There is a corner in my basement with a coax outlet on each wall. When I moved in there was a 6 inch coax cable running from one to the other. The loving walls are 80s wood panels that can be removed and rehung. Installing two outlets had to have been more effort than popping the panels off and running the cable behind them. I'd post a picture but I've installed some bookshelves in that otherwise worthless corner so they're hidden.

In my upstairs, I have a coax cable just laying on the floor, running along the wall, across the stairs, along another wall, and then behind a wood panel. No idea where it goes from there, that wall is an external wall, I don't see any cable on the outside of the house, maybe it goes down behind a wall in the kitchen and into the basement? I wanna get rid of this bundled up cable I'm never going to use, but I don't want to just cut it and have a mysterious cable inside a wall to deal with in the future. Maybe in the spring... The previous owner did all this to get a coax cable into that room, but there is only one electrical outlet. Priorities.

One electrical outlet is all you need when you can daisy chain power strips and extension cords. *Not that I recommend that, but I am sure it is probably what happened.

DrBouvenstein posted:Love that the cable installers in the 80's/90's just drilled nice, 1/2" holes DIRECTLY through the hardwood floors in every room. I wish it was only 1/2", there's a hole in my living room that is 1 1/4". It needs a huge stopper in place to keep the double cables from falling back through.

It seems like the next step for McMansion/tract builders is to ditch whatever architects/designers they have and trying to enter "3 Bed craftsman ranch" into ChatGDP or whatever.

It looks even better once the pyrex casings are installed. It gives a homey portal to hell sort of vibe.

I believe that has been posted before. I maintain that the only thing crappy about it is they didn't continue the trim around the top part.

Yeah I really like that. At worst it's a kinda strange interior design quirk in a room that very few people will probably see up in a kid's room or something. At best it's a joyful expression of whimsey that you can always take down when you go to sell the place. You can just imagine how it came to be also as they were holding the offcut piece of door.

I assume they were asking about this one: https://twitter.com/jnyboy/status/1720256034017546595 and the only explanation I can think of is "walking around a house that's actively on fire", possibly as part of firefighting training.

canyoneer posted:We sent a crew to do a post construction whole house clean for an occupied home. This is sorta odd, especially with the timing since the home was finished 6 months ago. A housemate of mine some years ago had an even better story. There was a guy who lived alone, was morbidly obese, and didn't have many friends. So when he died, nobody realised for a few weeks. By this time the house was full of dead flies, and the body itself had basically liquefied. The flooring and the base of the drywall were saturated with putrescent human fat. My housemate said it was the fastest reno he and that crew had ever done, and their boss got them all commemorative T shirts afterwards.

We had an elderly cat hoarder in our town. Was unable to keep up, so she apparently didn't bother with cat boxes or litter disposal for years. One bedroom had like six inches of cat litter cover. They only found out how severe a problem it was when she was placed in a nursing home. They took over 90-living cats out of a slab rancher...and found an additional 40 that had expired, some inside the walls. They sent in a crew to try and sanitize the property, but the urine was so deep into the framing they wound up demolishing the structure.

...and the floor sheathing. And the floor joists. And the sillplates... They gutted the house of all floor coverings, flood-cut the drywall 2-feet up, removed whole walls of drywall to, uh, clean out the biomass that was there (mummified, mostly) and it still reeked of ammonia; they had to wear P100s at least, which didn't really stop the smell. When the wind blew, you could smell it in the street.

I had a similar project with a fully flooded underground basement, where at least 40 cats lived in squalor. We arrived on day 4-5 and the water was still standing, up to the entry door on the 1st floor. We were able to pump out water, but the decomposing biomass was something like 40" deep. Couldn't pay anyone any amount of money to shovel it out. Thanks for reminding me of that 🤦
