WrenP-Complete posted:The internet tells me a rumpus room is a recreational room, like a den. I was imagining something far more neon. Yeah, the way I've usually seen it is that the living room has nice furniture for adults and guests, so the kids aren't allowed to play or hang out there so the living room stays nice like the pictures in the furniture catalogue. The rumpus room will be in the basement or the back of the house, and be a shabbier lived-in living room. The kids can have snacks, play video games, throw their toys around, jump on the furniture, etc. If it is big enough it could also have a foosball table, ping pong table, pool table, or air hockey table. That way the kids can be rambunctious while the civilized adults sip wine in the living room. In reality the rumpus room is way more fun and comfortable, so the livingroom basically becomes a museum only used when they have guests.

I forget how much value that added to the condo, but it was substantial. It's got french doors, though, which I find highly annoying on a bedroom, but I don't care that much because I don't live there anymore. That must be something that is state to state. The condo we just sold had what was advertised as a 3rd bedroom when my ex-wife and I bought it. Then, when my wife and I sold it, appraisers wouldn't consider it a 3rd bedroom because of the French doors and caused us a few issues selling it.

Not as good? A great room is usually just a giant downstairs area that is connected to the kitchen, living room and dining room.  A bonus room is basically a bedroom missing a wall. When the builders draw up the plans, you can usually have a house with a 3 or 4 bedroom configuration, for example. If you want a 4th bedroom, they put a wall across the bonus room, install a door and closet and now it's the 4th bedroom. If you stick with 3, then it's just a sort of big open area for whatever. I bought a McMansion built in 2005 in the Inland Empire, ask me anything about goofy suburban living!

I live in San Francisco, and one of my clients at work has a house that he is building a 10'x10', 3-story shower stall in, with radiant heating in the walls so that his showers will feel like it is raining on him and the water doesn't get cold as it falls. I don't know how he got around whatever codes, it's permitted so my guess is that SF just doesn't enforce the shower thing.

I've heard of fire inspectors in SF openly sandbagging inspections of businesses who won't pony up an extra five hundred bucks for the inspector's time. The Police shake down bars and liquor stores for cash in exchange for avoiding ID stings and citations for beverage law compliance. et cetera. SF is corrupt as hell, it wouldn't surprise me if that guy paid his way to code compliance.

I lived with a boyfriend in his parents house in Ohio. They were fairly wealthy and had a giant mansion-like house, and one room that was roped- off, that his crazy mother rarely let anyone allow to walk inside. She called it her princess room, and it was basically a shrine to Princess Diana. White carpet, fancy velvet couch, hundreds of Diana portraits in golden frames, dolls that looked like Diana (so many dolls), Diana memorabilia, magazine covers, books, etc etc. But best of all, a gigantic clear glass grand piano with a gigantic picture of Princess Diana's face on the top of it, with the word "FOREVER". I'll never forget that room, i'll never forget how horrible his mother was, and i'll never forget peeing in the middle of her perfectly white carpet in that creepy room before I moved away forever.

FogHelmut posted:I don't think the radiant heating is going to keep the shower rain water warm. Yeah I would also assume the radiant heating is to heat the air, not the water. At 10 meters, a drop of water (depending on size) will be in the air for about a second before hitting the ground. Not much time for it to pick up additional heat from the air. In a typical non Caligula shower the comparatively small confined amount of space can be warmed from just the hot water because the hot air isn't going anywhere. But when your "shower" is spread out at 100 square feet and 3 stories tall that's a large amount of air to heat, especially since the hottest air is going to float uselessly to the top. So I assume some sort of hearing system would be necessary to keep the gently caress shower at optimal temperatures.

Right, but falling through the air is how most drops of hot water lose their heat. So if the air is warm, the falling drops will lose less heat, since with a lower temperature difference the rate of exchange will be lower.
