You know when people say they'll never build their own house again?
Just been told the mechanical subcontractor on ours has been to site today. And ripped out everything he's done as our builder hasn't paid him. Won't be surprised if the other trades he's fucked over don't all start turning up and doing the same.
So tomorrow morning I have to go over there and see what's happened. And then probably work very hard at some rage control. #Building#PayYourBills
Weird #plumbing issue. In warm weather, our toilet and drains sound hollow, gurgles, etc, when flushing or draining, like when the tub is drained. In the cold months, it is fine. Last year we had the system snaked 100%. No clogs–been an issue since we bought house in 2019.
I am thinking the warm weather, wind, etc is causing negative air pressure through the main roof plumbing vent
#Retrofitting and #Building upgrades are the easiest way to align three societal objectives: it can help people save money, it can help safe the environment and its a nice way of "not giving it to #Putin".
I want to share the story of my dad, who has spent the past 20 years optimizing my family home to produce more energy than it consumes.
He is an #engineer, so this comes much more natural to him as me being an #economist, but I think this story is an #inspiration.
I tested my new old camera from 1954 that produces square images on a 35 mm film, so on a roll of 36 you can squeeze in over 50 images! (I used the cheapest color film available) 📸

The small town of Erice, perched on top of Mount Erice surrounded by beautiful trees, welcomes you with a charming corner adorned with dry field flowers and a rustic meadow. All of this captured in a beautiful analog picture. 😊 💛
Looking Out
Shoin Building at the Japanese Garden
Van Nuys, CA
Do these floor to ceiling open panels qualify for #FensterFeitag I wonder? I will assume so. A beautiful garden to visit if you're in the Valley (though many areas are now undergoing restoration work.)
HELP! Outdoor electric, internet, & water... to a cabin 20 metres from house.
For the log cabin in my friend's garden, she needs to do cabling (internet, electric, water).
We just aren't sure what cables to get, or considerations like how deep the trench needs to be, & if the cables are going to need a sturdy tube to run through, etc.
Can anyone give us advice on any or all of this? :ablobthinkingeyes:
I'm looking for folks who have some expertise in #construction. I'm writing a series on #building in the time of #ClimateChange and looking at ways buildings can be safer as the weather gets weirder, and products or approaches that lower the overall carbon footprint of buildings who would be interested in an interview. It would be 15-20 minutes via phone or Zoom, one day this week. Can anyone here help?
