I planted a 5 foot tall cherry blossom tree in our backyard when we moved in and discovered a poo poo ton of broken concrete chunks. It appears that when the builders demolished the old structure (well before we moved in, we aren't the first owners) they just buried the foundation and built on top of it. I always wondered why it didn't have a basement.

We renovated 2 full bathrooms with white subway tile and when the tiler was doing the job she said "Oh wow, I would never use white tile in my own bathroom" and I wondered if we had made a big mistake. But 5 years later they still look good, you just have to clean like a reasonably tidy person and re-seal them every 4 or 5 years.

No, you strap a plastic hose to your ceiling and cap it, then turn the tap on. If there's a fire, the hose will melt and the water will put out the fire. That's how sprinkler systems work anyways, geez.

I honeymooned in glorious Nippon and the sink on top of the toilet thing is totally fine for washing your hands unless you are so fat / gangly / retarded that you couldn't straddle a toilet bowl with your feet slightly more than shoulder width apart. You could even AC Slater the loving thing if you were really lazy.

FCKGW posted:Some guy in Stupid/Small Questions megathread asked about how to hang pictures in his apartment. He believed it was drywall directly on top of a concrete wall. The walls that separate the two units in our duplex are drywall against the firewall, which I assume is Durok or some other kind of concrete board. Can't hang anything heavy on the north side of our home unless you want to use concrete hangers.

Geomancing posted:Give it six months or one good windstorm and it won't. IIRC, the pictures originally come from a Vancouver motorcycling forum or something like that. I'd be less worried about the windstorms than I would be about the 175 days of rain we get every year and the swampy marshland he built the thing on top of.

kid sinister posted:On second thought, I'd better link to this picture instead of just posting it here... Anyway, a demo guy on Reddit found needles and porn in a wall cavity. The builders must have had a great time. The needle thing is pretty standard junkie behaviour. Who gives a poo poo where you dump your rig after shooting that sweet, sweet H? City electrics workers here in Vancouver's downtown east side have to wear puncture proof gloves when they open panels on streetlights and poo poo like that because they are invariably filled to the loving brim with spikes.

Effective-Disorder posted:Never pay your 'contractor' in beer up front. This worked out pretty well for me when my little brother punched two holes in a wall during a house party when my parents were out of town and I had to find a drywall guy on 3 days notice. Jokingly mentioned it at work and one of the guys said his friend would do it for a flat of beer as long as at least 6 were cold when he got there. The parents only found out because my dad smelled fresh paint when he walked in the door and knew something had happened.

Baronjutter posted:Thats a pretty light vehicle, it's probably no worse than a car driving by. It's not like it's a freight train or a even a big heavy metro. It's like a couple minivans on a monorail track. Just a half-dozen minivans on a monorail track driving through your neighbour's apartment, built to the most stringent second-world noise and safety standards, every 5-10 minutes. Sounds great. I'm sure after the first couple weeks you'd hardly notice it any more.

Ignoranus posted:Can you point me toward context for this? Keeping the story short (TOO LATE), a TCC goon named SunburntAphid claimed to be slamming an unbelievable amount of tar heroin into her atrophying muscles every day. Some goons were trying to convince her to go to rehab to save her life but HondaRider, the TCC mod at the time, basically told everyone to shut up because rehab doesn't work and she should try LSD instead. HR was demodded and fled to something sensitive, and "my nigga have u tried LSD" became a catchphrase.

Baronjutter posted:2 parking spots per tenant seems insane. A huge part of the "housing crisis" is car-centric urban planning forcing the cost of construction up by requiring massive amounts of parking. A typical underground parking spot costs 30-60k, that's a huge savings to eliminate. In a lot of cities they're realizing strict parking minimums are working against both affordability and good urban planing and reducing or outright eliminating them, and there's a general consensus in urban planning today that parking minimums are a bad idea that have caused a lot of problems. Obviously that only works in places where you can live without a car, or just one car between a family. But it's actually a lot cheaper and more efficient to provide good transit and services within walking/bike distance than to force everyone to build massive parking structures and then massive highways to connect with shopping and workplaces with equally massive parking. It's the most land and resource intensive way to get around imaginable. I was going to write almost exactly this earlier today, but awful app ate my post. No offense to MeCHO or the yanks, but the  attitude that everyone needs two cars + transit is for poors is a big factor in what's making this planet unliveable. I understand the distance issues in Canada and the states, but if you're living in a population centre that has density problems you should be putting resources towards mass transit and accessibility, not filling perfectly liveable space with loving freeways that are traffic jammed 24/7.

My friend is getting kicked out of his rent controlled apartment and is looking to buy a place in Vancouver (lol). This is the best thing he could find in his budget. (clicky for more) $335k for a 450 sq. ft. bachelor + 140 sq. ft. rape dungeon with a trap door you couldn't even fit a mattress down. It rubs the lotion on it's skin. It does this when it's told.

Facebook Aunt posted:In this thing? Have a look at picture #9, there are pipes running through the loft. Even if the diagram says four feet you're probably not going to want to sleep up there. And the trap door is too small to fit a real mattress through, so I hope you either like sleeping in your living room or on a blowup.
