when you get home.

I have a shelf in both my full bathrooms like that one, except it's laid out so I can get to the valve and get the lid off the toilet. I'm not sure whether the original builders or the previous owner were responsible for that piece of attention to detail, but boy am I grateful. Is there even space to remove the toilet if there isn't space to get the lid off? I've never replaced a whole throne before.

You think it was a stud wall? And in a rental, nope. It was easier to shut off water to the whole flat and deal with it later. Until I got shredded and could do it as a morning post-poo poo warmup routine.

I've got this work of genius at the office: The building owners decided that wanted a carpet from the door to the elevator, and now the door gets stuck on the carpet. Stays in that position all day unless someone pushes it shut.

But in the end leaving that door open to the outside all year long is cheaper than would could happen if that rug wasn't there.

Which makes it all the crazier when employers cheap on toilet paper and coffee.

Empty Sandwich posted:the standard way to open them is by running them over, iirc Holy poo poo, you weren’t kidding. Wikipedia posted:The extraction of the kernel from the fruit of the black walnut is difficult. The thick, hard shell is tightly bound by tall ridges to a thick husk. Rolling the nut underfoot on a hard surface such as a driveway is a common method; commercial huskers use a car tire rotating against a metal mesh.

Collateral Damage posted:When I was a kid my father decided to remove a tree from the front yard. I don't remember what kind of tree it was, but I remember it took my father several days to manually dig out as much of the root system as he could. His plan was to save money by digging it out and then pull it free by looping a tow rope around it and pull it out with the car. I've seen videos where the stump comes out and flies majestically through the car's rear windshield. This approach seems like a poor proposition overall.

Blue Footed Booby posted:I've seen videos where the stump comes out and flies majestically through the car's rear windshield. This approach seems like a poor proposition overall. I've pulled out a bunch of small trees with my truck, it's just important to limit yourself to small trees and work slowly, otherwise you have to do a ton of work digging and cutting roots or you will break something that isn't the tree. It also helps if you have the trunk of the tree so you have leverage on the roots vs just pulling on a short stump.

Slugworth posted:4 years after this eo is reversed, making it a pretty absurd and pointless eo. But stuff like this tends to be about signaling things to the base more than anything else. Yeah it's not about the staying power of the EO. it's about setting a scene and a precedent for what is coming next time they have a shot.

If there's enough clearance at the top for the door to be shimmed or the pivot raised it won't be a big deal to get it working. You do want to have the door mechanics or folks with experience to do it, though; doors are particular with a lot of simple tricks you need to know.
