Excellent Shower Detail

CeraNiveau complete drainage system

More info here:

The drain body is cast into a polymer-concrete collar, while integrated reinforcement securely anchors the drain,with the drainage point remaining firmly set even under heavy loads. It is permanently watertight.

A 0.8 l/s flow rate ensures that “water from even the largest showers can be safely drained.” More at Dallmer. Photo: Dallmer.

This is great, despite the fact that we fall prey to nasty parental approval. Just spell the name correctly…

Open letter to architects (and other tragic heroes)

It is time to bring the noise in a big way. No more whining. No more complaining. If you are still around – congratulations – you are one of the few left. Now let’s feel those bass cannons.

Images of sonic weapon and following text from BLDG BLOG article here:

http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/bass-ganglia.html

Inspired by experimental Japanese sound weapons prototyped during World War II, Alberto Tadiello’s E13 000625 (2010) mounts a bass cannon onto the wall of an art gallery, where it greets visitors with an alarming, vibratory blurt.

Régine Debatty calls it “the sound that hits you in the stomach.”

Good to see you old friend

Ran across this as I was searching for a old needed cad file on an old hard drive. A sort of homecoming. I missed this one.

This is a rendering for a home plan set that I created back when people actually were wanting these and building things.

Hey economy – lighten up already!

This is so great. A definite addition to the “why didn’t I think of this?” file.

I think I found my birthday present. See the full link below.

Reset: CFL

These are really excellent, and the quality of the light is much better than the greenish hue from typical CFLs. See the link below for more photos in contextual settings.

Time to Purge

This is a good summary for the weekend as my family and I worked hard on removing clutter. Maybe we should have read the book before working, though. Ah well, maybe next weekend.
