A button sounds dangerous and too easy to activate. Keep a glock up there. Shoot the window out as needed.

I think there was a lovecraft story about a house with weird, nonsensical angular bulges. Oh, right, The Dreams in the Witch House. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dreams_in_the_Witch_House quote:Walter Gilman, a student of mathematics and folklore at Miskatonic University, rents an attic room in the "Witch House," a house in Arkham that is rumored to be cursed. The first part of the story is an account of the house's history. The house once harboured Keziah Mason, an accused witch who disappeared mysteriously from a Salem jail in 1692. Gilman discovers that, for the better part of two centuries, many of the attic's occupants have died prematurely. The dimensions of Gilman's attic room are unusual and seem to conform to a kind of unearthly geometry. Gilman theorizes that the structure can enable travel from one plane or dimension to another. Stay safe, Mcmansion ghost.

Credit where it's due, that looks like a very decent tiling job considering the geometry.

I think her point is that the work is quality even if the subject matter is dated and trite. Just look at the point where the trellis on the wall over the mirror lines up with the reflection of the trellis on the opposing wall reflected in the mirror. That's an attention to detail you never see in this crap.

As I was leaving the neighborhood this morning, I saw a lady cutting tile on a wet saw in her driveway. She was wearing shorts/flip flops, didn't have eye protection, and had her long hair dangling over the cutting field of the saw as she was cutting a tile. Looked like a good way to get scalped I didn't see ear protection (might have had plugs) but with how loud and terrible those things are I don't know how you could stand being around them without ear pro unless you were literally deaf.

I've seen actual commercial kits that look just like that, intended to allow for an unusual combination of things in one box where finding a correctly matching panel may be impossible. That said a standard light switch with two blank spaces does seem like a stupid place to use them.

That might be the correct set of parts, but leaving out a screw, using the wrong color switch, and not lining things up makes it look far worse than it should.

Had to replace a spotlight yesterday and thought it'd be an easy 1 for 1, until I got a good look at what the existing one was sitting on. Yes, that's five (5) consecutive adapters taking a 2" pipe all the way down to 1/2". As I was taking out the old fixture (not pictured) the hot wire came out of the splice, all of which are extremely conveniently located underneath the Matryoshka tower. Decided this was too much to be doing in the rain so I left it for today. Got there today, did some digging around the glue stack pipe, and, well.  HEY IF THE WHOLE THING IS A SLEEVED PIECE ANYWAY WHY THE gently caress NOT JUST A 1/2" PVC? (The wire was coming out of a piece of 1/2" before going into this sleeve so I just extended that proper into a box with new support. Much less glue and just 1 adapter needed.)

See, there's the obvious "his and hers" joke, but I like to think that instead they have an emergency backup toilet because they clog the normal one so often.

I mean, it's hard to argue that it's not getting that considering we just watched it on the internet. We just went to a local bar the other day where my wife informed me they have the same toilet setup.

I mean if you have seen higher quality bathroom murals please feel free to share them, 90% of indoor murals I have ever seen fall between 'painfully bad' and 'seriously unsettling' - I was in a house in Florida once where they had tried to paint fun characters in the kids room and it was like an It cameo in there. If you told me someone was putting a garden mural in their bathroom, that is about as good as I think you could get.

I read a comic a while back with a secret society that creates superheroes using some serum that only works right if there are huge amounts of stress hormones or whatever they are in the person's system. So they pump candidates full of LSD and lock them in a room with weird creepy murals designed to cause the mother of all bad trips. That's basically what I'm imagining here.

In my experience you don't actually have a single mural painter. You get an artist to come in and design the piece and sketch it out on the wall, then you get a group of your friends/volunteers to come in and fill it in.

So, some friends of mine recently bought a house. Most of the house is in decent shape, the porch on the rear of the house needs a new roof. But when you go into the back hallway....   What's this? Oh, that's just the entrance to the basement.  There's even a handy chain to keep the door up! Worth noting that this is just a gaping open hole in the hallway when open.
