That's what my house would be if I didn't frequently remind myself that a post-war bungalow was not meant to hold the trappings of Versailles. I want that full wall curtain will all my heart.

The hanging vintage TV in the green room just loving sells it, that's hilarious. I mean I'd never live there but I'd definitely party there.

I'd peg it a few years earlier what with all the Rococo revival stuff; it think that was out by the seventies everywhere but a grandma's formal sitting room where it would remain frozen in time for decades because no one was allowed to actually sit there.

cakesmith handyman posted:Thought so. The hood itself has terrible airflow though, I may see if a good replacement comes with leds mounted so they don't get the steam directly. Once I get a house, I'm 100% going to an external-vented commercial-style hood. Something that moves some serious CFM and that I can pull down the grates and run them through the dishwasher.

Bad Munki posted:(Un)fortunately, it'd be a freak occurrence if that happened, these days. It's not out of the question, but I feel like I should be able to make it strong enough to withstand even a moderate snow load. Never assume. We seem to be cycling between absurd blizzards and dry winters every decade or so. Is that carport on the north or west side of your barn? My biggest concern for loading would be a deep, wet snow on top of the carport getting suddenly increased when the stuff on the barn roof starts to melt off and all slides at once, like normal for February.

This is the new standard in hoods here (Panasonic). The whole panel pops off for a degreasing and the fan is stupid powerful. I appreciate the magnetic material and flat surface for minor storage.

Liquid Communism posted:Once I get a house, I'm 100% going to an external-vented commercial-style hood. Something that moves some serious CFM and that I can pull down the grates and run them through the dishwasher. The house we bought has a hood vent with a remotely-located multi-speed fan. It stopped working not long after we moved in. We finally found the fan (in one of the two semi-hidden "rooms" in the house) and my father took one look at the wiring and said, "This is not how this should be done." The guy who wired it appears to have used a single-speed motor wired in a non-conventional manner to create a multi-speed fan, and likely put too much current through it, leading to its ultimate demise. Given the pre-fab look of the box, I suspect it was all hacked together with no easy way to just buy a replacement and hook it in without more work. Good times. When our basement/first-floor A/C unit died and we replaced it, the home inspector was actually the guy who did the inspections during its original remodeling in about 2002-3 (two owners ago). He remembered the house, commented on how solid it is (1925 stone construction), and then said, "Yeah, that guy who did it, the contractor who had bought the place to renovate it? He had, whaddyacallit, that thing where you fall asleep? Narcolepsy? I'd show up and he'd be passed out, project half done or whatever. First time it scared the poo poo out of me, I thought he'd just collapsed and died." It explains so much.

You just throw one of my mom's quilts into a fight and everyone's compelled to stop and snuggle in them because they're just so darn pretty and she backs them with ultra-soft fleece that's a perfect summer weight for those nippy florida winter days or for when the AC's blowing too cold and you've just come in with a sunburn.

I'd live the gently caress in that house. The bitches would be beating down my door trying to get me to be their pimp. I even saw a powder blue 2 door 1970-something Lincoln for sale yesterday that would be perfect in the driveway. Hopefully there is a pimp cane and pimp chalice somewhere in that place.

Alereon posted:Note that you have to actually plan for make-up air (incoming air to replace what you're sucking out) when using something like this, or you get such a high pressure differential that you start sucking air in through all the other exhaust vents in the house. This can be very bad when you're trying to vent the exhaust from a furnace or something, as well as costing a lot to replace the climate controlled air you blew away. Proper commercial hoods have makeup air in the front (furthest from the stove). Really nice ones have heated makeup air so you don't freeze to death in the back while being roasted from the front in the wintertime. This avoids the whole "sucking the kitchen doors open" problem as well as causing turbulence throughout the kitchen. I've seen kitchens that had such large hoods that they would stop the fireplaces from drafting if you turned off the makeup air fans.

 What are those rectangles over the windows on the right? They aren't curtains, the curtains are white. There are also blinds. And then . . . rectangles. I suppose they could be sheers, but sheers usually go under the curtains, not over them, and the window on the left doesn't have them. I feel like these are photos from an alternate reality where Trump failed to become a billionaire and instead owned a moderately successful used car dealership in New Jersey. He kept the same sense of style, but couldn't afford to gold plate everything.
