Boat posted:I think the door may be level and the wall's what's at an angle...? poo poo, my dad's entire house is like that, it's an 18th century french farmhouse, nothing is straight level or parallel. About once a year he'll rip something off, look at the rural horror beneath and carefully replace it without doing anything. The thing is, the place is made of oak, with either flint rubble walls or wattle and daub in between, there is only so much impact you can make without having to do something very expensive and time consuming. For instance, the wall between the living room and the large bedroom is eight feet thick, it has a weird lean, but it probably weighs as much as a modern house, so gently caress it.

Blistex posted:yaffle: is the wall some manner of stone/masonry or just crazily erected wood? It's a flint and lime mortar rubble wall, having built rubble walls we are pretty sure there are no secret rooms or anything. The wall is at the center of the house and pretty much everything hangs off it in some way, we fear to do anything to it at all.

I've inherited my dad's collection, which included his dad's, and grandfathers. They all horded fasteners of all kinds, apparently my grandfather once dismantled a piano and kept every screw, so may flatheads.

Facebook Aunt posted:What is the point of protesting when there is no way to fix this? They can't put windows in later. There isn't any spare space to expand or change anything. An entire pod has a single point of emergency egress and there is no way to fix that. Even if you tear out all the interior walls and redesign the space it is still a cube with the minimum possible surface area. Secretly build it so the centre is removable, making a somewhat livable hollow cube.
