There's clearly room for a fridge in front of the bad LSD trip paintings - maybe they took it out because the random paint swooshes on it were too ugly (even in this context) for the photographer to allow it? Oh, and I love how they've destroyed every single cupboard and drawer front by scratching 90's Jazz patterns into them. It's even more obvious in the bathroom.

The only thing that sucks is the cabinets should be super modern, not some lovely shaker style. Ruins the whole trip.

Just noticed the dolphin faucet, drat, they got rid of that before selling too. Good news is the master bath is still in its original condition:

I see a clawfoot tub, the big tub, and I think a shower? Hey, if there's room for it, why not. I don't hate that master bath at all. Wood stove is interesting. Cold climate? If so, it's useful.

AmbassadorofSodomy posted:YO!! Sweet crib dawg! Darchangel posted:Amazing! clawfoot tub, jacuzzi tub, and a double shower. Behind the glass blocks are a dark green toilet and matching bidet. The big tub unfortunately became impractical after we replaced the leaking 100-gallon water heater. That's actually a gas-burning stove, not wood. It and a matching one in the bedroom are the only sources of heat for the master suite. Enough BTUs but kind of stupid. Plz don't ask about the remainder of my seven-zone three-fuel heat system. At the risk of doxxing myself I can post more about the house if there is interest. It has been a 3-year process of slowly de-weirding it and catching up on serious maintenance deficits. The POs spent 20 years putting tons of money into crazy stuff and zero into anything actually necessary or thoughtful, which is a lot on a 160-year-old house. Sneak peek:

TooMuchAbstraction posted:I've occasionally wondered how effective using something like permeable concrete would be at alleviating this kind of issue. I'm not gonna watch that video but it's not. I mean, it is, but it's not a total solution. With the right mix and base you can achieve a fraction of regular permeability by the numbers so that might get you there for your small area, but you can't pave everything with it and expect this to work for runoff for so many reasons. This works on a very small scale with the right things around it. It's not a complete solution for paving everything with no consequences. A heavy rain storm will rip the poo poo out of everything around areas paved that way if the surrounding areas aren't correctly prepared and separated.

I'm not surprised that it's not a panacea, so thanks for that. Can you give some detail on why it'd break down in the case you provided? I would naively expect that if water goes through the concrete into whatever's underneath it, it would have negligible impact on the area adjacent to the concrete, so I must be missing something. I figured the issues would be more around, like, creating sinkholes out of what you thought was a solid foundation, or something along those lines. And yeah, sorry for the ad video, it was just the first thing that came up.

It doesn’t pass water fast enough. Like, water can pass through a sponge, but if you hold a kitchen sponge under a faucet, most of the water will run off the sides. There are also major issues with clogging. If dirt gets onto the concrete, it can fill pores and greatly decrease permeability. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 03:51 on May 29, 2021 |

Aha, thank you, both of you! The video you linked also mentions that permeable pavement isn't nearly as strong as traditional mixes, and because of how it works it doesn't provide any real advantage on a slope.

The best permeable concrete mixes you can basically turn a hose on, and make a wet spot just a few in diameter while it disappears. You can't run loaded freight over it, but they can typically handle light trucks, if it's professionally done. The trick is all the infrastructure that goes below the permeable concrete. You need storage volume underneath, to allow for percolation (if your soils can even perc), and connecting underdrain if needed. All this stuff is what makes it "work" for Stormwater Management, but is mostly beyond the scope of backyard hobbyist. Also like mentioned, it clogs up so you need to vacuum it periodically with streetsweeper-scale equipment, which again, homeowner won't do.
