It's terrible and lovely, but none of those look like supporting walls. Also I like the pictures highlighting the ugly wood which is completely normal for wood construction.

I remember a thread for household wiring with the title "don't burn your house down", but I'll be damned if I can find it. The wires in my A/C heat exchanger are in bad shape and I'd like to replace them. They are flexible stranded 12 AWG with a thick rubber insulation that I assume is for abrasion resistance due to the vibration from the fan and compressor. My local hardware store doesn't have anything like that, so I need to order it online, but I don't know what it is called. Can somebody give me a link to what I need?

Also, I ordered a cheap connector (butt, spade, ring, quick, etc.) assortment and wire nut assortment from Amazon and they are pretty crappy. Any suggestions for brand names of good quality connectors and wire nuts?

The presence of the iron next to the fireplace in no way means it gets used, that stuff's probably been sitting there untouched since the 80s and has a layer of dust on it thicker than the ash in the fireplace itself.

Oh come on now, the iron set probably more accurately indicates it's actually a gas fireplace. Because logic.

Apparently my MIL has been putting whole banana peels down the disposal in their new rental. It's not like "gently caress it, it's a rental!" she thinks a disposal is like a composter. I mean, it is now....or soon will be.

Yeah, they probably were planning on using some earth moving equipment to mellow out that slope so the stairs wouldn't need to be dangerously steep. Or metal/concrete stairs designed to last 50 years. Plus they'd want the stairs to look nice, stuff in parks is usually made to look a bit nice so it doesn't ruin the views. And if they are going to all that trouble might as well put in a ramp for accessibility, it's quite the drop so it would be a long ramp if they didn't want it to be too steep. And then things just got away from them.

Bees? What bees? ... I had to go visit 4 different sites at each end of the 2 runways of the YVR airfield yesterday, I was told site #2 had wasps living in 2 out of 3 of the enclosures I was to be working around/in so I was trying to push it off until their wildlife/pest removal people could get in there and deal with it. I was too efficient and got there way ahead of schedule only to find NO WASPS, I was actually slightly disappointed, and then not. gently caress wasps.

These types of power adapters have a pair of screw terminals. They are for permanent installs where the wiring is run by the installer and count have any length. That's why they also have the top and bottom tab (some broken off) with screw holes, so they can be 'mounted' to an outlet in place of the faceplate.

My worry is the one that's discoloured and seems to have no wiring hooked up. I'm guessing these are old transformer type adapters, and never shut off, even with no load, so that thing is a waste of money and a fire hazard.

This is very typical of CCTV installs, unfortunately. The correct way to do it is to get a 12/24v power supply with 8-16 outputs, then you only have the power supply to hard wire or throw a cord on.
