Just get Howdens/Magnet/Wickes in to do a free design then pinch it and replicate it on DIY kitchens, that’s what we did

Personally I got tired of dark floors. They get dirty so fast. I recommend floors that are the same color as dirt.

That is very good advice and our floors are a cookie-like medium oak for exactly this reason.

Please do not assume dirt is a factor in the L house when NJAN99 can simply turn on the insane HVAC and suck up any dirt through that, and also asphyxiate any unwanted guests.

If you notice my prompts I didn't actually tell it to do dark tile floors. I guess thats just what happens when you feed an AI on a diet of current Pintrest Instagram images, you get what everyone else is doing, which is apparently dark tiles. Which is what I did in my last place with oak and white plaster and stone walls. So I came up with some different image prompts, inspired by the thread to cut down on the corridorness of the righthandside accessway. But also inspired by the overall L theme  then went full meme from earlier  nothing good so far as I need a new PC that isnt rubbish

The Mario Wall will be studied by historians and visited by school children thousands of years from now, like the Great Wall of China. Do not lump him in with these rank amateurs.

Lol, I wish I had 4 guys in matching outfits on my site at any time. They seem incredibly professional. I can't remember how to do videos so might take an edit but heres my wobbly internal walls. The exterior are fine as they have load on. I say fine. Like fine as in not an immediate terrifying issue. Bear in mind this isnt like a body slam into a wall or anything, its my beautiful, delicately gloved hand gently caressing the actual walls between rooms. https://i.imgur.com/LwQW7Ur.mp4 And you can see here, although actually its much worse in person how the walls are just falling apart.  Plan is to install leftover wall straps backwards into internal walls to tie them into the ceiling and roof timbers. Which I dunno. Like I'd quite like a sort of vertical slipbracket style thing but that only seems to exist in australia because of all the sweltering kangeroos they keep in their lofts/attics. So I'll just do it  And actually it does really firm things up. Like I'd almost be prepared to be in the rooms and assume I wont get collapsed on now.   Pretty much one bracket either side of each internal wall right in the middle. Sort of depending on where the timbers line up.  Whats also worrying is all the wall chases I have to cut in for electrics/sensors/plumbing. I'm avoiding horizontal where possible but need to do one in the bathroom to put the wall mounted tap in the middle of the bath. Using 15mm copper I can stick to the mandated 1/6th horizontal depth chases.  But need to do a crazy very slight bend which means buying a spring and doing some flexing.  Noice  I hate this but it all has to be set at the exact right depth for the tap fitting to screw on given the buildup of hardie backer boards and tiles, hence the weird bending.  Hmmm. lets hope this is all right

Every house you drive by, every little place had it's story, shortcuts, dumbass subtrades, etc as it was being built.

Pretty sensible choice to have earthquake damping if you ask me. When that famous south-east England faultline goes, you'll be laughing. And if the fault line runs beneath your house, it won't happen anyway - your foundations have firmly clasped tectonic plates together.

To be fair, 1. Any construction can be bad if you do it bad 2. Those light blocks are entirely for the builder’s benefit, if it had been bricks or proper blocks they wouldn’t have been building that tall in one go 3. All walls are quite wobbly when not tied in to something

Hewn log walls in the traditional nordic fashion, they are interlocked into each other and it's very rigid and strong. Like if you were to remove say, 1/3rd of the foundations from one corner, the house would support itself and hold that part in the air. Of course the internal walls are part of the structure and provide a lot of the strength. There have been examples of house owners wanting a modern open style layout in their house, so they removed the internal walls and over time the walls start bending outwards, sometimes collapsing and killing their owners. I have a friend who has more than once had to perform emergency repairs to prevent a house collapse. Like spanning the width of the house with large diameter threaded rods and washers. Owning such a house means you can't just tear down internal walls willy nilly, things you didn't think where load bearing are and you can't think about the construction like a stick framed house. Sorry about the OT.
