My family house neighborhood.
Nothing has been much changed since my childhood.
It’s one of the old town area where the neighbors are the same for many generations.

 

Japan No.103

Wheel houses, Jarlshof. First century CE (late Iron Age).

I don't know much about these. When I go travelling in Australia, I look at every building in terms of when it was built/modified, assess everything I read against what I know, fit everything it into an existing framework. When I was planning to travel overseas, I looked forward to being able to just walk around and look at things and not having to work out where they fitted in the bigger picture.

And I did! For the first week, I wandered around Shetland just looking at cool things and thinking they were cool. Jarlshof is from that first week.

The onsite information panel says

"Wheelhouses are unique to the Northern and Western Isles of Scotland. Inside, it's easy to see how the buildings got their name. The structure is circular, with the different compartments resembling the spokes of a wheel. We are not sure how the space in the house was used. The central area was probably communal, while the compartments may have been private or areas for particular tasks. It would have been dark inside, as the roof was covered with turf. A central hearth fire and simple oil lamps would have provided a low level of light."

The portable AC unit that I ordered has arrived, and I have set it up in the bedroom!

I am SO stoked at the notion of it NOT being >80F (27C) in there, DESPITE the central air running. (The ground floor feels GREAT, but the upstairs is just... too far away. , ammirite?)

Anyhoo, tomorrow morning, I will roll it down the hall and set it up in my office. I am SO stoked at the notion of it NOT being >85F (30C) in there.

I found a good enough way to find a stud in my 100+ year old home, a rare earth magnet stud finder. Doesn't always work and is mostly useless in the kitchen where the wire mesh is, but I was able to find the joists in my ceiling to mount my projector correctly.

Quick shot of a house I've wanted to shoot for ages. Still working out the proper angle, because the one I want is covered in power lines

We were up a bit late last night, and both of us slept in this morning. Like really slept in. But I turned the heat up this morning and it still hasn’t even reached 68°.

But not long after, somebody did a total renovation. They only restored the front porch, and not the long-missing bit that wrapped around the side, and the small extension off the back was removed and replaced with something a little different. But otherwise, they did a wonderful job of restoring it to its former splendor. It still makes me so happy that it wasn't just torn down and replaced as so often happens.

Just came across this picture I took in 2006. It made me sad that this handsome old house was gradually but inexorably falling apart.

Geeks/DIYers - have a need to run a stand of fiber (SC/APC term) through an interior wall (moving FTTH stack to another room). I’d like to avoid just doing pass-through brush plates (old house/plaster) and I’ve got minimal fiber run experience, but plenty of lowV/copper.

Is the best approach a .5m patch inside the wall with surface mount/low profile jack on either side? Bonus points for suggested hardware. This is what I’d do for copper, and way more comfy doing that, but would rather have the stack all in one place.
