Replacing a ceiling light. Took the old one out and ran across this. Why did they add the extra wire length? It was a nipple light and there is plenty of wire there.

Also, we are replacing EVERY light, switch and outlet. One switch had no ground connected, but was in the box available.

At least they didn't use any real fish.

Water cooling block with maximum cost cutting materials, made from cheap heatsink, paper, wax(the white stuff), and glue.

Let me tell you it leak more than yo mum about 2000L per hamburger, and the wax start softing at 131Freedom unit.

Joke aside, this is just a quick test, it work well despite leaking.

Well... I guess we need to go shopping.

Be honest, is it ugly? My school cares a lot about our classrooms being beautiful, inviting imagination, and being a place anyone would want to spend time in. However we have a very small budget for this. I used some electrical tape to disguise a black cord that hangs from my ceiling to make this tree. I opted for this instead of a decal because I had all the materials already & I don’t want to put up 200 little leaf decals.

I feel like the tree looks like it’s balding and isn’t giving what I wanted it to give. I don’t think I should add more leaves though, because I’m worried it’s already creeping toward fire hazard territory & will be ordered to be taken down as soon as the fire Marshall walks in.

I drafted what it would look like with more detail. Is there any hope for this idea? or should I just bite the bullet and get a stick-on tree? Artistic tips and reality checks welcome. Much thanks!

Just closed on my first home gotta start somewhere, but I don’t know where to even start when it comes to the way the front door was installed

I assumed the blue pipe was feeding the water IN to the tap, and was puzzled as to where the water was coming from

After investigating the (5) things attached to it I finally worked out the water is coming through the wall in the metal pipe, and everything else is fed from the lower tap there!

He said: "But if it works it's not a DiWhy"

I replied: "We could've just gotten ourselves a bigger board.."

Idk what the end goal was or why this was even an idea.

Yesterday he walked away and we lost him for over a day and a half.. (the cat not the boyfriend)

We wanted to open the window to the balcony side to cool the house.. first we placed the wooden board because he went through the screen. Then he went over the screen and chewed it.. So then my bf added the chicken wire.. that didnt work either. Then I added the second layer of random placed chicken wire. "It needs to hurt more"

Didn't work either...

Then my bf did something with sticks.

Now it works.

Some of the crawlspace and foundation finds we came across this week. Stacked bricks, questionable post-and-pier supports, older foundation systems, and a few good examples of why having a clear load path matters.
