A lot of the lines on that look jacked up because the picture has been resized significantly. Talking about the roof lines and siding, etc.

There was a soffit strip vent barely visible in one of the photos. Its a resized photo so it loses some clarity and is hard to see, but it is there.

Most of the housing in my area was built around 1880-1890 and no one is in any rush to tear it down, 200 years wouldn't be unreasonable

cool so if a cable goes bad or a new hdmi format comes out or you add a device you get to rip it all out and redo drywall. Good idea.

Ashcans posted:Are you saying that that could be a load-bearing flood? Downtown Milwaukee WI is right next to Lake Michigan, and sections were previously swamp land way back in the early 1800s, and the water table is very very high in the whole area. A number of historic multistory buildings have original, submerged wood foundations that are still in great shape because they have never been exposed to air. One building had settling problems and it was determined that the water table in that area had dropped due to a deep tunnel storm water system that was installed a few hundred feet under it. The tunnel leaks in a few places so the water table dropped below the building and the wood foundation started drying out and rotting. I think they actually have to pump water INTO the foundation now to keep it stable. A lot of words to say that it is a valid building technique, when done intentionally

Neutrino posted:Most of the blame for decaying pilings is BS cooked up by building owners to get the government to pay for problems that have been around for a long time. This article is from 1954, about 30 years before the Deep Tunnel was built. The head building inspector supposedly did a study of the same problem in downtown back in the 1930's. The short story is that the water table fluctuates wildly - something that architects didn't realize back in the 1800s and early 1900's when they were using timber pilings. Am I correct that the MMSD prevailed in the lawsuit about that? I couldn't remember.

I can get a pic of it if there is interest, but as a motorcycle security effort I bought a bag of cement, a length of heavy duty chain, an iron shackle, and a big Tupperware container. I made a giant fuckoff cement block with integral chain connected to the shackle, which sticks above the cement. I have another bike specific chain that I connect to the bike and secure through the shackle. I estimate the block at around 400lbs... If someone steals my motorcycle with this setup they obviously deserve it.... It's not even a fancy bike, but people are assholes.

Dunno, it's in storage with the bike. I'll get a pic and measurements over the weekend I think.

I wouldn't try it... the price of failure is kinda steep. I would be willing to use an electric tool to set the screws most of the way, but I would only snug them by hand.

Ultimate Shrek Fan posted:Do you use drills/impact drivers often? With a little bit of practice it's very easy to gently drive in a screw by not using the full power of the drill. Familiar with the settings but not a frequent enough user to trust it. Maybe if I had a small handheld, the only thing I got is a dewalt drill and it wouldn't think twice about tearing apart some ikea furniture. The torque settings are a bit mysterious but you can eventually dial it in...

A friend of mine inherited a house that was built prior to grounded outlets being a thing. She has asked me if I can update a select number of outlets to be three prong. Is there a guideline for how to do this properly? I would assume that simply swapping two prong outlets to three prong is dumb, but I also don't want to stumble into rewiring a whole house either.

Door in the middle of the stairs isn't locked on the photographers side, and the little sign says Not An Exit. On the other side on the wall is another sign that indicates down goes to the basement and says not an exit. Once upon a time they probably had a fire drill and a bunch of people ended up in the basement perhaps?
