There are campers built into houses all over. There's one not far from me in southern Colorado. There's a few on zillow in washington state.

I just want to build a house inside a greenhouse and enclose some yard so my dog has somewhere to poo poo when it's cold and windy in the winter.

It's got four walls that aren't actively falling in and a roof. It would be fine for throwing a couple of rakes and a lawnmower in.

Yeah.

Like, your typical tool shed had some rot and/or rust that is on its way to compromising the structural integrity of the whole thing but has not yet advanced to that point.

Being made out of concrete, even poorly, qualifies it as “not terrible”.

Yeah.

But I have to say that when they’re repeatedly loaded and unloaded, the common, smooth metal ones creep and loosen.

The ones with perforations would probably be O.K..

but why? it works, but you can do that with a drill or pliers. that thing isn't even faster.

.... I kind of want to make one anyway - cranking down the tension with the ratchet clicks seems like it'd be incredibly satisfying.

e: the bolt one is cooler, no wrench drilling AND the resulting tie looks fancier. still a lot of work for probably not that much tighter a tie. why make and use that if you have any kind of toolbox already?

Plastic zip-ties are often used to tie together element fences that are "temporary" i.e. only in place for like twenty years, and they work fine?

Open your arcs,
Hook up to the lines and freeze
I'm just a gofer, I ain't no journeyman,
Because it's AC come, AC go,
Sine wave high, sine wave low,
Any way the arc blows doesn't really matter to
Me, to me

Mamaaa,
Just killed a man,
Put two-forty 'gainst his head, flipped the breaker,
Now he's dead
Mamaaa, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away

If I can't get permits this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Too late, inspector's come,
Sends shivers down my spine, breakers arcing all
The time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the juice
Mama, oooh

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

The cowboy has his back turned on us. He is looking up and to the right. His left arm is on his hips. His right arm hangs at his side.

I don’t think this is pareidolia. It’s a shadow.
