When the veneer is too thin....

I pass by this apartment complex all the time....since it was built, I've seen this woodgrain "veneer" (more like a vinyl car wrap?) get ripped to shreds everytime it gets windy. The white section above used to have the same "veneer" on it as well. Looks good from far...but far from good. Talmbout cheaping out.

Looklike one of those appaaaato+garage (workshop) aimed at wrench monkeys

Is that what they are? Sooo many popping up around my hood lately. I wouldn't mind an actual garage.

(*)name of the House in reference to French Mistral Class amphibious assault ships (BPC helicopter carriers / command ships)... name used in the neighborhood maps, wife find it cringy, postman and delivery company seems to find it easier to locate in their gps...

Dude...now I have to see this thing in person.

Major boner for these!!!

Are you thinking you need to filter out turd from city water or?

Cat shitter exhaust fans

Did you build a cut out or something for this? Hard to believe pet poo area with exhaust fans are not a standard option on new homes.

Winch: staircase turn around an imaginary column (maybe 60x90) on the second floor the guardrail have a door opening to this void. On the stairs ceiling there is a small hole from witch a steel cable come down. The hoist (ok, not a winch, a hoist, I donkt really get the difference, but apparently it exist) is located in the attic. Load can go from 1st to 2nd floor but not the attic. Basically it leave all the place for a human elevator later while being a cargo hauler today. The hoist is mounted on an IBeam with bare minimum rating of 3t (1), my chinese hoist for now is 3/4t... I think...

Garage split will need drawing, it's more an organisation trick than technical marvel.

Water Filter: Parking space have a 60x40 rectangle without concrete, over the water line that can be easily dug out, even by hand in order to split the pipe and install a house wide filtration/treatment device. Not needed now, the place seems really close to the city water reserve.

Cat shitter fan: in the 2 sink senmen, under them are the cat shitterSSS and at 30cm high on the wall is a small air suction fan.

Right now it's still complete chaos from rushing out of the bunker klinik when it was demolished.





(1) the company deal usually with industrial buildings, so all the metal squeleton of the house as well as concrete bathtub foundation are not for house but for industrial instalation. The cost increase was near negative since they order the big iron stuff all year round while smaller house sized stuff would have been a different shipment/order.
That created an issue with one of the land I preferred (near the harbour on top of a levee with riverside view. Bit of a flood risk, but the problem was land too weak for the estimated weight of the house.

It's been awhile, just thought I'd check in and see how you FGs are doing these days.
Coligny, glad to hear you got your house built - looks good. Just one question, why is there a square sink in this bathroom?

12 cats, mostly rescue from the packs from the harbour. Health really not great overall, so a big sink to clean/give eyedrops/help them sneeze out giant snots/puke...
The sink was mandatory...
Lucky there is a vet clinic 1 minute by car... I can see the roof from my window... basically saved one of them twice...

Moar pickshure... since I still can’t see the floor on most part of this house... maybe not yet...

[matsuki]

I'd soo go for a pet shower too...my pups are too big for the sink but when you put em in the bathtub, you're guaranteed to get a bath as well. Still rather be an itchy man than pay the groomers ichiman and then some (per pup) every month.

やっぱり！ That is exactly what I thought it might be for.
I hope you're mandating birth control for the ones you keep (we have at least one neighbourhood idiot that feeds strays, but doesn't sterilize them).
We get a few strays (or just wandering tame cats) strolling through our yard daily, but we can't keep any as our ferocious toy poodle would not be too happy. Before the poodle, we had a cat for 10 years, but I can't imagine having 12, yikes.
Good luck with your menagerie.

In Aichi there is a sponsored catch-release plan. You bring strays to the vet for a day, they get checked spay/neutered bills go either to the city hall or the Aichi sumthing. Ear get clipped, cat go back, life goes on.

That is far far better than I expected! Good to know!

They also have support program where they provide weatherproofed feeding huts to dispatch to known colonies. Stuff have official signs warning against illegal tampering/interference.
And at least in Toyohashi strays have the weird legal status of "pet without owners" and are therefore under some sort of legal guardianship of the cityhall. Seems to mostly be used in case of animal abuse or accident to bring the hammer down on perpretratrors.
