That's not a doublewide, that's on a concrete foundation and was built on site. The lack of skirting is the first giveaway. Not many people are going to take the time to put a full pad down under a doublewide. If they're putting a doublewide on any permanent foundation, block would be the most likely method so you still have access to the plumbing underneath. It's a boring rear end house, but it's not two trailers butted together.

There was an episode of This American Life called "don't you be my neighbor" about a guy that bought property in a quiet area, set up a "firearms tactics school" and proceeded to have his "students" harass the neighbors when they complained. That's what that property reminds me of, some rear end in a top hat skirting zoning laws to run a business as a "school" and proceed to make the local area unlivable, and lying about his background and credentials to make himself seem more authentic.

Apparently cedar 6 x 6 posts are not up to code for porch supports. I can get an engineer to sign off on them for $500. Just bought 4 PT posts.

That blows, I remember paying through the nose for cedar 4x4s on my deck railing, cannot imagine what 6x6 costs. If you want to help the PT blend in with the rest of the structure I can't recommend this stuff enough in Bronze Cedar. https://seal-once.com/product/marine-premium-wood-sealer/

The "problem" was it being "too narrow" apparently, which he "fixed" by designing a massive cubical block which by definition gives you less surface area to volume -> no windows for most of the I find Le Corbusier's original ideas less soulless and dehumanising than many of the later Brutalist* housing projects that claimed to be following on from him but totally missed the point. Munger seems to be a particularly extreme example of this. *Brutalist structures can be amazing as objects but as living spaces can be pretty brutal.  e:clarification.

You can save a lot of money by using your water heater as a dual water/light reservoir. All you have to do is wire all your lights through the tank in the water and heater, super simple! Before any of you fucks who've been corrupted by "safety" people, this works because photons have no mass and thus take up no space, learn some physics before you criticize!

All our light switches have tiny green LEDs embedded that glow when the light is off. All our fan switches have tiny red LEDs embedded that glow when the fan is on.

I do think it’s interesting that it’s a dimmer switch (slider to right of undersized toggle). I wish I could see how it failed internally.

 Posts are to code now. Working on stair stringers so I can get the inspector to check out my panel box. Apparently they have a problem with using rickety aluminum ladders sitting on smooth concrete surfaces. Actually this was a pretty cheap lesson for my dad. His mantra has been throughout the build, "what are they going to do make us rip it out?" Clayton Bigsby posted:It could be a light hammer from someone else turning off another light too quickly. Honestly why do they even bother having two separate trades? Plumbing and electrical are just interchangeable skills. Edit: my neighbour's panel box has been sparking and an electrician was over to try and fix it. Anyone want to hazard a guess what brand panel box?

Finished the first run of my stairs. Double 3/4" ply for the treads, single 3/4 ply for the risers. A builder friend stopped by and said I had hosed up the stringers, because they would never fit together right.  (Put the treads and risers in the slots on one side, then put the other Stringer on top and hammer them into the slots on the other(PL already applied, then screw and nail).  It's tacked into place right now. Need a wall on the other side and some 2x6 beams on the ends and tapconned into the floor.

Like so many towns and cities in California, the communities around the university are in the thrall of single-family zoning policies that make multifamily developments all but impossible, forcing students and staff to either live far from campus or pay inflated housing prices. In neighboring Goleta, a segregationist zoning code bans apartments nearly citywide, while in unincorporated Isla Vista, densities are strictly capped at 20 units per acre. The city of Santa Barbara has permitted fewer than 500 apartments over the past half-decade — half as many units as down-and-out Detroit built last year — despite enormous demand. (For further context: Each floor of Munger Hall would have more than 500 units.) guys i don't think it's really a defense of munger's architectural vision
