My great uncle was also an eccentric nut in a good way. He lived in a castle (it was some old oil or cattle baron's home that officially had "castle" in the name and was built like one), and had a tiny little railroad running around part of the property. Went to a family reunion there once and it was a hell of a lot of fun for a kid.

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:Yeah, I was like... but I've paid $$$ for alpaca fiber? Looks like little stairs for cats to zoom around the walls. They used leftover pieces from the stair threads installed on the other side of the wall. They are sold in different length, and you can buy them with either the finished front, or front and side(s). Someone obviously bought the wrong thing and decided to make use of the leftovers. Cats absolutely love stuff like that by the way

Just moved house and am in the "find all the stuff that's wrong that you forgot you fixed in the last place" stage, top prize so far is the sewer stack vent that is just open into the attic with no valve so it stinks of drains up there (and a shower sump has dried out so that's a smell we're getting a lot of), but the radiator feed running uninsulated in the open eaves is pretty dumb. As is the toilet waste that uses a Flexi couple to go down then back up to join the stack for ??? Reason. The false wall built in front of the real one to create some shelves/AV unit has some interesting electrics as well. Looks like they spliced and just pulled the cables through from the sockets behind to a new socket on the false wall, but never terminated them and just left some live wires chilling out there along with 4 coax aerial runs that get no signal from anything. Ah, the joys of home ownership.

Inside of the stairs are going to have wainscoting, with the outside having 4' of wainscoting then drywall above it. Failed ANOTHER inspection - Different fire marshal - SAME wiring. Call me paranoid but I can't imagine that two completely different fire marshals, from competely different government bodies (the city and the state police), would just randomly come to the same conclusion about such a clever wiring setup. I pointed out that Id already purchased and installed over 180 outlets over the course of the project, so I probably knew what I was doing by now. And anyway, I could have every outlet-capable thing I own plugged in, on, and running, and it wouldn't even take up a quarter of them. Meanwhile, the Ol Wifenheimer, fuzzed out of her mind on black bombers and kratom, skittered by like a trembling woodcutter ant with several dozen sheets of plywood hoisted above her quietly jabbering head. I told the Marshal how much I wanted them but he shook his head sadly and said, "Grover, you need to choose a few outlets, and you need to take the rest away. You can't have them all, it's dangerous, you could burn your house down and you don't want to die in a terrible fire? Do you? That's why we need you to take the wires out, Grover, so you don't hurt yourself and your family." I swore up and down that I'd do the work, and not just try to fool him with a new fake-wiring setup like I did the other guy, but now that he's walked out the door - I kind of feel like just leaving it, and then start dodging inspections until after I get licensed up myself

We were digging around 10 deep on the edge of the foundation when the mania began to take hold. I remember saying something like ``I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should add more outlets....'' And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like building inspectors, all swooping and screeching and jotting down notes around the roof, which was down to plywood and tar with about a hundred code faults a minute. And a voice was screaming: ``Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?'' Then it was quiet again. My wife had taken her shirt off and was stuffing shirts into the walls to facilitate the insulation process. ``What the hell are you yelling about?'' she muttered, staring up at the sun with her eyes closed and covered with wraparound Gunnar sunglasses. ``Never mind,'' I said. ``It's your turn to dig.'' No point mentioning those inspectors, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.

Many people consider it polite to put away signs of their sex life when they have guests over, along the lines of someone in a studio apartment putting their box of condoms in a drawer instead of on top of the nightstand. And that may not be a convenient place for hanging furniture.

Sentient Data posted:A) Why hide it? (An unused eye) So this real estate lady I know had this story. She s looking at houses in the blue collar/red neck/meth/ former KKK side of town. That near the oil fields. The family basically wanting a property with a mother in law unit in the back. So the front house has a old lady in it and the back house has this younger woman, the back house is just an apartment above a garage with alley access. The lady in the back answer the door in a shirt and panties and goes "oh yeah thats right....well my husbands a trucker and he came through last night....so keep in open mind. The showing goes well till they get to the bed room which has a sex swing mounted to a A fram engine hoist over the bed. The woman was a prostitute and just sat on the couch asking them to keep an open mind.
