His Divine Shadow posted:In a modern house like ours (built 2013) with a modern "pönttöuuni" with secondary combustion of the flue gasses, in addition to the traditional deign of smoke channels to extract heat, we're around 70-80% efficiency. Even "antique" masonry heaters are pretty efficient; they figured out pulling air* back down from the chimney ages ago (no idea how it works). *) Well, "air".

Back in mid-July when we were posting rooms we liked, someone posted an Arts and Crafts/20s room with wood paneling and above that, handpainted landscape wallpaper. I looked back but couldn't find it. There's some broken images. Does anyone have that?

Looks like the house got pulled off the market so the original listing was deleted but the photos are still in that blog post. This house is in the Shingle style which was kind of the bridge from Queen Anne Victorian to Craftsman styling. It's really hard to find a Shingle style house that hasn't been remodeled into modern farmhouse/beachhouse oblivion but I guess this one being in Sioux Falls, SD saved it from the fate of its fellows on the East Coast.

maybe a chimney at one end of the house is marginally less likely to set your roof on fire than one in the middle of the house? Since roof fires were incredibly common due to not using slate or tile roofs in most of america for most of its history I kinda wonder if you don't just orient your house so the wall with the chimney is downwind of the prevailing wind, and that carries all the sparks away from the roof. (to burn down your neighbors roof, but gently caress that guy lol)

Speaking of wallpaper: I've been thinking of getting some for a wall in my new place but I realized I have no idea how to shop for it. Are there brands to avoid? Good brands? Things to look for other than "do I like the pattern"?

We do have stainless in our house, but white would have been fine. It does have advantages and does look nice.

mutata posted:And it wouldn't even matter because ain't nobody climbing up there to actually get any of those books. Exactly! This would be perfect for my wife, who refuses to part ways with virtually any book she buys, yet rarely revisits them. With this, you have book storage that's visually striking but out of the way. But yeah, I too would toss the ladder real quick and maybe replace it with a collapsible fire-escape style one.

The gently caress is going on with that laptop? I imagined sitting in the chair and scooting back, slamming into the ladder and knocking it over, then tossing the ladder outside and enjoying my giant half-circle desk. But then I really noticed the laptop and recoiled.

The ladder probably doesn't live there 24/7. But if they didn't have it in the shot, a dozen dipshits would be going "it's so impractical, what do you do, fly?? Whose home is it, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's???"

Clunky, but for the time, the only laptop that you could take into field conditions and have it survive. The room is Wade Davis's writing studio, designed by Travis Price Architects. Travis Price does some awesome work.

 I like everything about this comfy alcove except. That. You know what that is. It looks like a table, but it just isn't. What the christ is that. Like tumorous inverted intestinal linings, but made into a table and also it's made of minerals. Imagine hitting your bare leg against that. You'd shear the skin off. It would deglove you, in a way.

I got that off a tumblr post that only linked to an entire instagram profile and not the IG post itself so I don't know anymore more than 'what the gently caress is that pink thing'. As some penance, here's a nice looking house. Galvani House / Christian Pottgiesser - architecturespossibles.         Downsides: suffers from SSS [stupid stair syndrome] terrible voyeur windows has dirt you cannot vacuum?? really not friendly to anyone with mobility issues
