Yooper posted:I watched a special about the Smithsonian disassembling Julia Childs' kitchen to move it to the museum and they discovered that the hood over the stove was just vented into the wall. Something like 40 years of built up gunk and grease inside of the studs. Not sure if it had an outlet somewhere far below or above but they said it was gross. Better than nothing! My last rental didn't vent anywhere, it looked like it had a solid shaft that must house an exit pipe, but when I took it off it was just empty and the fan was blasting wet greasy air up the wall and across the ceiling.

Baronjutter posted:A vented hood would be amazing. We're currently just leaving the oven on the heat our place which isn't ideal. If we don't have the oven on, it's 15 degrees. Luckily the reason the place is 15 degrees is that the 100 year old windows leak badly and you can feel a breeze running through even with all the windows shut so I hopefully won't die from CO. I love how poo poo cancels out like this sometimes. Sure, your heating bill is obscene, but at least you'll never have to worry about mould or damp!

H110Hawk posted:Our bathroom sink is a lovely ikea thing. We've never been able to get the drawers out of it previously and today was the day of reckoning because the sink was draining too slowly to be useful. Watching some YouTube video of how to do it and head scratching resulted in realizing the reason we couldn't unlock the drawers from their tracks is because they were never locked in the first place. Some brute force later and we find out why. Someone used loving tape. All 4 tracks are like this. Why  Flatpacks are so easy to assemble, like playing with lego, how does anyone manage to gently caress it up this bad?

H110Hawk posted:We've found a lot of things in this house that were done by "handy" people. Pray for the dried out little gasket thing in the trap I dutifully screwed back in yesterday. My current rental was previously inhabited by such a person. I'd get into it but it's all very pedestrian by this thread's standards: pencil marks on all the walls denoting drill points for unfinished jobs, hacked up electrics, random screw plugs peppering all the brickwork, multiple ethernet ports that don't work, power sockets hanging out of walls, self-assembled furniture that exists at a permanent slant, etc

Jaded Burnout posted:The thing I heard for this being that people would hang their clothes (robes) in there so the smell would protect (ward) them from moths, but I've not seen that confirmed anywhere reputable. Seems like any closed box would achieve something similar in protecting them from light and such. What smell? All the poo poo is at the bottom of whatever chasm the shitter is suspended over. What I heard was you put clothes in a garderobe to keep them fresh, since you're basically hanging them outside under cover.

Sloppy posted:I've got a well-rehearsed speech and a plethora of examples for clients about why they should never take the low bid contractor. Maybe 50% listen. The bar for a contractor's license is way too low imo. Tangentially, I remember watching some show about self-employed truckers wherein one of the characters would consistently under-bid everyone else to the point of making jobs unprofitable because he was a kid being bankrolled by his dad to pursue trucking as a hobby. He hosed up literally every single job he went on, 9 times out of 10 because his lovely box van was too small. He'd bid on stuff like moving a whole-rear end house saying "oh, it probably comes apart so I can ship it in pieces right?"

Jaded Burnout posted:This one isn't the most egregious here but I'm particularly fascinated by it, because there's safety features in UK plugs that stop you from doing this, and you have to try quite hard to bypass it (including something like shoving a screwdriver into the earth pin hole on a live plug). The best part about this is that safety feature is actually making the horrible hack work better; in the picture there's nothing stuck in the earth pin, so the safety shields covering live and neutral will be trying to close, clamping down on the wires and keeping them from falling out.

AFewBricksShy posted:I realize it might create a strange layout, but wouldn't it have worked out much better to just put the stove on a 45 degree angle in that corner? Try just... moving that whole side six inches to the left? There's clearly space! Sure you'd have it overhanging the wall past the sink by that much, but that would have been much less terrible than whatever this is
