      2/ not sure that I've got the dump valve installed correctly - is surplus water supposed to dump even when washing? so, may take the washer back to the shop and fiddle with it before washing out stall #2

      7/ The new shelves go in the 3rd floor east bedroom, north wall, to hold science fiction hardcovers. After that, another set (shallower, and shorter shelf spacing) to hold SF paperbacks on south wall. After that, more for living room #2 encyclopediashttps://twitter.com/cyr_actual/status/1272886620145025034 …

      Any particular plan you used for those? How are the shelves mounted in particular. The ones I’ve built I cut a shallow rabbit, glued & screwed but ofc that makes the shelves permanent (not that I care that much I suppose)

          8/ Yes, my design is the same as yours. * 3/4" thick pine wood * 1/4" dado (it's a rabbit if at the END of the plank, a dado if in the center) * glue * pneumatic staple from outside * putty to cover staple hole face frames cut from pine, again glue and staple

          9/ apocryphal ; they tell that tale at every university re houses: minimum engineering requirements are something like 30-50 lbs per square foot dead load, and about the same for live loads.

          I don't know if this an apocryphal thing they say on all college campuses, but at Iowa State, they say the library sinks ~7" every year because they forgot to account for the weight of all the books. This hurts because it's my alma mater and an engineering school. #beCareful ;)

          10/ ...as long as they're up tight against the wall, they're loading the joists INSANELY close to where the joists land on the top plate of the floor below, and so you get to take advantage of the entire load rating for the FULL ROOM

          Looking pretty sweet. Sometimes I fall down that rabbit hole of YouTube channels watching the skilled work that goes into Japanese joining techniques that don't take nails or glue and briefly consider the insanity of doing it. It just takes so long though, lol.
