i like when a hotel bathroom was clearly designed to have a normal door, so when they convert it to a barn door there's a weird empty spot in one corner this comment is based on the single time i stayed in a hotel room that had one

Whoever designs hotel rooms has a burning hatred for the sorts of people who stay in hotels.

Yeah, the reason I have them was my roomates added them to their bedroom (the living room) for privacy. They were, of course useless, especially since the dogs would just come barreling through them. If they were REALLY excited they'd knock them off the track entirely.

Don't bi-fold doors accomplish the same thing as barn doors? Don't require any wall space either.

Yeah, but they're harder to install, and usually suck even worse.

Found out our basement door is messed. You can get in. If you close the door though it doesn’t open the door at all. The other knob doesn’t pull that little thing in far enough.

I installed a cheap accordion door on my bathroom because there would have been no room whatsoever for a standard door. Works fine (though if I had company over I'd want music going to hide the sounds of pooping), but it hangs about two inches off the floor and the cats like to squeeze underneath it.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Also exposed "Edison" lightbulbs. oh! so I was at the Lowe's, and rattling around the light bulb section. and there was a woman there ahead of me. so she buttonholed an employee and asked about Edison bulbs, so he led her to them, safely in another section. I followed along, bc I was also curious about these magical bulbs. while he was in the middle of saying "but you have to be careful, because" she dropped the package and it sounded like gunfire, and I realized only at that moment that the Tom and Jerry cartoons from the 40s I'd watched as a child were not in fact exaggerating something in a hilarious cartoon way but just reporting a real fact of using these terrifying light bulbs

As soon as I start building (Or sooner, like once I have solid plans I want input on), I'll post one. I have like two more buildings to put up and some interior work planned, but none of it's getting done with ~six feet of snow on the ground.

Empty Sandwich posted:oh! The old cartoon ones were under vacuum, since that's an "easy" way to keep the filament from burning. Later on, we started filling them with noble gases, typically argon; it means the bulb doesn't have to stand up to any real pressure, and it's easier to fill it with a gas than to seal in a vacuum. The aggressive pop in old cartoons was probably vacuum bulbs imploding - if the new ones do the same thing, it kind of suggests they've gone back to vacuum. Which is an odd choice.

Most of the Edison bulbs I’ve seen are actually LED now and just mimic the look of Edison bulbs. That may be just because I’m in CA and they cant sell incandescents anymore.

Edison bulbs are decorative and should be no brighter than 500lm.

I’ve got a commercial building that still gets incandescents because my client can’t budget replacing the large banks of dimmers for a conference room. There are high watt broadcast lights in there too, so it’s a pretty inefficient room, really. In the rest of the building I’ve been switching everything else over and it’s great.

That also violates code on both slope (way too steep) and no railing where stair nosing is beyond 30" AFFL. Oh, and the 4in test sphere rule regarding riser openings, for that matter. E: I can't see from this angle but I wouldn't bet on it having acceptable headroom either. Or light switches for the room the stairs are in at both ends of the stairs.

A client has been putting the LED pot lights in her home. There are six lights that string together and then into the DC power source. While I really like them, I would hate to have to tear open a ceiling to replace the power supply if it ever died.
