Ghost Leviathan posted:The gently caress is a Spice Kitchen It's an opulent old world mansion thing where it would be a kitchen that was closed off from the rest of the house so if you're help is cooking peppers or any kind of spicy thing that can aerosolize, it doesn't stink up the whole house. I think they're from before modern ventilation solutions.

Second kitchens are common in Asian cultures for cooking spices and deep frying. You see a lot in Chinese and Vietnamese neighborhoods in Vancouver. Obviously way less common these days with the price of a square foot.

Yeah my family member has one in a place on white rock beach, it's nice I guess but I've never seen them (old white couple) use it. They say it's for when they need a live-in nurse later on which, okay I guess.

A bunch of my (now dead) old rear end Italian relatives all had two kitchens in their houses.

Well, a kitchen upstairs and a stove and fridge in the laundry room. Was like that when we bought the place. Probably not up to code, I'm "excited" to see what comes up when she tries to sell it. She likes it, I think because she's not worried about cooking and making a mess around her guests. My uncle and his son both do because they both bought duplexes. My uncle remodeled the entire building so it flows as a single house, but left the upstairs kitchen. My cousin just made his upstairs an art studio.

My grandparents had a canning kitchen adjacent to their root cellar in the basement of their farmhouse. It was an ideal setup for processing massive amounts of vegetables for the winter.

A neighborhood I lived in had houses built in the late 50s and early 60s. A common feature was the summer kitchen in the basement. It was basically a stove in the basement somewhere so that you didn’t heat the hell out of the main floor of your house while cooking something all day in the heat of summer. My previous house also had pocket doors that could close the kitchen off from the rest of the house if needed. By the time I lived there it had central air conditioning, but I am guessing it wasn’t available or super common when everything was built back then.

Nice find, 'Keay Cecco Architecture LTD' ought to have their licenses stripped for that abomination. Also wow that terrible drawing set, hopefully there was an actual construction set later although based on the results I wouldn't be surprised if the contractor was just winging it with a bottle of Mad Dog in hand at all times.

I feel like if "there's a mysterious sewage smell we can't find the location of" then the 100 year old toilet on old pipes might be the first place I'd consider, idk. Like, just shut the door on that bathroom and the smell would build just like the disgusting smell from the nappy bin in my bathroom (the nappies are not for me. Yet.).

At my work we had sewer gas smells in the basement. It turns out that the bathroom floor drain p-trap was drying up and letting the gas in.

We don't use the kids' bathtub that much (we bathe them in our bathtub) so I make sure to run it for a minute it two to fill the p-trap every couple months.

I've heard you can pour some cooking oil down the drain so it'll float on top of the water and keep it from evaporating. Never had a need to try it though.

Sirotan posted:Mineral oil. Please do not pour cooking oil down a drain ever. I've heard both. I actually had mineral oil typed in but changed it to something more people already have in the house. Neither is good to put in a drain but we're talking about an ounce down a drain that will basically never be used. Mineral oil at least has the advantage of not ever going rancid, but if you get a fatberg from a couple spoonfuls of olive oil every couple years then you probably have other problems with your pipes.

For most drains you should be able to get some form of plug that allows water and etc. to pass but function dry as well. Some of them have a rubber flap that pops back into place afterwards, others fill up like a normal trap but are spring-loaded so that when they're empty they snap shut.

I'm thinking a piece of foam rubber that floats. Put it on top of the drain and it'll seal the opening. Basement starts flooding or a kid runs a bath without paying attention, it floats away to let most of the water flow down the drain. Plastic ball on a seat works too. Point is, there's a range of options for all levels of effort.

House I grew up in had two, the regular main floor one we used for everything, and the canning kitchen in the cellar that only got used to keep stuff warm on holidays and fall canning/preserving season.

I’ve always just used mortar. I like that I can trowel it smooth over the top for a finished look.

You can get mineral oil for treating wood cutting boards/counters at Home Depot or almost any cooking supply store. It also doesn’t go rancid or attract pests. It’s commonly used in the drain trap of no flush urinals in Canada, so I can’t imagine it’s that bad for plumbing in the quantities used to fill a trap and remains liquid to low temps.

Yeah, mineral oil is fine. Cooking oil will gradually polymerize and gunk up your plumbing. It can be broken up with lye, but its best not to create the problem in the first place.

Hell, given the quantities we're talking about even motor oil would probably be fine. I agree that mineral oil is the correct choice if you're not too lazy to go to practically any store though. Actual vegetable oil tip though, get a lab bottle like chemists use to dispense di water. People try putting vegetable oil in other kinds of squeeze bottles then complain about it leaking past the threads. Lab bottles remain upright and pull from the bottom so it never encounters the threads. "Oh, but what about when the temperature changes and some gets pushed out?" Put a tiny breather hole near the top so the bottle can't pressurize unless you're covering it with your finger.

Oil traps in plumbing are already a thing - that's basically how waterless urinals work. I don't know exactly what sort of fluid they use, but I'd be surpried if it was much more than mineral oil with some deoderizer mixed in. https://www.waterless.com/how-do-waterless-urinals-work

Just remember you don't need to completely fill the trap with your oil of choice (just go buy some mineral oil). Fill it with water and then put a tiny bit of oil on top to seal it.
