MisterOblivious posted:Sharing a fun new update at my house with you all today! It’s a shiplap display wall and I’m so excited about it! Remember when I had my carpenter put up shiplap in Kole’s new room? I loved it so much that I decided we needed a little more of it. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get enough white molding/planks in my life. Maybe I'm terrible but knowing that it's supposed to a display wall and have a bunch of crap on it make it less objectionable. It's still bad, but on the same level as the rest of that bland-rear end house instead of being the worst feature in a pile of blandness. Also powder bathroom sounds like the toilet you've set aside for cocaine use.

The house really is vintage 2017. Someone should lock it up for future urbanex types to discover. Can't hate on that kitchen though. 48" range, 2 sinks, quartz counters and inset cabinets? Yes please. Hopefully that lady will come to her senses and dismantle the second island and put an actual table in.

The Olivebridge Cottage gets another update.quote:Then some more decisions. How tall are the first floor ceilings? I say 10 feet. Adriana wants 12. How tall are the second floor ceilings? I say 8. Adriana insists on 10. All of a sudden the house gets four feet taller. That doesn’t sound like a big deal, but things like that had a bigger impact on everything—costs and time, for instance—than any of us appreciated at the time. That’s longer lumber, more insulation, more of all the finishing materials…whoopsie!

Turns out when I put my smokes in years ago I wired them into two different circuits so you have to turn off two breakers to kill my bathroom vent fan. I found out because I'm gutting the bathroom, so I guess leaving it for a few more days won't kill me but I suppose I should fix it. That was a nasty bug to track down though, it took me a while to consider turning off all the breakers then turning things on one at time until the fan came on, which happened for two breakers.

topenga posted:WHY??? Why so much white in a kitchen??? I am looking into my future, I know it. My fiancee loves white everything. Bought our house a little over a year ago, and the old owners had lots of stained wood. The base, and trim is stained, kitchen cabinets are stained, doors, etc. It's mostly an orange/brown kind of color. I'm generally ok with it, but she's already mentioned how she wishes the trim was white, and talked about painting over our cabinets in white. I don't mind white, but I'm worried that slowly like 90% of our house is going to be white.

I want to smack the lawyers who accepted this and people who wanted to bring suit over it. It's stupid, but at least on HD's website they call it 4 in. x 4 in. Further down it lists the actual dimensions as 3.56 in. Maybe that's what this is arguing. Probably should just list is as 4x4 and not say 4 in. x 4 in. http://www.homedepot.com/p/4-in-x-4-in-x-8-ft-2-Ground-Contact-Pressure-Treated-Southern-Yellow-Pine-Timber-194354/205220341

Facebook Aunt posted:Presumably they are just there for looks, like everything else in her house, and no one ever uses them. You know, I get a little jealous when I see a house as organized, and clean, and pretty as that, and then I realize that mine is a mess because we actually USE the house, and have stuff in the house that likewise gets used on a regular basis, rather than being a museum of Interior Design. In other words, I have a comfortable, warm, lived in space, where she's got a store display. Then I'm OK with my mess, mostly. kid sinister posted:

Oh man this blog is giving me flashbacks to working in architecture. "Then some more decisions. How tall are the first floor ceilings? I say 10 feet. Adriana wants 12. How tall are the second floor ceilings? I say 8. Adriana insists on 10. All of a sudden the house gets four feet taller. That doesn’t sound like a big deal, but things like that had a bigger impact on everything—costs and time, for instance—than any of us appreciated at the time. That’s longer lumber, more insulation, more of all the finishing materials…whoopsie!" 12' ceilings can be nice in a "great room" or something but in, what is this, a cottage? You don't need loving 12 foot ceilings in your guest bedroom and you don't need 10 in your 2nd floor bedrooms. 10 and 8 would have been fine.

We had to raise the roof of our factory at work by less than 10 feet in order to accommodate the larger track and robot system we use to move materials inside the factory. It cost dozens of millions, but it was worth it compared to the alternative. Spending a pile of treasure to raise the ceilings for aesthetic whims does not seem worth it
