Yeah. That’s worse than a ladder in every way. With the space they have to work with, I think they could fit alternating tread stairs.

Should have been a tiny spiral staircase, as seen in genuine medieval architecture.

Cows trapped in a house for a month. https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/bv24co/this_big_guy_and_three_of_his_friends_got_into/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x   quote:1.house is on my aunt's property. We currently live in Washington and were planning to move over at the end of the year . We assumed she was going down every now and again to check on house, guess she wasn't. Cattle guy has a lot of acreage and looked for his cows, even filed a report for stolen cattle. He looked in our shed but not in the house because he thought someone was living there. Apparently cows can eat drywall? Imagine trying to clean this up. They're gonna have to tear it down to the studs and sanitize/seal everything like they did with those houses in New Orleans after Katrina.

I mean you can eat drywall too if you’re starving and have no other options. It’s not going to work out that great.

Just moved house and the buyer insisted on having an electrical cert that we pay for, this actually came out better than expected but even so the panel needed replacing with a new "fire resistant" unit because codes have changed, not my problem anymore though suckas..... .... And of course when I look at the one in the new place I see a mix of modern switched fuses and weird old switched but unlabelled circuits on a separate board so now I'm the idiot who needs to get a cert and probably fork out for a whole new unit  Zereth posted:Hey look what I found What in the gently caress lmao.

I bet every rear end in a top hat that designs this poo poo has a completely functional staircase in their own home. Your weirdo spine case looks great, now let's see you get a dresser up there.

"Designed" homes are some horrible poo poo. They're built to photograph and nothing else. Speaking of, while idly contemplating a transoceanic move, decided to check out the real estate market in Prague, and there's some seriously  worthy "design" poo poo there.Example: Christie's IRE posted:This non-residential unit on the ground and underground floor of a formerly Renaissance house from the 16th century with Baroque modifications, 400 m from Malostranské Square and close to Kampa. Approved usage as a club facility and currently used for short term letting. Hope you really love living in a non-apartment apartment where the only windows are in the entry hall and the bathroom.    Or, if you'd prefer something higher up,  See those spiral stairs? Yeah that's an indoor balcony. Because... Well, because gently caress you, basically. It counts as extra m^2 so instead of opening up the living room, we'll put a balcony there.  E: I just noticed the support/column arrangement of said balcony and I think we're going a bit non-euclidean there. There's also some very ah... creative 2-bedroom arrangements.  Cursed stairs AND a "bed" sitting inches away from a big ol' drop. Hope you don't get up too quickly, either. Those beams look about right to become suddenly and painfully friendly with your head. This particular apartment has 3 rooms. No, I do not know why they decided to do whatever that is. And finally, the perfect hangover bathroom:  See if you can find the flush buttons for the toilet. Note: aside from the basement not-apartment (a steal for only 265K to not-live in), these all start above the 500K Euro mark and are listed by Christie's, so it's not like I was trawling the very bottom to find this poo poo.

Something similar happened to the family ranch house (as in house on a cattle ranch) while it was under construction - it was raining and cows broke through the construction fence and took cover in the house, which was slab, roof, studs, and Tyvek at that point. They only stayed overnight and were herded out the next morning. Slab was fine after being hosed off, and there was no other damage, so it just turned into a funny story. Too bad there weren't pics.

We live in a midcentury modern townhouse that was definitely "designed" and it's a thousand times more practical than the 1900s townhouse we lived in before. The rooms are human-sized, there's storage space everywhere, and tons and tons of light because all the windows are floor-to-ceiling.

The story was it saw itself in a sliding door and attacked, smashing the glass and getting blood everywhere before it ran off. I've handled a few of those! Sometimes, they don't see the glass (slider or large picture window) and try to jump through the opening. Then they bleed all over the place. One guy thought it was a home invasion, crept down the stairs with a .30-06 ready to rock but checked fire when he saw Bambi beating itself against the wall.

Say I'm pretty handy and want to tackle building myself a tiny house. I want to know everything I need to know to not gently caress it up and end up in this thread. Where should I start reading? I tried the local building codes and they read like incomprehensible lawyerese. Does anyone translate these into normal English or anything?

Where should I start reading? I tried the local building codes and they read like incomprehensible lawyerese. Does anyone translate these into normal English or anything? Depends what exactly the "everything" you want to know is. Some of it you can read a book on (like how to hand a door or fit trim), some of it you need a degree for (like structural engineering), some you need several years of apprenticing and qualifications (like electrics) and some of it you just need to do for a few years to get good at it (like plastering). All of it requires some practice to do a decent job. Firstly don't trust what I or anyone in here says as gospel but.. 1. Figure out what you *want* to build. This is what architects do, though you could do it yourself. You want to figure out dimensions and positions of things. Depending on how your location works this is also where you need to get planning permission. 2. Figure out how you *have* to build to get the things you want from #1. This is where the building regs come in, and you're gonna wanna structural engineer at this point. Some of the fine details will be up to you (like where you want to put a window) but some of the details will be constrained by externalities like physics as indicated by your structural engineer (e.g. how certain walls need to be built or how roofs are supported), or the law as indicated by the building codes and your building inspector (e.g. how far apart the balusters in your railings are, or what type of windows you can put in based on fire safety). 3. Figure out *how* to do the things determined in #2. This is where you need to figure out (either through research or trial) which aspects you feel you can do yourself within spec, which you want to farm out for safety or difficulty or convenience (like digging trenches or laying bricks) and how much you want to farm out due to high skill required (like plastering walls or laying bricks). You can do some book learnin' and youtubin' at this point. If you gently caress up #1 you wind up with a house that's a pain to live in. If you gently caress up #2 you wind up dead or broke or in prison. If you gently caress up #3 you wind up in this thread or on reddit where some trade is moaning about what a crap job the DIY owner did. It may be a small house but this is not a small project, it's going to be very complicated and as much mental effort as it is physical.

I have several thousand questions but I'm just going to jump onto this point for a startJaded Burnout posted:It may be a small house but this is not a small project, it's going to be very complicated and as much mental effort as it is physical. It would be my biggest project yet, for sure. I'm hoping to at least napkin math out time and costs before I actually do it. For starters, I know to dimension things to take advantage of the lengths lumber is sold in for maximum efficiency, and I'm hoping to keep it simple and cubic with no bullshit. Pretty much a 16x24 box with a single slanted roof on it, angled such as the local snow load and etc dictate, probably facing South so the place isn't an oven in the summer. I know I can do poo poo like put all the plumbing along one edge of the building to greatly simplify the work. Certain things I'm fine with just paying somebody to figure out and handle, such as the foundation. And drywall, Jesus Christ gently caress doing drywall. Are there any other efficiency tricks like that I should build into the plan? Am I even chasing the right pennies here?

I would suggest reading a site like this thoroughly https://thetinylife.com/ryans-tiny-house/tiny-house-building-checklist/ and a couple others like it. See if it’s really something you want to do. The skills required to build small are the same needed to build a regular house. Do you have those skills?
