You still have toilet paper just dab dry with that, don’t put out a normal towel, that’s insane.

I feel like it could be so much better just with decent finished materials. The little office space is cool and I like how the house feels like an extension of the outdoors but the cinderblock-concrete-OSB-plywood junk ruins it.

The architect John Zamenak sounds like he was a pretty cool guy though

Consumerism is not so much about consuming or enjoying as it is about controlling. Consumerism is an instrument of social and political control. You know, our constitution says nothing about capitalism; we have been conditioned to believe that capitalism and democracy are inseparable, but this is not true at all. Advanced capitalism, which is where we are today, is simply another name for consumer culture. There is no cumulative gain in consuming for the sake of consuming — it is an escape from reality, just as it is an escape for architecture to turn to applied ornament or other spectacular devices to justify its existence. Mainstream Americans are addicted to consumerism in order to escape the boredom of reality — reality is that “eternal vigilance” vital to liberty. It is “writ large” in architecture, computer games, iPods, NASCAR ... . To cope with the 9/11 tragedy, the President advised Americans to go shopping, and they did. To democracy, advanced capitalism is the tail that wags the dog. Optimistically, architecture will return to meeting people’s real needs; it will be self-ornamenting.

quote:

Evansville's preeminent geodesic dome house is on the market, and it's time to see it in a new light. Designed in 1981 by local husband and wife team Dr. Sandy Schen and restauranteur Jacquie Schen, no other home offers the perfection of early 1980s/1990s high-end contemporary design, immense scale, and an oasis of landscaped acreage on Newburgh Road. With two domes, one soaring to nearly 28 feet on the interior, the roots of Buckminster Fuller are twice as prevalent here. Featuring over 12,000 square feet of living space, the home's major goal is prevalent throughout: to entertain family and friends, both near and far. The main level is flooded with natural light, bringing the outside in to the home's three formal dining areas, two master suites, executive library, and the living area in the smaller dome - large enough for dining, sitting, and a concert grand piano. Domed ceilings show the signature transition from hexagons above to pentagons below. Custom art made for the home graces the soaring stairwell, while the open kitchen with commercial grade appliances anchors the heart of the home. The original master suite sits just off the kitchen and cork-floored dining area and works perfectly for private guest quarters. Featuring a vibrant accent wall of hand-painted French wall-paper, the home's original thrust of contemporary design is clear here - from clean contrasting tile floor, white track lighting, and en suite with Corian shower and soaker tub. The curved kitchen opens into the enormous 1990s addition, which includes a second open access to the finished basement, a vast entertaining and living area, and a Las Vegas worthy master suite boasting his and hers walk-in closets, copious amounts of Corian in the tub surround and walk in shower, and a walk-out to the inn-worthy rear covered deck. The home's three other bedrooms lie in the larger of the two domes, each with their own loft spaces, two connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Below grade, in the expansive walkout basement, sits a billiards area, executive office, 4th dining area, entertainment space with wet bar and dry bar, guest suite, music/theater room, and wine room. Outside, the original pool house welcomes you into a focal point of entertaining and hospitality with kitchen, guest suite, and open living area - all walking right out to the diving board, the home's sunset view to the west flanking the entire resort of architectural experience. Two domes. Two words. Geodesic deliciousness.

It's like someone described what chinoiserie is to someone who never heard of it and did their best to decorate in that vein with a 5k budget. I dont know what's better: the sofa chairs made of kimono scraps or the tapestry depicting a mystical chinese man. Why os there an oil painting of a white business man?

The Singapore Airline's business class lounge had this kind of bidet thing in the restrooms at the Changi airport and I could not figure out how you would use this and not make a huge mess or splash water everywhere. The water pressure seemed very high.

It felt archaic coming from Japan, the capital of happy poop time.

Hey I'm back from a year ago. I ran out of money but will be getting new flooring soon. I used to have carpet, but my dog has been having urinary issues so I figure this is as good a time as any to replace it. Plus the carpet is eight years old and is generally kind of gross. I'll be getting these vinyl planks.

They look to have enough "stickiness" which is what I want given I have a dog. I did look at some laminate that achieved the same effect by having cuts in it, but didn't find a color I preferred to this.

On one hand I'm thinking "hey I could install this" but then I realize that while I might do okay with the main pieces, anything where I have to cut pieces to fill in the little gaps I'd gently caress up.

What do you mean by little gaps?

Laying laminate, I found the learning curve not too bad. I had the most trouble undercutting ancient and very dense door jambs & then laying the laminate properly at the undercuts, I was most frustrated by getting the underlayment perfect, and I otherwise wasted about $75.00 of material cutting and re-cutting.

Oh I just mean when you get to the end of a row, or have an angle or around vents, cabinetry, etc. you have to cut smaller pieces to fit into those areas.

Also if there was an issue with the underlying concrete or whatever I would have no idea how to detect any of that, nor the tools to repair it.

I'm just not good at this stuff, and it's way too important to gently caress up.
