It’s more like pranking your granny in the nursing home. Still plenty easy to do, but sad and cruel.

Soon to work on my kitchen backsplash as part of a total reno. Have the “layering” figured out for height and need to get an idea of where to start the pattern horizontally so it looks nice against edges and windows and stuff

Off the top of my head

Not great, but looking at the other comments I’m pretty proud of myself

I like my windows and am not going to get up on the roof to mount a panel and send wires down each time I get a new appliance (oh, and what happens if I replace an appliance that was bundled with a panel with another?)

I mean, you should probably have curtains or something anyway. Sometimes you gotta be able to walk around your house nekkid.

Not gonna lie… I want that.

I laughed when I saw this. Like, it was a guy excited that his computer is working better, including with his printer. Maybe a teensy bit of punctuation I’d do differently, but whatever. It’s the Internet. Then suddenly “oh yeah sorry English isn’t my first language and I’m sure you can all see that”

Is that the M420 S1? I do not, but I thought the G29 took care of that?

I’ve heard about the “Korean age” where everyone is 1 at birth and gains a year at the same time on New Year’s. Seems wacky until you think of it as how many calendar years you’ve been alive for. I mean, it’s still odd but not as bad

I’m also short about $25 million so it’s all a moot point anyway 🤷‍♂️

That’s the ones.

“that’s such a beautiful location! How bad can the inside- oh sweet baby Jesus what’s going on here?”

But to be honest I think I’d rather have this than the soulless minimalistic monochromatic design we see everywhere these days

My tap water (Denver area, Colorado, USA) is pretty good. My fridge has a filter and cold water is tastier, so I end up with cold, filtered water (as filtered as can be from some off-brand filter I got online).

But the coffee maker is next to the kitchen sink and I happily use that. Sometimes I’ll fill a glass from the bathroom faucet and it hits the spot. Neither are filtered, and I don’t think twice about it.

Or you can tell me why my examples are different than yours, or that they really are all the same.

So would you say the same thing about an usher at a movie theater telling you to shut up or get kicked out? How about a boss telling their employee to take out the trash? A parent telling their kid not to hit their sibling? That’s all the same, right, because they’re all making a demand that someone conducts themself in a certain way?

“respect who I am or I’ll be upset”

“This is who you need to be or I’ll be upset”

Nope, not seeing it.

That would explain why you posted this on Showerthoughts of all places.

Sure feels like it, my transistor-based friend.

I would bet a small amount of money that’s related to the mounting of a heavy piece of equipment halfway outside creating a potential hazard.

It also contributes to my original point that regulations are not just for contractors. I get that not everything is followed to the letter (kinda like my speed limit analogy) but to imply that homeowners can do anything they want with their property and supporting that claim with benign things that don’t have safety requirements is laughably wrong (in most civilized areas of the US at least - admittedly there will be exceptions when this is generally handled at the municipal/county level)

Yes, walls (including non-load bearing) still need to be checked for safety. While not as critical as load-bearing, they still need checks for things like proper materials, stud spacing, and that a hallway is wide enough for firefighters to get in with their equipment. Speaking of firefighters, fire blocking is also required.

I dunno what else to say here. I’ve done plenty of home improvement projects and have had many inspections by my city, including a basement finish (which takes framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC…). My city even has a workshop to teach homeowners what’s needed per code (at a high level) and emphasizes pulling a permit. My dad did plenty of projects in another state growing up, and all that took permits as well. So it’s not like my city is just being weird.
