funkatron3000 posted:The only real "fix" is just to slap another 2x10* over top of it, but that won't add much strength. Replacing the beam that's there would likely cause more damage than what we'd fix. Basically it just sucks and there's not much to do about it. I'm guessing you moved, then. Where do you go to find a 90 year old house in gsbo that's not a craftsman slanty shanty? I hope you fed that electrician to the cat.

Platystemon posted:Modern power supplies don’t use transformers and are pretty good at their jobs. Do we have new magic or is this just wrong? Isn't everything using a 60:1 transformer a rectifier and a 7805 or equivalent regulator to avoid burning 115-235v off as heat from a big resistor?

PainterofCrap posted:I have seen many, many homes (US) with copper drain lines, most installed between 1930-1975. Usually 1-1/2" to 3", tying in to a 4" cast waste line. They tend to last forever. I had copper drains, installed in the 60s or 70s, and they work great until they don't. Failure mode starts with a small pinhole leak which you can patch with non-vulcanized rubber tape. Very soon after the pinhole develops, it will start to open up along the bottom and will just unzip entirely with a little bit of pressure on the bottom of the pipe. If you own a house with copper drain pipes, my advice is to find some way to partially fund a PVC refit by selling the copper for scrap. Once one length of copper drain pipe starts to fail, that means the entire drain network is going to fail in short order. Best to replace it all when it's not an emergency.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Curtains on the right. I'm pretty sure the curtains are for privacy - there seems to be a set for the other window, behind the tub. There is an entry on the right, behind the curtain, but I'd assume it's a door. The stairs slide is baffling, but the tub setup isn't all that terrible, IF: this is a single occupant or a couple's apartment, and if the whole thing was built correctly. The chances of the latter are slim, however.

Looks better than I could do, but that floating wall looks pretty high. When you push on that top corner, does it want to rack? That could mess up your grouting and the caulk line where it meets the tub. Also, is that the final trim on it? The gap at the top really jumps out. I think the tiling looks fine, you knew what the spacers are for which is better than most bathroom DIY we laugh at here.

deoju posted:I hate these dumbass double hinged doors. You pull on them thinking they are normal, but then the more open they get the more the motion departs from a circular arch. Why do they even loving exist? So the doorman doesn't need to stretch as far or lean or into the doorway as much?
