In the UK because you drive on the other side of the road, does that mean the drive thru runs clockwise around the building? Because it looks like you're setup for cars to wrap counter clockwise around the building like they do in the states

I think this means NJAN99 will have to demolish and start again with a lower-case r-shaped architecture

Seems unnecessarily complex. Just use a couple of those lane switching junctions like they have in Macau: You already have foundations rated for this scale of infrastructure so it should be a quick job

Nice job on the engine swap. How come you never posted about it in the chat thread? Or did you...????

I'd worry less about if it goes clockwise or counterclockwise, and more about if the self drive can work out that the bifolds aren't a garage.

I hereby demand that you put at least one plant in the plant room. Artificial is acceptable.

It seems like an ideal place for your mushroom farm. But those aren't plants so they wouldn't qualify.

It has, in fact, gone mouldy in there.

NotJustANumber99 posted:Where I've left the insulation and then moved it theres like a dry shadow on the floor? Is it dust? If so, the shadow is in your lungs too. Serious answer- moisture from the air condensing on your floor slab? Concrete shows it really well compared with other materials. It's worth running a dehumidifier inside once you start getting the place airtight, especially once you have plasterers round.

Sold a leftover pallet of bricks on eBay. For more than I paid for them but less than they are now. Nice guy and his wife and kid. Had a working pickup truck and trailer so he can go gently caress himself. Also turns out eBay takes 13% which is pretty loving noticeable on 600 quid. Maybe I didn't make any money after all.

Should have saved them for any little retaining walls when you do your landscaping

A pallet of bricks, I sold with glee, On eBay for a price that seemed fair to me, A nice guy came with wife and little tot, With pickup truck and trailer, gently caress him I thought. But eBay, with their fees, oh what a drag, Thirteen percent, it's a hefty tag, Out of my profits, it surely took a bite, Maybe I didn't make any money, what a fright!

There was a young man with some bricks Who priced them to sell pretty quick This masonry deal Soon lost its appeal As if Ebay's clear rules were a trick.

If I was building a house I would simply purchase the correct number of bricks

They told me to build a foundation That could support our entire nation So I got to work very soon And built the guys their own break room But alas my truck got too hot! A new engine is my need so I thought Well maybe I should have inquired Because none of these things were required and now here we are, posting from afar While my subscribers keep clicking a fiver

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou old and overheated piece of poo poo. Chain winch doth shake the broken motor 'way, And new placed replaced soon anew in bits. Sometime too hot the radiator whines, And coolant overheating bearings seize, And RPM from revs sometime declines, By misuse, maintenance foregone, final wheeze. But thy horrendous SNAFUs shall not fade, Nor blunders you, dishonest, disavow, Nor time and paywall memory abrade, When goldmined doth eternity endow So long as engineering brain conceit, Long life to hubris, folly, self deceit.

I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“A vast and L-shaped house of stone Stands in the village... Near it, on the sand, Not sunk, a great foundation lies, whose floor, And heating track, and aerate bricks out fanned, Tell that its builder well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The thread that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is not just a number, ninety nine; Look on my house, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The surprisingly level foundations stretch far away.”

We all thrive on human misery. And NJAN99 excels at taking the miserable process of self-building and innovating new ways to up the misery quotient.

NotJustANumber99 posted:That was just to win an argument with Bobby. I'm not a real architect but I have a degree in it. Just caught up on the thread. Been loving the poetry. I must have missed you saying you're an architect before, but I had money on you being either an architect or some sort of related field after seeing that you owned a Saab. It's pretty much only architects who drive (drove, RIP Saab cars) them. It also makes perfect sense because all of the architects I've ever dealt with professionally have been good at drawing nice pictures of houses but had absolutely no clue at all when it came to any of the actual details, about anything.

Grey Hunter posted:I wonder if they should make all architects build their own homes before signing them off. This is something we discuss at length after every visit from an architect. Landscape architects are the worst of the worst though, the biggest confusion is why they insist on planning everything from a sea level datum point (that almost always gets immediately run over by a fork lift after being installed) rather than something easy to work from like the finished floor of the existing building

It's because people are really good at missing - signs on drawings, so working to a datum that avoids them entirely makes it a bit less error prone. London Underground use OS datum - 100m. People also like to leave the levels at what the surveyor got from the magic C3PO laser thing and that's why you get things like 131.4354m AOD. You could set up a local datum and alter all the numbers to something sane, but that invites a gently caress up. Setting your only permanent ground marker right where all the site traffic will batter it is clever, but even better is to put it on the first thing that's going to be demolished. The real seasoned pro surveyors paint a PGM on the end of their boot so it's always handy. So the story goes anyway.
