Yeah growhouses don't bother with nicities like putting in sockets, they have cables nailed to the walls running from the tapoff before the electric meter.

I once viewed an apartment in the Netherlands that had recently been used as a growhouse. We had to bring ID to the viewing and show them to a pair of very nervous estate agents because of the previous renter's misuse. The apartment itself was great - it was the top floor of a car showroom and it was enormous. It had two full bathrooms, four double bedrooms, a large living room with a panoramic view, a decent sized decked balcony area, two (!) kitchens and absolutely no neighbours. It also had all of the wires hanging out of the light fixtures, boarded up fanlights, holes and channels punched through walls, mystery wiring, an incredible fusty smell and very grubby walls in most of the rooms. We didn't go for that one for many reasons but the main one was that the growhouse operation had done such a number on the main rooms of place that it just wasn't ready to move into, and I was migrating to the country with children. I didn't want to risk problems such as repainting and then discovering that it wouldn't lift the smell and then have to persuade the landlord to redo the drywall and live with the upheaval, for example. Side note: the kitchens and bathrooms had been installed just before the growhouse operation moved in and they were still pristine.

I don't get why there are so many conservatories around here. They're bloody cold in winter, humid in summer, and are quite often built in a way that they leak if it's raining and the wind is blowing strongly sidewards. They take up room that's better used for an extension, which I think the middle classes have started to discover but not after a very long period of people buying these daft things just to keep up with the Jones'.

They are cheaper than an extension, I'll give them that, but yes.

Azza Bamboo posted:I live in a house with a radiator near the toilet and I tell you now when you see it in rust you understand just how potent the fine mist of piss can be. The bathroom bog in my apartment is close enough to the radiator that one could easily burn one's calf while doing a poo poo, but it's still not rusted despite having been installed in the late 1980s. Either your piss dispersal is hosed up or your radiator has poo poo for enamel.

Yeah I think you made the right choice. The biggest issue with grow-ops (after the fire risk) is that they make the air wet as gently caress. Unless they made some serious effort to dry the place out, you'd probably be looking at tons of hidden mould, rot, etc.

I’ve a had a proper roof put on mine then had it dry walled inside so we can use it as an actual room. It almost certainly cost more than the original conservatory did.

That said.. Clayton Bigsby posted:I'm sorry, do you think exterior brick wall = there are bricks all the way through? You don't run cables in the cavity. I can tell you from personal experience that running cables in brick-built homes is a loving pain, even with full access to the brickwork. That said.. Lead out in cuffs posted:(and recall, this is the UK, so the walls are brick) Depends. Modern construction of external walls is usually blockwork with brick veneer, or double-skin brick. Modern internal walls are usually done In The American Style. No guarantee that any of the walls are brick, and given it looks recently modernised it's probably plasterboard even where there's brick.

I am generally not a big fan of house flipping but sometimes the "before" videos of particularly awful houses are amusing. Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_O8kSzpLSo which should be really be titled "Why You Shouldn't Pour Concrete On Expansive Soil".

Weren't conservatories also prime high pressure direct sales fodder in the 90s alongside poo poo double glazing and timeshares? Edit: I've never been in one that wasn't freezing cold either. They all have poured bases with zero isolation from the ground so just act as an all year round heat sink. Powerful Two-Hander fucked around with this message at 13:25 on Nov 5, 2019 |

They're a cost-effective way to give you more floorspace, though my neighbours are already modifying theirs to improve the comfort. Who knew it'd be too hot in the summer?

Well they turn garden into floorspace if one matters more than the other, but I think everyone I know with one ends up putting a proper insulated roof in and trying to stop the floor sinking the heat away so they can use it more than 6 times a year.
