Bees on Wheat posted:We had a hot tub at my old place that heated to around body temps at the best of times and nobody got sick.. how did over 100 people get sick from just walking past one..? I'm guessing that since it was just a display they didn't treat the water, but had the tub running and heating right into Legionella's ideal growth range.

Is that a thing that can happen? I would be hard-pressed to think of a situation where a roof leak would just resolve itself, but I’m not a roofer or inspector so I dunno.

Blue Footed Booby posted:When it's repaired, but the stains from the leak are left alone. I would hope that an inspector would see evidence of the repair or that the previous owner would have record of a repair occurring, though. D-LINK posted:You can have an ice dam situation where water from your gutters freezes and creeps up underneath the edge of your shingles (or whatever roofing material) during a particularly bad Winter storm followed by a prolonged cold snap, and then rarely or almost never have it happen again. Most modern buildings or roofs installed in temperate climates within the last couple of decades will have protection that looks similar to Tyvek run a few feet up the sub-roof under the singles Gotcha, so it’s not necessarily a failure of the roof, just extraordinary conditions that don’t occur very often.

I am glad that they posted 6 photos of a dude fishing instead of more of the house Also if those are recent photos, that’s the creek with the snowmelt at or near it’s highest and we’re in a drought that we’ll probably never escape, so I wouldn’t be too concerned. Of course, with all of the wildfires the risk of flash floods from the few major storms does increase…

That’s fair, but it’s still really funny that the guy decided that he should get a photo shoot with him and his dog on the creek while the photographer was there and that they made it into the listing. Trying to sell the lifestyle I guess.

Splode posted:Tbh I am always shocked by how flimsy American houses seem. Here is a decent-ish explanation of why US homes are built the way they are, but the TL;DW of it is that the post-war boom meant a lot of people wanted housing very quickly and it was a cheap and easy way of building out entire subdivisions in record time. Pick a couple of prints (optional, there are plenty where all the houses are the exact same), throw up a few dozen houses, and sell the American Dream to all of those people flush with cash. https://youtu.be/wpxLLCdW_Gc

DR FRASIER KRANG posted:That even happens now on a small scale. Oh for sure, and it still happens in the suburbs too. The new-build house my dad bought in 2003ish is in a subdivision with maybe 5 or 6 floorplans, with some minor cosmetic variations on the outside. It has to be a lot cheaper than trying to make everything unique.

After two winters of living in a place with radiator heating, I found out that you can just throw a wool blanket over it and it keeps the room warm without cooking you to death.

I don’t know what any of the Swedish means so I’m going to assume it says “great hack, very cool” and continue hoping that my radiator blanket doesn’t burn the house down.

binge crotching posted:Had this crappy sink at the hotel I was just at. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it's about 1.5 cm between the water and the sink basin. It was easier to go into the shower to wash my hands instead of using that thing. This is one of my biggest pet peeves when I run across it at a hotel. You really couldn’t be assed to make sure the sink will work like a sink with the hardware you want before buying 160 of them?

SyNack Sassimov posted:Nah it blows. The only thing that helps is getting the plugs with little holes at the end allowing the wires to poke through the end of it, so you don't have to get wires coming out of a round cable to all end at the same plane when laid and cut flat. But even then, compared to punching down on a panel it's just fiddly and stupid, especially when you're actually trying to do it to Cat6 spec where only 1/2" of the wires are exposed and the cable jacket is pushed into the plug properly. Which most people don't do of course, leading to this kind of idiocy: That photo is causing me physical pain e: also modern routers with things like MU-MIMO alleviate a lot of the issues mentioned with WiFi. If you have the ability and time to wire a house for Ethernet by all means go for it but the flexibility wireless provides is well worth the occasional hiccup imo.
