Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Whoa you've actually been in this place? I thought it was just something from the internet. How's the tile bedroom? Firm, clammy mattress? The bedrooms are one of the few places that don't have tile actually. Unfortunately, they all had ancient carpet (one of that had what was probably the original berber in it).

Pretty much. It appears it was pretty much a construction worker's dream house from the early 60s. The original owner (and his brother) were both tile installers, hence the copious amounts of tile (almost every room is different, although some types are clearly from the same design line of tile). The only seriously wtf moment we've had was that the "master" bath had carpet in it, and clearly has always had carpet in it. For the life of me I cannot understand why this would be done that way, even in the 60s. We're trying to fix some things as necessary, but the overall goal is to keep the character of the house. Tiny Brontosaurus posted:It does look... humid. Somehow. Despite the photos clearly having been taken pre-move-in. And I can't imagine anyone's ever taken a bath in that tub since it puts your nose directly in line with the toilet seat. The back of the bathroom used to be exposed with (I think) a sunken window. The second owner added on a garage behind the house, and when they did that they enclosed the window and turned it into a vent tunnel out to the edge of the slab. It's actually a pretty decent solution, but it does make the bathroom feel kinda dungeony.

This is probably a mistake but whatever. It seems we have all calmed down a bit, myself included. I'd like to say some things now. In a forum. On the internet. - I said some things that sounded sexist. It was not my intention to sound this way. I don't consider myself to be sexist and I'll refrain from claiming I know everything women want in life. I may not be married, and while my personal relationships are of little relevance, i'm not disconnected from the female sex. Although, as mentioned by someone else, this forum is hardly representative of the average female. That being said, I still stand by my statement that women make home buying decisions (not unfairly, just factly). - Many of you have expressed "concern" over my design. Stating that it looks akin to a modern Vegas hotel bathroom. Truth be told, if you had asked me what I wanted my bathroom remodel to look like, I would have used the words "modern Vegas hotel bathroom". So I believe I have achieved my goal. The design is not going to change. There will be ample storage, ample light and possibly some rocks. I have designed many rooms and several projects in my previous and current home and have received a lot of praise for those projects. I don't expect you all to like my design and that's ok cause you don't have to live in it, but if you're going tell me you think it looks like poo poo, please post pictures of your own bathroom (as some of you have done) so we can all ridicule you as well (also so I know whether or not you're qualified to dis my design). We all have different tastes, lets be a little more open minded. - There are several hundred of you and only one of me. It's extremely hard to not get defensive when everyone is making GBS threads on you. 90% of you are just trolling me for your own comedy. That's not why I posted this thread. I'm glad I did post because I've certainly learned a lot (of my mistakes) in doing so. I understand I'm going to get made fun of. YOU should understand that everything is being handled appropriately. But please don't spend all of your energy picking apart everything I say just so you can make another joke. I might say some dumb things. I might say some things that aren't dumb but still get picked apart because I'm the whipping boy of this thread. Lets do our best to keep the trolling to a minimum if that's even possible here. - I've said I'm not a very private person and will answer most any question I'm asked. But that doesn't mean you need to go posting pictures you found of me on the internet, despite how publicly available they are. This is supposedly ban worthy, unless for some reason "the mod thinks its ok just this once, but lets not do it again ok guys?" I've been asked why I don't just host my images on imgur. Well, back in the day hot-linking to images you didn't host yourself was a banable offence. I had always hosted my own images on my own site and just never changed. That's the only reason. Moving forward I will likely post them on imgur since some of you like to get all stalker and poo poo. Yes, I DJ on occasion, but really that site is just a shitbox for me to store things since I don't advertise anywhere with my DJ website. - And what's with the job bashing? I mean, I assume no matter what job title I provided I would have gotten the same, "Oh that explains it. He's employed as X. No wonder he's such a fuckup!" Are Sales Engineers really that notoriously bad? Really its my job to keep sales people from saying things that aren't true and showing people how stuff works. It was not an easy job to get and not one that they hand to anyone with a high-school diploma. I do actually have to know a lot of stuff to do my job. But sales is sales, and I'm the last person that would call myself a "salesperson", but I don't know why we are just automatically bad people altogether. Anyway that's all I can think of for now. Please be nice to me, I'm not better than anyone here, I just like different things. Also I have nothing to report. Still waiting for engineering plans. Hoping to hear back on that next week. bEatmstrJ fucked around with this message at 01:36 on May 6, 2017 |

We have entire NEIGHBORHOODS of nearly untouched mid-century ranch style hones selling for under 100,000 dollars. Most are within walking or biking distance of grocery stores or shops.
