Care to explain how the wood will break in 30 years?
>>
>>2884299
it's not the wood, it'll be the fixtures and plumbing all being shitty and outddated
instead of maintaining anything or remodeling they just demo and rebuild
unless the area has turned into a ghetto and they can get away with leaving it shitty
my speculation at least, tons of big hotels in major cities that are barely maintained and hardly better than a motel
>>
>>2884302
Midwest cities have historic hotels and other buildings that have almost never been updated. I think trying to update these is almost as painful as just building new structures.

That's not to say modern architecture is anything other than pure minimalism and density.

To fill that up would be literally tons of water. No balcony is designed with that kind of sustained weight in mind.
>>
>>2884082
Not very. For comparison could fill the balcony with people and get about 300kg/m2, 30cm of water is also 300kg/m2. The absolute minimum design load for a balcony is 250kg/m2 but in most western countries it’s closer to 500

>>
>>2884723
The white box is a fiber ONT and does not have any POE capability. Since 100mbit ethernet only requires 4 o the 8 wires, sometime in the past his electrician spliced the landline signal onto an unused pair. Later he got fiber and couldn't get 1gbit/s through the LAN cable because it is not wired up correctly for that.

Can you explain why using foam is a bad material to build a house out of?
>>
>>2884881
Combustibility.

And no, it's not that we don't think wood can burn, but the NBC2020 has many design allowances for wood construction to meet combustibility ratings by maximizing the time a wall or floor assembly can burn to allow people to exit a burning building.

I doubt foam would give you more than 1.5 hours to exit a burning foam house.
>>
>>2884882
>I doubt foam would give you more than 1.5 hours to exit a burning foam house.
I think grannie could make it out before then. But also, there are fire retardants, fire treatments, and several other factors that make it just as fire resistant as conventional building materials.

I think you're imagining a foam house, foam insulation, and foam anything is more flammable than it really is.
>>
>>2884868
That is horrendous anon. Is that CPVC? I thought galvanized plumbing was the worst possible thing to find, but maybe I'm wrong. How old is that house?

You're just failing to see that you'll soon hit perfection. Your house will be made of flash cotton and simply evaporate in .2 seconds once the first spark hits, completely ceasing to exist. Perfect safety.

300mm of water is 300kg/m2
3dm of water is 300000g/m2

Genuinely what is wrong with this
It looks like an either second-world or third-world shithole, and the concrete commieblock in the background and the brutalist brick cube with metal cagebars in the front reinforce this. In this context, the concrete/plaster corner house looks just fine.
The entrance is based, having a walled-off section is better than nothing when the house is directly facing the street like that, and the metalwork looks post-soviet to me and integrates the door nicely. The tiny windows on the ground floor also make sense for facing directly onto public pavement, the first floor windows are fine and I wouldn't be surprised if the back windows were bigger too; if anything I'm surprised at the one window that doesn't have bars.
The outside facing facade is kinda dirty but it's no more unmaintained than the pavement in front of it, this is clearly not some pristine first-world rich district. Maybe the most worrying thing is the black that looks like it may or may not be mold; but even if it is mold, there's plenty of houses that look much better on the outside but are moldy as fuck inside. (Just look at almost any central London street view, for example.)
>>
>>2885250
>The entrance is based
Long awkward space-inefficient corridors like that are never based. It just divides the house and forfeits probably 200 square feet. Hard to tell where else you might put that entry, but that looks terrible.

It doesn't waste an inordinate amount of space (the rest of the house is pretty big too, so proportionally speaking it's not disastrous) and it gives you space for things like outdoors garbage bins, place to put a bike outside, shit like that. Basically a mini front yard. Without it, all of that would have nowhere to go except inside or maybe behind the house somewhere if there's access.

The only thing I don't like is the apparent mini-window undernearth the overhang there, my goodness it must be DARK in there.

What third world dump do you live in where you consider a shitty gate and concrete stairs to be a mini front yard?
>>
>>2885479
Retard, I already said this is clearly a shitty third world dump house.
It's build directly up against the pavement. The alternative to this would have been the front door opening directly onto the public pathway and road beyond, with ZERO yard space. Or if you want a "proper" yard, it would've basically had to be a courtyard or otherwise probably taken up a huge chunk of the land the house is on right now.

Meanwhile, a little private cubby with a shitty gate leading up to the front door is enough space for, like I said, shit like outside garbage bins, bycicle storage, and shit like this. It's a middle ground between having absolutely zero outside space in the front and having the entrance open up directly onto the public pavement, or sacrificing like half the house for a "proper" yard.
>>
>>2885481
Cope. You're dumb for thinking thats good house design in any way.
>>
>>2885483
I'm not saying it's good, I'm saying it's not an abomination. It's probably fine by the standards of wherever it's located, and by first-world standards it's pretty shitty but you could probably photograph entire neighbourhoods of just as shitty (or more) houses.

For example, a turd world slumshack would be orders of magnitude worse but posting slum pictures off of google maps doesn't make any sense in an abomination thread.

That's gotta be a mix of poor room planning coupled with code compliance. Like they had some wasted space but had to keep the edges of the counter or cabinet some distance from corners and doorways. An outlet would have at least let them sit some small appliance there.

There is no code of having cabinets close to doorways. Looks more like poor planning and/or "what do we do with this tiny cabinet? Fuck it put it there"

I stayed in a hotel that was built like this. They had giant metal security doors on every room, and the door-closers were all way too tight so they all auto-slammed.

So it was like trying to sleep with fireworks constantly going off in the distance. The building was constantly vibrating every time a door slammed somewhere. WOOMFF. WOOMFF. WOOMFF. WOOMFFF-WOOMFF. WOOMFF

Ended up having to crank the TV up loud enough to drown it out.

A "fag" in Danish is something between a trade and a subject matter, so you can find a lot of words that look very funny to non-speakers. At the risk of ruining the joke, that sign says "non-fiction." To make up for ruining the joke: the definite article "the" in Danish is putting "en" or "et" at the end of a word. "The [whatever] trade" is "[whatever]faget."

I've seen this twice in person now. Its only ever on super ancient rural houses too. But think about it, if you needed a new roof and didn't like your simple low slope, you're basically adding another layer of insulating air cavity, saving on demolition costs, and getting the new roof line you really want. Its goofy and stupid but people do dumb shit like that all the time.

>>2886122
It's a bit of a solution looking for a problem. That would be a very gentle gradient that's flatter than a lot of hills. Possibly designed as an anti-cycling measure but could have been done with a couple of spaced railings across it.

It's also fine if you're by the hand railings but a couple or family walking side by side will have the people towards the middle tripping, especially at night. Looks unlit.

I think it was some concrete guy's solution to having a wheelchair ramp and stairs combined into one. I'm only speculating on this part: but I assume you can't have a 20+ foot long grade for wheelchair users because thats asking some actually disabled people a lot to roll themselves up without a landing in the middle. It could be he was just going for something different and I think we can all agree we've never seen anything else like it.

because FUCKING home depot and FUCKING lowes didn't have a 4x10 to 6"dia. straight duct boot in stock despite claiming that they did, just the 90-degree boot, and since that drain line coming down and the huge girder are blocking the direction toward the plenum i had to combine that with two 90s to do the stupid cobra you see, then a 6" to 5" reducer to mate with the existing flex duct.

My only question is, at that point, is it really that expensive to remove the old roof compared to the ceiling space you'll be getting?
Especially when you're already building an entirely new structure just for cosmetics from the outside. I feel like interior aesthetics should definitely be at least as important as how your "roof line" looks like from the outside.

If you've ever seen a full wrapped pallet of 48 cases of the 40 count water bottles at costco, the full pallet weighs just under 2100 lbs in water alone. Try to imagine how many pallets, even just half pallets, would fit on that balcony and you can see how ridiculously heavy all of that water would be to fill up the balcony to the railing.

In my experience a burst supply line won't make the cool ice tower for exactly the reason you said. My guess is that they left a tap going like you said but the flow was low enough and the house cold enough that the drain line froze solid and then the sink flooded the house

>My only question is, at that point, is it really that expensive to remove the old roof compared to the ceiling space you'll be getting?

Yes, roofs are important structural elements that go up before other parts go into the build...removing one entirely on a completed building creates all kinds of risks from unsupported weight, weather incursion, etc. It's not impossible or unheard of but just preparing to remove a roof structure entirely involves lots of work to stabilize what's left after it's gone.

>Especially when you're already building an entirely new structure just for cosmetics from the outside.
There are lots of reasons to add a new roof besides looks, it's probably most common when adding to an existing structure and can solve all kinds of problems related to integrating the new and old portions with minimal potential water intrusion points and tricky roofline/level variations, less complicated guttering and snow handling, improved profiles for handling winds, improved options for expanding ductwork and other systems, etc.
I've seen it done plenty and it was never strictly for looks.

Again, if you're just sperging about its general appearance and cannot communicate any functional problems, even fictitious ones like its just a little slow on one end of the network then fair, if you think the only way to fix all that is just ripping it all out and starting new of course that client didn't want to bother with you.

>>2888191
Tell me why I'm wrong instead of sperging please

>>2888240
Long cables don't cause latency they packet loss. You have no idea why their network wasn't working because you never described anything that made sense. Did they jave like 1 computer that didn't work? 2? Were they wifi problems? You are missing all the crucial details

By “hub” do you mean those passive Ethernet hubs where all the cables are just commoned together? Do those still even work on modern networks? Surely packet collisions would happen all the time, especially with multiple IP cameras sending data constantly.
