"Tiny Trains"

Trains, although I will have a lot of coastal and river area which may contain fish.





This is what's directly above my absolutely hosed construction. I had to get this height change perfect from where my track will go from having roadbed to being flat on the plywood.


I also built the whole room, which was a series of 45 degree angles snaking through an unfinished basement with a very uneven floor and a lot of other obstructions. I had never done it before in my life but my electrician friend said it was some of the best framing he's seen, so I'm happy to hear that.



I have also never framed or hung a door in my life, and I decided to custom built from scratch a weird 3' x 6' door to fit the unique opening. It worked out pretty good, although the door its self isn't built the best. The interior is very thin door skin, and the framing around it isn't a proper frame, it's a sandwich nailed to both sides because I lacked the tools and skills to do it properly with like a groove for the plywood to sit inside.

They could have bought a prefab stair and not understand anything.

Evidence: Lookit the lovely paint job. Even if you flip the stair you're stuck with that drippy paint. Unless paint job was part of the troll and you intend to sand and repaint when you install it for real, but that's getting into a lot of effort for a funny picture.

It does look unfinished, but don't you usually install the sink over the counter surface? I've never done it, but my sink certainly looks like the lip of the sink goes over the edge of the counter top.

The sink looks like it is being used, and if the pipes are all connected removing the sink to install the countertop would be a hassle.

Undermount sinks are 100% a thing, but it's more time consuming and expensive because you need to glue it from underneath and let it cure. Lets stuff get swept directly from the counter to the sink though.

I'm betting they just glued a sheet of laminate over an old counter that happened to have an undermount sink with the intention of cutting the hole out with a flush cut router bit.

Fellers built a couple of houses under the belief that the road was as marked in yellow.

The road is not as marked in yellow.

quote:

I surveyed South guy's property. From what I've seen, these GIS lines are pretty on. He's been there for 32 years and always thought he owned up to the road. Somehow he caught wind that there was a problem with the lines and got East guy to sell him the triangle between his old north line and the actual road.

West guy's house is almost entirely on the wrong lot, and his actual lot is vacant (except for where part of his house and utilities are over the line).

North guy's house is part on his lot, part on East guy's lot, and even encroaching on lot to Northeast. Pretty sure his septic tank is all on Northeast guy's lot.

My client, South guy, is in the clear. Those other guys can call 1-800-SOMEBODY ELSE.

Needs a Gamecube and Xbox house as neighbours.

Did the PS2 actually come with those blue triangle faux-stands? Fun thing, the logo is built to rotate so it can be the right way up whether horizontal or vertical. I miss that era of practical console design.

I think that it was always an accessory that had to be purchased separately. Maybe limited SKUs did come with them though.

Sony also sold a horizontal “stand”, which served no purpose but to add a blue accent to the front, and to partially block the cooling vents on later revisions of the console.

I believe the solution here would be the relevant office redraws the borders and the guys who loses acreage gets paid a suitable amount, or possibly redraw them in funky ways so everyone's house is on their property and everyone retains the same acreage, albeit in funny shapes.

Got poo poo for this over several weeks until I found out what was wrong and all hell went loose.

Was correcting the heights for the floor drains in a giant bathhouse( had a tolerance of 5 to 15mm🤯 depending on which floor drain), which was being placed over a period of a couple of weeks. To make it faster, we told the workers to use the previous set drains to ruffly place them on the correct height with a laser, as we couldn't be there all the time( more than 140 floor drains)

But every other day I would notice that the height were off by a cm or so and had to tell them to change them again and again.

I tried failsearching what could have gone wrong, from prismconstants, to recalibration of the robot and even got my seniorcoworker to check my work, which again had moved.

We went through all the floor drains with both our robots over 2 days and some were several cm off, although the same height between the robots.

When we were done and he went inside to discuss with the management, I stood there heart-broken staring out over it all.

It was then I noticed that the bed of foam concrete(insulation concrete),that the floor drains and rhubarbmats were on had a slite curv to it. I went over the bed and took the data in for a controll , against my previous extra measurements from when i was in the area at the start( which my colleague thought was foolish, as that wasn't part of our workasignmemt) and found that the ground* had given way with almost 9cm on the worst parts. *(the building is build on clay, with concrete pillars for support, but the clay was moving faster than anticipated. that togther with the concrete team waiting to pour, as they wanted a greater area at the same time put extra strain on the clay)

The panic that followed was nothing to laugh about and it had a lot of follow up effects, like cracks and wrong flow directions in the pipes, but atleast we found the "error".

Several of those who had looked cold at me before, came and congratulated me for finding out the problem, but it still hurts to think about.

The term apparently is 'Adverse Possession' and if its been like that for 10 years, it's kinda a 'tough poo poo' moment for the guy whose dirt they stole. The nice way would be to go through the redrawing process and come up with some number that makes everyone equally unhappy, but if they wanna make a fight of it, the law in most states says they get to stay and the land they used is now theirs.

I think the way it was stated, though, was that the only person who was noted as having been there 30 years was the one whose house was on his own lot anyhow. He thought he owned a little more than he actually does, but that’s just driveway.

I don’t think we know how long the other two houses have been there.
