Those windows and wood frames are not going to hold up well.

Well it's held up since 1976. House was being sold as-is, and some of glazing on the greenhouse has failed to the point where they have plastic over it, but the windows and framing on the pyramids themselves seem okay. The slate on the exterior needs a good power-washing though.

This cabin seems very cozy.

Irony is that This side of the water if you have a kitchen large enough for what we call "American freezers" then by god you don't hide them because those things are expensive.

No really, we actually call them that. http://www.argos.co.uk/browse/home-and-garden/large-kitchen-appliances/fridge-freezers/c:29617/type:american-fridge-freezers/

So is the term specifically for vertically split fridge/freezer combos or do UK homes have, like, super narrow refrigerators?

Collateral Damage

European fridge/freezers are typically 55-60cm (21.6"-23.6") wide. Combo fridge/freezer unit are split horizontally.

I haven't heard anyone use the term "american freezer", but I guess it refers to combo units that are wider than 60cm and split vertically.

Really it meams those stupid almost-double width fridge-freezers with a built in ice tray and so on but some companies just use it to refer to the double-door design on a normal width fridge which is dumb and they're doing it wrong. They're still expensive as hell though.

But again, when you say double width, you don't mean, like, double American width, yeah?

We're getting a freezer equivalent to the freezer half of That Monstrosity, but to be fair it's going down in the creepy side of the basement.



Pictured here: the wiring for the new outlet and light that my dad put in this weekend. (The junction box on the left originally was going to be attached to a metal stud but we decided to wall-mount it instead, hence the unused flanges.) I think we'll go with a upright deep freezer, since my wife otherwise wouldn't be able to reach everything.

No murder room of mine would have ductwork and electrical within reach.

In reality it's not bad. The rest of the room has some decent overhead fluorescents, which I shut off to make the light blasting out of a BR40 LED that much starker.

My fridge is hidden (not my choice) and I hate it. The door is so heavy that I struggle to open it. One of the handles broke, no doubt from constant mechanical strain, and they're no longer making that line. Dumb.

What's up with the bed hanging out back there? That kitchen is definitely old school in both layout and fixtures so I get wanting to open it up, but they really went overboard and it looks useless now.

Are there any other angles? I'm having trouble seeing how that's the same house haha

I'll have you know I worked my fingers to the bone to get where I am today.
So that pillar is roughly where the fridge is in the first shot, right? Maybe they moved the sink a bit but they can't have taken it far, that back wall has to be the same wall the cuckoo clock. So from the first kitchen I guess you have a space to the left of you, presumably a living room or dining room or something. I can't tell if that is the start of another wall on the left there, but it's either all part of one room with a different random pillar, or it's a small hallway because that grandfather clock is up against the wall and not very far away. And then beyond that you've got another room unseen, out where the second window is in the all-white version of the house. Yeah, I can see it all being the same space.

You've got a bedroom at the back where that one big window is, a main room towards your left where the second one is, and you're in the kitchen but slightly to the left of where the first picture is taken from. The confusing thing is they've decided to take out every wall in the house and just leave one pillar. Presumably the photographer has decided on that angle to hide the open-air toilet hanging out behind them.

"Leave" is even generous, from the look of it that pillar wasn't there before so it's a new structural edition when they took out the walls. So why make it so large and so close to the kitchen?

Exact same reason my parent's builders recoiled in horror I would imagine. That big hole (for a breakfast bar) in their kitchen went right through a load bearing wall.

I've managed to take out all the load bearing walls in the back of my house with no pillars, putting the weight on in-wall piers. I can see circumstances where you might need one anyway but surely not so big and in exactly that spot.

Yeah, it seems to be the same size as the pillar by the grandfather clock. But in the second picture that pillar seems to be as close to the sink as the fridge was in the first picture. So either they moved the pillar, or the moved the sink wall.
