I always find these neighbourhoods where no one has any fences and all the houses float without any context in an empty unused sea of green grass really depressing or empty feeling.

Well, the one in that picture up there is in the middle of a farm field. That's all gonna be corn or soy or something half the year, the little bit of grass won't really seem significant at that point.

So we moved in to this house October 2016. We have an 18 month old and both work full time jobs so it's been pretty hard to keep up with keeping the whole house moving forward, but I'd like to do a slight update to the basement. Does anyone have a good website for light fixtures? The previous owner bizarrely put this track lighting fixture in the ceiling with halogen bulbs. I don't want to put in a boob light, but I can't have anything that dangles too badly as the fixture is right over my computer which has a #neckbeard VR setup.

How high is the basement ceiling? Recessed cans are often a popular option for basements. Don't make the mistake of replacing every light in your house with them, but in a basement? They're great.

There are a variety of Flush Mount Ceiling fixtures, one of which is likely to meet your requirements and also not be a boob light.

I broke the 2300K rule and put recessed lights throughout the house, but that's on the basis that they're there for when I need to loving see please, with lamps and other less glaring lighting for normal use.

At least put them in a more interesting pattern than "regular square grid". Get some Fibonacci spirals and fractal patterns going.

Just put them all in one spot, clustered as tight as you can get them, just enough off center in the space that nothing lines up right. Use a combination of led, cfl, and incandescents, all of different color temps.

The sparky fitted the lights in my downstairs bathroom slightly out of line and it is irritating the gently caress out of me and the builder as we both have the same frustrated attention to detail.

Hello, can I interest you in this castle? Built in 1946 and mint condition.        Conversation pit? No, conversation turret!  I've never seen a walk-in shower like this in a house from this period. Beautiful tilework.  I'm in love. It's mid-century styling applied to "old" architectural forms - not mid-century modern, but mid-century medieval.

This is so clever I feel like I should have seen it before. Pull-down spice racks on the underside of your cabinets seems like an amazing use of spare space. Maybe not especially relevant in a gigantic kitchen, but I could see it being very useful in smaller one-person kitchens.

This is one of the weirdest unit plans I've ever seen. What the hell would you even use that long thin room to the right of the stairwell for? It's exactly 3' wide and 17' long. I guess you could have a really shallow shelf running down one side? But it doesn't even connect to a bedroom, it connects to a little 7x7 room, which is awkwardly off the small 10x11 bedroom. It's like they just had some extra space left in the building and shrugged and divided things up into a random chain of rooms.

I"m also working on a brand new building that is a crematorium, autopsy and cold storage, and "witness viewing area" on the main floor and a lovely apartment on the 2nd. Nice live/work arrangement I guess?

It’s relatively common in the UK, also good for finding cheap flats to rent because people are perfectly happy to pay well under the going rent rate for the inconvenience of being able to hear drunk people shouting in the kebab shop below for a few hours a night.

It sounds good to me because they have erratic work hours. I didn't expect an on-site crematorium, is it in a remote neighborhood? Homes above shops are very common here in both old and new houses  Basic "residential" zoning still allows for shops and house-sized warehouses so people can easily open a hair salon or keep a proper office in an extra room without special permitting. http://www.realestate-tokyo.com/news/land-use-zones-in-japan/ peanut fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Feb 3, 2018 |
