Holy poo poo there's a Swedish show on TV right now called Arga snickaren and it's just horrible. "This isn't mold in your bedroom it's poo poo!" Apparently every episode is him shouting at gormless house-owners and saying "poo poo" a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt-abTWNfuk e: I mean they do fix up the house too.

Lol I found the mommy blog of an old classmate. She posted part of the floor plan of their new build house that they designed for homeschooling 4 kids. It's low resolution so I can barely figure out the rooms but it definitely says 2236 sf main floor 1679 sf flr 2 1046 sf garage Maybe I can't figure out the rooms because the scale is outside my life experience. Maybe those rectangles were hummers, not beds.

That'd be about a three-car garage (as in, three overhead doors), but it's worth pointing out that on those totals, they just sum up a bunch of poo poo in a pretty haphazard way, like if you have an outbuilding barn or something that's actually closed up and insulated? That just adds on to your garage square footage. Friend of mine just bought a place that the assessor claims has like 2400 square feet of garage because there's a detached shop (a nice one), a small decrepit garage that's so busted it's just getting torn down, and a goat barn. They all get counted in for some dumb reason. Probably so they can tax it marginally higher.

A 3-bedroom, 1-bath house with a kitchen and one bonus room would be around 1000 square feet. The tinyhouse movement generally tries to cram everything into a studio-sized space, which I generally think of as being at most 400 square feet.

The phrase "bonus room" always makes me think of a gameshow, like the buyer spun a wheel and either got a bonus room or a year's supply of Aleve, America's #1 pain reliever.

Or is it what we'd call a box room (so named both for being small and boxy and because long ago people stored luggage in it).

Yeah, I'm living in a 3br 2ba house that's 1404sqft but there's a lot of really stupidly wasted space, like a big long hallway leading to all the bedrooms that has an awkward bump-out at the end filling the negative space next to one of the bedroom closets, and a bedroom with a dumb diagonal wall in it that mostly makes the living room SEEM more spacious but isn't really usable space.

more data: my 3 bedroom 2 ba house has a living room and a dining room and a hallway and it's 1188 square feet. What people think of as "cramped" really varies - my house feels fairly open. The bedrooms are adequate but not spacious. The living room is open to the dining room which is open to the kitchen, and the kitchen is smallish. One of the bathrooms (master bath) just has a shower stall and it's legit tiny and cramped. Nevertheless, it's perfectly fine to raise a family in and literally billions of people on Earth live in and raise families in houses this small or smaller. Americans are just ridiculously spoiled. http://shrinkthatfootprint.com/how-big-is-a-house Alereon posted:Typically a room that would be a bedroom except that it doesn't meet legal requirements, such as not having a closet. Yeah. Sometimes also refers to areas that are not permitted or are unfinished, so can't be included in the official square footage.

My wife and I had a 700 sq ft 1 bed 1 bath and after a year she couldn't live in that small of a space anymore. So we bought a 3200 sq ft 3 bed 2.5 bath with a bunch of other rooms but the layout is a little funky because one secion of the house is from the 1750s, another section from the 1800s, and the back section ( our kitchen) is from the 1940s.

sneakyfrog posted:yeah Yeah this thread probably isn't the place for it, but I think the ethical questions behind that whole situation are really interesting. Do you dox someone to the authorities if you have reasonable evidence they are creating dangerous structural deficiencies in their house which may one day become an injury or death for someone else who buys the house down the road, potentially two or three buyers later even? Personally I'd like to trust that a building I inhabit doesn't have secret critical vulnerabilities that could kill me, so I'm less sympathetic to someone posting their modifications on the internet and getting called out for it if they are unrepentant and unwilling to fix the problem, though I think I recall that guy WAS getting contractors and engineers out to fix it. I didn't follow the thread much beyond that so I dunno what else happened. Definitely a pretty wide gray area I think, though.

My parents have a "bedroom" in their basement. It is finished but can't legally be called a bedroom since there is not a window. Except the city says it's a bedroom for tax purposes, but the bank and insurance says it's not. loving city man. They consider the house 4 bedroom, but when they sell can only list it as 3.

There's a mini myth in the UK that a bedroom has to have a window when renting out but in reality the minimum requirement is literally "can you fit a bed in it". Other than that it's just down to safety laws and such. Edit: also closets are extremely rare.

Arachnamus posted:Whaaat? You have legal minimums on what can be called a bedroom? No wonder you guys have so many closets. I think I have a new wikipedia hole to fall down. That led me to some googling, especially about a factoid I had heard before about why a number of older houses don't have many closets, and instead will have big wooden wardrobes and other furniture to replace it. The fun fact was that at some point a long time ago, part of how property taxes were assessed was based on number of closets in a home, so you could cheat the tax man by putting all your clothes in a wardrobe instead!  Turns out that's not true. Old homes (like, 200+ years old in the US or a zillion years old in Europe) don't have very many closets because when it was built, the people of that era didn't have a lot of stuff to put in it, like changes of clothing, multiple pairs of shoes, or clean underwear. We 21st century humans just have a lot of crap.

America prefers to pretend that wardrobes don't exist. e. yeah also that thing. You needed a wardrobe to hang your sunday clothes in, maybe a warm top you didn't wear during the summer, and maybe a nightgown. You were wearing the rest of your clothes, usually.
