I would love to see pictures of the tiny house! If you don't mind posting them on the internet for all to see...
I'm renting a room in a house I absolutely love. Private bathroom attached.
The house is about the same age as the one I grew up in (1900-1910s construction) which has made upgrading the lighting controls A LITTLE DIFFICULT
Half the switches don't have neutral. or grounded.
God help me if I try to change some of the 3-way switches in here, I'll probably lose my mind. I had to vacuum a century of dust out of the switch wallboxes before I could even see the wires
which are also FUCKING ANCIENT. they have a woven mesh fabric cover and insulation around them and the cooper wire itself is reaaallly thick. That makes wiring in new controls really difficult. Especially since I can't use most of the fancy stuff my job wants to give me (yay for working for a smarthome lighting controls company. I can control my bedroom and half of the living room from anywhere on the globe) because MOST THINGS REQUIRE NEUTRAL.
and fuck me are LEDs ever a nightmare to dim properly. LED lighting is a such a new area there are not any industry standards yet so any old asshole can shit out an LED bulb and call it dimmable.
"It dims down to 94%. technically dimmable. slap that shit on the box and charge extra"
TRUE, 1% DIMMING is nearly impossible if you don't have quality control over the controls, the fixtures, and the LED drivers. Also, CFL bulbs? they work in a similar, shit way to LEDs
Or just use halogens or incandescents. I've purchased my first incandescent bulbs since like 2012 because they dim without fail EVERY TIME and its amazing, even if they aren't absurdly energy efficient like LEDs.
This went from a life update to a rant about lightbulbs, I'm sorry.
Just want to say it makes me pop flyin' that everyone here is doing so well <3
