Is there any way to set electric trissim to adjust themselves on Shabbos, or are they locked in position? If you forget to open/close them, are they just stuck, or then they be put on a manual setting?

We have them on timers.

The gas hot water are supposed to be great! Is the cost of use reasonable?

Our gas bill obviously went up but showering and washing dishes with a large family is just impossible without it.

I don’t have a picture but basically they build up with cement the outer edges of the porch until chair height about a foot thick . Put a slab of tile or something similar on it. Then on the outer part of that put gate going up the rest of the height. So you can sit in that slab and don’t need as many chairs. Also great for little kids to sit and see the street below without going out

Googled and found a picture. But newer ones have a wider seat and much higher gate for safety.

I think these type of walls are dangerous for small kids who climb on them and can fall down. They are quite high.

They are chair height so just as dangerous as chairs. You don’t get rid of chairs when you have little kids. This is the same thing

The railing around the walls with a ledge on the inside must be at least a certain height to prevent kids from climbing over ch"v.

All apartments I've been in with electric trissim have only had it in the living room, going out to the mirpeset. There is a manual crank that you can attach on shabbos and manually turn the trissim that way.

Yes. When the sun heats the water we get hot water that way. The gas only kicks in when there's no water left from the solar dud. We don't use the dud chashmal anymore.

Nobody is badmouthing eretz yisroel here. We are discussing the nuances of Israeli home architecture and how we work around it.

Please don't make things out that aren't.
