(deep, calming breaths) this morning i discovered that the hand-cut fabric square "stair treads" leading to my marital bed were adhered on with that purple glue stick we used to use in school. my cat found a running end and tore the weft of the fabric out such that there's an odd pattern on one step, which is actually slippier than the stairs themselves.

Last summer I found about 200ft of convoluted joins of pvc in the attic for our water in the kitchen and a bathroom. None of them had any sort of sealant to hold them together/make them water tight, with nails in beams for them to rest on/guide them. Ask me about belly crawling through insulation in a 120 degree attic for over a week as I slowly discovered that this join was missing something to hold it together x50. We ended up getting a hotel room so I could finally wash a mm thick coating of grime and insulation from my body. gently caress previous owners with a hammer. I'm terrified of what's in our walls, but I'm not going under the house to check that for leaks. Ignorance is bliss.

50 by 20 foot deck, put together with a shotgun blast of rando fasteners and improper footings and never sealed. demolition took longer than the deck rebuild.

My grandmother had a house built in the 70s I think. My dad was a house painter and pretty handy, and made the garage and basement and a loft into a living area for us. Meanwhile, his less handy sister did some stuff herself in the actual house where she and my grandmother lived. We never figured out what exactly she did to lead to this, but when we bought the whole house, and started renovations, we took out a window to put in a sliding patio door. And when we took the sheet rock off, we found live wires just.. in there. I believe they were capped, but there was nothing they could be for, no reason for them to be up there. No fixture was up there. It was definitely something she did, and not the builders. I think she had put up a ceiling fan in that room, but I have no idea what that would have to do with the wall nearby. It was up near the top of the wall, above the window. Maybe she was trying to get a wire to the fan, and it wasn't long enough, so she.. decided to do it a different way, and just left them there?

The wiring in our place seems to have been done 50 years ago while drunk and with a gleeful disregard for fastening anything down properly. The kitchen flooring appears to have been installed with a nail gun. A bedroom light fixture came down on its own last week. Me and the missus are so glad it's a rental, hope to buy our own disaster zone in a couple of years and slide into debt fixing the previous idiot's mistakes!

once lived in a house where the previous owner had redone the shower. the cement he used on the tiles was not waterproof and the entire thing collapsed in on itself after about a month of me living there. he also did the electrics. Not being an electrician, I don't really understand the nature of what he did wrong there(other than the fact that turning the stove on probably shouldn't cause all the upstairs lights to go out) but the electrician we hired always looked shell-shocked on his way out and ended up having to redo almost the entire wiring for the house.

So there's a certain girth there needs to be on hoses for pouring electrons down them. Especially if they eventually go to a space heater or whatever. I reckon if you want to pour them from one hose into a thinner one you need a funnel or something or else you just got another space heater.

Ghostlight posted:the fraggles aren't communists because as the show explicitly details they do not owns the means of production. when the dozers become lazy and do not build it is an existential crisis for the fraggles because they literally cannot make their own food - they are wholly reliant on their symbiotic relationship between themselves and the welfare state (dozers), making it clear that they are, at best, a captive underclass serving the needs of the capricious meritocracy.

In context, we were talking about someone who wrecked their taste buds by smoking and eating lovely processed foods, and I was saying that you can get better from it by deliberately blanding out for a while.
