Never even thought about it before, but given that you can get faucets which attach via hoses, you could hook them up any old where.  Have the hot water tap on the wall in front of you and the cold water inside the basin itself. Why the gently caress not.

Y’all still think those involve water? The left one is the circuit breaker for the kitchen microwave. The right one controls the ceiling fan in the guest bedroom. The sink drain plug opens the garage door.

It's been there for a while too if the soot and creosote buildup is anything to go by.

Warmachine posted:That breaker panel was the biggest yikes moment, but I'm glad they included the voice over for "and the furnace is doing it's job." In ~ 2010, I had a gaming PC with dual watercooled overclocked 8800GTX GPUs and an Opteron processor. It drew a staggering amount of power when booting up a game, but at the desktop it idled fine. The apartment I was in put like 14 outlets on one breaker (which would trip occasionally), so most power draw from plug-in devices went through that circuit. One night, I started Oblivion, and the lights flickered and I heard a "bzzft" noise from elsewhere. The PC shut down, but the lights kept flickering. I went to the breaker box, and the offending circuit was spraying sparks out the front of the breaker switch. I smacked it with a broom handle until it shut off, and called emergency maintenance. Now, mind you, the complex just had a unit burn to the ground like two weeks prior. Maintenance guy comes out, flips the breaker back on, gets showered in sparks, goes "eh you've got too many things plugged in", shuts it off, and leaves. Like, maybe I did -- but, "spraying sparks out the front" is not a failure mode of a breaker I'm ok with! It took them like a week to replace it, and I just took it because I was young and didn't know I had rights

I guess you must have lived in my unit back in 2010. Good news is the breaker panel doesn't spray sparks anymore. Bad news is that the wiring diagram is still nonsense and my bedroom on the 2nd floor west wall is connecting to a basement living room on the southeast wall, and so the breaker trips when someone decides they want to run a vacuum on that circuit. I have no idea about intermediate connections, but I suspect they are just as goofy.

there are two homes in my neighborhood that have intentionally hosed up brickwork like that. I guess it's supposed to look whimsical or something?

It's like they started out amateur, but not *completely* lovely - there's at least an attempt to line up the bricks - and then got drunk.

You see the mason's lines in the brick laying picture? The bricks are more or less following them. I suppose as long as it's a decorative wall and not a very tall one the irregular brick mosaic will work just fine.

It's a single-wythe wall and all the randomly-turned bricks fall within the mason's lines, so I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a course of decorative wild bond in a nonstructural wall Whether it looks good is up for debate but they're doing it deliberately for the effect

Yeah, it happens with abandoned railroad and trolley lines. Where I work, a lot of buildings were quickly built during WW2, and concrete foundations were poured right over sections of industrial railroad sidings.

Yep. Some cities will do that, with abandoned rail lines, rather than shell out to have the rails removed properly.

Made for a mess for the contractor when some of the buildings were demolished a few years ago. They did something like that in Downtown Dallas. Noticed it when they were doing a thorough repaving of Ervay Street - they dug asphalt down about a foot to the original brick, which also still had streetcar rails embedded in it. I was fascinated that it was still under there - and that the street used to be a foot lower. There's also rail tunnels all under the area that were used for moving goods and the mail around once upon a time. Some of the older buildings still have access, though most are walled off.

When they were putting in the Green Line light rail here in Saint Paul, they were digging up old streetcar tracks right under where the new rails were going in.
