Thoughts on architecture's disrespect for the potential beauty of plumbing.
Essentially, this video is a big complaint that typical residential plumbing, probably 99% of residential plumbing, is designed such that it's built into walls and floors that must be destroyed in order to maintain or repair the plumbing. I understand that there are reasons plumbing is typically installed behind walls and under floors. Gotta keep pipes from freezing; it's cheaper to destroy a sheetrock wall than to fundamentally redesign plumbing conventions to allow ready access to pipes; plumbing is relatively low maintenance, and to build access to pipes is way less cost-effective than to demolish walls and floors when needed. Also, I imagine, there's building codes that require specific plumbing conventions.
But we've had a bunch of plumbing emergencies at this house, and each time we do, it seems the heavy-lift of the repair is the inaccessibility of the pipes. On one occasion, the plumbers had to bring in a skinny 16 year-old nephew in order to fit beneath the house to access some pipes.
I do not accept that there is NO WAY to design plumbing differently from its current incarnation, as this video demonstrates. I first saw the Pompidou Center in Paris when I was 21, and it's had a lasting effect on me.
The drone rescue is in here because drone rescue videos are a bit of a cliche now, so i didn't want to make a stand-alone drone rescue video, AND I found those tree guys so incredible that i couldn't resist. I wanted you to witness how they work. You should see them with chainsaws...
