Looks like something to house a curtain or shade but that normally would
be above. Slot looks too narrow for a planter.

Everything. The sink, countertop cut, and cupboard should all be parallel.
None of them are.

The countertop cut should be the same angle at both ends, but it
looks like the left-hand cut is more obtuse than the right-hand cut.

It wasn't so much a mistake but that the trim guy showed up before the
tile floor in the front hall was done. In a house a co-worker was
building. So the guy put the baseboards just above the tile where there
was tile, and just above the subfloor where there was no tile. I guess
you could have a robot do his job.

They had a powder room just off the front hall, and the made the door
open inward. So once you were inside you were in the way to shut the
door and the door was in the way if you wanted to use the toilet. My
house cost 1/3 of what hers did but at least my powder room door opens
outward.

Scheduling your trades is perhaps the most important part of building
a house. Some you can stack, others need the house to themselves but
there is always a sequence that must be followed. It was my wife's
specialty. She had the kitchen and bath trick down and was knocking
them out almost twice as fast as the guys. When you are building
production houses, even expensive ones, time is money. Her typical
bonus per house was $4,000 - $6,000 there towards the end.
(Based on completion time, under budget and customer satisfaction)

They suck, but sometimes they're unavoidable. My first house had one,
and when we remodeled the kitchen we left the sink in the corner.

I wash every conceivable thing in the dishwasher, so I never spent

There are all sorts of latching cabinet hardware. I'd certainly have some
if I lived in earthquake country.

We've had, if I recall correctly, three earthquakes here in my lifetime. At least,
three that made the news. I didn't notice a darned thing for any of them.

If an earthquake prevents it from opening you may have other, more
important, concerns. Such as getting the refrigerator out of the big
crack in the floor.

Luckily, our fridge is in the part of the house that's over a crawlspace. So
it won't have too far to fall. Perhaps the olive jar will survive and we can still

I put our sink in the corner on purpose . The area behind it is a
great location for a few house plants ... especially since there are 2
windows behind the sink . One faces north and the other faces west .
Both look out on the woods that surround the house .

I'm actually vanishingly unlikely to ever drink a martini. I hate hard liquor
and will only drink it if it's really diluted. Even most wines are too harsh
with the taste of alcohol.

But olives are among the few things that are in a glass jar in the fridge.
Anchovies are in glass, but I figured after an earthquake a martini made
a better joke than anything with anchovies.

Olives are an awful thing to do to good gin. If you must flavor your
drink, use a twist of lemon peel.

I'm actually vanishingly unlikely to ever drink a martini. I hate hard liquor
and will only drink it if it's really diluted. Even most wines are too harsh
with the taste of alcohol.

But olives are among the few things that are in a glass jar in the fridge.
Anchovies are in glass, but I figured after an earthquake a martini made
a better joke than anything with anchovies.

I read about a refrigerator that was tossed around during an earthquake,
the jar of anchovies broke, and they crawled out and dirtied up every
room in the house.

I read it on Infowars.

I like anchovies, or I wouldn't have a jar of them in my fridge. Just not on
pizza. Mainly on salads or in pasta puttanesca.

Yep. That's the translation.

In Guatamala one afternoon, we were by a school for children, and one or
two of them taught us all the dirty Spanish words. I couldn't remember
any because I was trying mostly to remember words I could actually use,
except someone, a kid or someone, taught us hijo de la gran puta, a
popular expression there, or so he said. Not a recipe, just an
insult. And no cognate in English afaik, which is fairly unusual.
