Ironically, that seems to be covered by your section (g): matters relating to population and housing.
So you don't recognize any law that isn't already part of the constitution? That must make for an interesting life.

I prefer hardwood, heated from below if possible.
At my boss' place the foyer (sinks and closets) of many of the bathrooms have carpeting.

These are amazing and I'm going to link to them again just because. Vimeo has a great deal of showpiece HD videography for some reason.
I mean the toilet/tub/shower areas. Of course the dressing areas often have carpet. Not that the census takers should care where you have the carpets. I once received the long form, but do not rememeber anything about carpeting. I recall that the questions were not particularly onerous, and the govs would have most of the info anyway. The toilets would be part of the house plan for example.

We have wall to wall in our bathrooms. My aim is deadly. :rofl:
You've never had a toilet, sink or tub overflow? I flooded almost a whole condo once in 1988. Stuff happens.

Sometimes it's not your fault, it's your neighbors. But your lowest drain just happens to be lower.

I'd go with carpet in the bathroom. Not deep pile stuff, but since I keep a litter box in my bathroom for my cats, I'd rather vacuum than have to sweep and scrub the little bits that get tracked out when they do their business. Kitty litter vacuums easily. It's not so easy to get off the floor once it's gotten wet and ground into tile.
Carpet in the bathroom really would bug the shit out of me. Carpets hold all sorts of nastiness in them no matter how good of a vacuum you have. I prefer a ceramic tile or something non-porous (linoleum/vinyl/Corian) that would absorb the absurdities that come out of human bodies. Cleaning tile and hardwood flooring is much easier than carpet and you know once it's clean. Carpet just makes you think it's clean because you can't see what's lurking beneath.

When kitty litter gets wet on tile, it turns into a hard, glue-like substance that has to be scraped off with something designed for scraping. When kitty litter gets wet on carpet, it still dries out, but it flakes off easily and can be vacuumed up.
I'll take the carpet.
I don't ever remember having a problem like that. Maybe it's the type of litter being used or just messy cats or something. I usually keep the litter pan in the bathroom which is a tile floor. If that were to happen, you can easily scratch a tile clean with a razor blade. I've done that in the past without any issue after paint spilled and dried on my kitchen tile. Most of the time the kitty litter is just the dry bits on the floor which are really easy to sweep or vacuum up. You know when you've cleaned it all up unlike in some carpets.

I tore all the carpet out of my entire house. I like being able to clean with a shop-vac.

You could also use a leaf blower.

I suppose if I turned on the kitchen vent (1000CFM+), but I'd have to borrow one from the gardener.
Sometimes the house water goes out and comes back later, blowing the sink faucet open while you are sleeping. Sometimes there are tree roots and the washing machine comes out of the toilet. Sometimes the tub overflow tube is clogged. Stuff happens.

Insurance for water damage is different from flood insurance, at least in the US.

Remind me not to buy your house second hand. I cannot image what it will look like in a couple of years.

Not really a
So they lowered the price $200 since I was looking at these last week. And they now ship with a more flexible silver cord instead of the overly stiff & fat Canare based cord that came with the pair I'm borrowing.
The plot thickens... :thumbleft:

The shop-vac is actually stage two of three:
1. Push-broom
2. Shop-vac
3. Cool moppy-thingie
I have large open stretches of hardwood. Using tools designed for large flat areas seemed the right choice. <shrug>

I got a Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair today.

That looks really nice. I'd assume it's comfortable?

Yes, it's comfortable. The cushions are still a bit stiff. I sat in a floor model at Room and Board that was broken in and it was more comfortable. I will just need to spend a lot of time sitting here to break it in.

Maybe because it's made for American-size asses (which, IIRC, you have not). I'm sure they would be very soft if you'd put a 350lbs bag of saturated fat on them. You may have bought the wrong chair for your physique.
Where does one get a 350 LB bag of saturated fat?

It was designed in the 50s when Americans weren't as large as today.

Damn census called again. Apparently they call four months this year and the same four months next year. They do ask salary, union, hours and OT hours worked questions every time. I don't mind so much the questions but repeatedly asking the same things is what annoys me.

I have a POÄNG chair from IKEA that I really like. It It's not as fancy as the Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair, but I really like it.

Hmmm...Sure looks comfortable for a light person, but I'm ~200lbs and I wouldn't feel safe sitting on that chair. How much weight is it rated for?
