In the power house at the refinery I used to work at there are some very old valves that have swastikas on them. A popular valve manufacturer in the 1920s or so used it as thier symbol.

While I don't really begrudge Swastika, Ontario playing the "We had it first" card, 1922 honestly isn't a lot of time before Hitler hosed up the swastika for everyone.

EDIT: I am aware that is pretty low on the list of Hitler's offenses.

While we're at it, not sure how much of a household name Spirou is in the US, but its recurring villain, megalomaniacal but ultimately pathetic wannabe dictator Zorglub and his army of brainwashed drones have now aged interestingly from their inception in the 60s.

tbf, the product came out before HIV/AIDS was in the public consciousness. Once it was though, this stuff went off the shelves pretty quickly.

I'm demoing my rotted out deck and posting about it in my thread for my house. The whole thing probably qualifies as "crappy construction" but I just discovered a detail too good not to share more broadly:

Don't worry. None of the posts that the rails are attached to are connect to the ground, they are merely poorly attached to the side of the deck, which is itself built on top of the remains of a previous deck (I think) so the whole thing wobbles alarmingly even without that element.

Are we going to take bets on if there is a yet to be discovered third deck underneath all that?

Those joists look a bit uniform, have you considered notching them? Maybe to make space for a bath hottub?

There's already a hot tub that may or may not work in our separate, enclosed deck. Structurally speaking it is a little more reassuring, but has five pairs of sliding doors, three of which open into a two foot drop-off.

That looks like a pallet under there. Albeit, a sturdy one, but it looks like a pallet.

Maybe a concrete stoop underneath that?

It's porches all the way down.

Stained glass also is not insulating glass. That window just saved the church 0.13% in their heating bill.

Sure, but with a little thought they could have done much better. Like a casement with a thin dark, frame, and then a vinyl overlay on the glass to approximate the pattern of its partner.

If I give in to my lust for cheap midwestern housing and buy a wreck of a church, I'll tribal tat the replacement windows when I sell the stained glass on ebay to an overzealous catholic.
