It's 50% accurate! Going back to last week's draughting chat really briefly, is there a CAD drawing focused thread on the forums somewhere where I could post one of mine to get a critique that focuses on visual display of information?

My wife and I have been looking at homes lately. She thought I might like the house in this listing. I just started laughing when I saw this picture:

How does drop ceiling respond to heat and high humidity?

Cheap office park style suspended ceilings have zero business in a residence.

I know we're all focused on the drop ceiling, but check those sink cabinets. Why the ventilation slits? Afraid your toilet paper might suffocate in there?

Oh yeah, I just remembered the other house she found, with some questionable design choices:  You got the ugly tin sheets with I don't know what those are in the door and window corners. Gussets? And now onto the bathrooms:   I can't even place what time period those countertops are from.

That was one rad house back in the late 70's/early 80's. If you ever watched Easy Money--the red bathroom tells you everything. The cabinet is mounted that high to keep the kids from finding the drugs on the top shelf.  At least the floors have been redone. I image it was some thick shag back in the day.But what I found kind of curious the kick plate for the central vac and the nu-tone intercom system. What are the schools and surrounding neighborhood like? Depending on your budget and penchant for remodeling--that house might be a steal. Not knowing your market these are total PFA numbers--but if the neighborhood and schools are amazing and homes in the area are selling for say $300K and you could get the home for less than $150K. Turn around and drop another $120K ($60K kitchen, $20K each bath, and $20K in floors/paint)--and in four to six months you could have a house that isn't so dated. Any way of checking the Days on Market? How is the home priced compared to others in the neighborhood? A couple of really big assumption--the previous owners lived in the house a LONG time and by now--I'd think the initial mortgage has been paid. And if the original owners are gone--who owns the house now? The kids? An executor trying to liquidate? Could be the perfect situation where the sellers are desperate for any offer. Just food for thought. Oh and looks like there IS a vent in that "gotta be a basement" bath.

HycoCam posted:Going with the giant unsealed bulb next to the removable shower head. I wish I had pictures of my old place's basement. It had a cinder block wall shower that had been hacked in from a floor drain and mop sink faucet, with the shadiest possible romex fed socket with a sealed-bulb outdoor post light bulb in it as the only shower in the place.

What on earth is that white thing stuck under the cabinet? A radio? Wish I'd saved the photo of some cheap rental I saw where the little kitchen area has a oven vent hood dedicated for a tiny toaster oven that comes with the place. And to make it even weirder there was no space for an oven under it. Continuous countertop. Or they expected people to buy hotplates to put on the counter.

I have one in my home that the previous owners installed. I left it because if I remove it, then I have four holes in the bottom of that cabinet. I use it from time to time if I'm in the kitchen. Just radio and CD, I don't think it has a connection for an mp3 player or phone. It's at least out of the way, so it doesn't really bug me at all.

As a product I think it makes perfect sense because why wouldn't you want to listen to something or watch TV while cooking and you want all the available counter space for, you know, the cooking. Then again a lot of them were really ugly.

Haifisch posted:For the complete 90s set, install a small CRT TV somewhere in the kitchen too. I think the color of the cabinets plus the counter are OK. The walls being a textured red backsplash just does not work at all, and isn't even where it needs to be. The ceiling fan is in a place where no one will be unless they are walking through the room. The island that doesn't match a drat thing in the kitchen is the most glaring thing. Also, the orphan cabinet.
