It’s just a Warframe extraction point, for when a squad of four Tenno are done painting the walls with your plagued, electrified, incinerated remains.

Since people seemed to like the last post, here's a few more houses. I think I will focus on a specific type of house for this. Front Houses This style of house was built a lot after WW2 ended. There was a need for housing after the war. Around 11% of the countrys population had been relocated when they fled from Karelia as the Soviet Union annexed it and the nazis pretty much razed Lappland to the ground when retreating back to Norway. To help alleviate the need for housing the government gave out favorable loans as well as commissioned several set of standardized plans for building houses. These houses came to be known as "rintamamiestalo" / "frontmannahus" (swe), translates to front houses, in reference to soldiers returning from the front lines.  Insulation in these houses was most often sawdust and shavings and wooden paneling for a facade. The original design of the structure was lifted from 1930s american homes and adapted for finnish use. Common for these houses is a 1.5 floorplan and often there is a cellar. Centrally located in the house was the chimney and there would be a fireplace at least in one room. So this meant the brick chimney would get warm with use and heat all the rooms connected to it, which was all of them. A woodstove in the kitchen was also connected to this same chimney. The warm chimney structure also contributes to a self-circulation of air in the structure and works to keep mold away. Originally most front houses had a toilet, but not a shower or bathroom. It was more common then to have a separate structure for washing up and doing laundry in, this also housed the sauna. This was the layout in my granddads house, though later on they retrofitted a shower and proper bathroom sometime in the 80s. First house, pretty typical, though modernized on the inside, outside looks like it could use some new paint:  https://www.etuovi.com/kohde/1288240 Here's a house with a different type of panelling, I am not sure if these contain asbestos or not but it's a mineral based type of sheeting, quite common here, I think it looks terrible:  https://www.etuovi.com/kohde/692597 I selected this house because it has an original woodstove in the kitchen and a pönttöuuni as well (white). This house looks to have not gone through that many retrofits. Also not a very large house.  https://www.etuovi.com/kohde/20224165 This house is nothing fancy on the outside, inside seems to be all new however. Very modern scandinavian to me. The facade on this house is plaster.  https://www.etuovi.com/kohde/680527 EDIT: Oh and yes, most houses do have saunas here. And public places like pools also have them.

We went to front house showing some months ago and the sauna was built into an L shaped corridor in the basement, with doors in each end. To reach the furnace you had to walk through the sauna. I'm also 160cm and had to bow my head while in the sauna part. It was... interesting. No plastic though!

Is the white part at the top of the wall a support for it? Also my ceiling isn't completely the same height, on some of the sides it drops down a foot, so I'd imagine that'd be quite difficult. It looks like it drops down to contain the ductwork.

actionjackson posted:Is the white part at the top of the wall a support for it? That is called molding (or moulding). It is decorative and is there to hide any sloppiness in the fit between paneling and wall, and it is aesthetically pleasing and eases the transition between wall and ceiling. It visually 'supports' the ceiling, as you noted-it makes it look more natural and supported. The paneling is nailed to the ceiling joists.

thanks for the replies in regards to beadboard. Is that something that can be applied on top of popcorn ceiling texture? That was one alternative I had considered to getting it removed and then smoothed. I'm very familiar with mouldings, I just recall watching some youtube video from a person who installed this stuff that sometimes you also need something there for support if the ceiling cannot support the additional weight added by placing the beadboard directly over the ceiling. actionjackson fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Nov 24, 2020 |

It's cool to see these things. I think the laundry area was the shower, they probably only keep the machines in there then sort and fold the laundry elsewhere. Seeing a washing machine and dryer is quite unusual in my experience btw. As for #2 I guess it might have been a dedicated sauna / washing room or something in the past, who knows now. When I grew up we had the washing machine and shower in the boiler building for the greenhouses (parents where greenhouse farmers) behind our house. Even though our house (1977 built) was modern enough to be built with a proper bathroom we hardly ever used it. Norm was to walk the 30-40 meters to the boiler room and do your cleaning up there. It was quite an odd bathroom, bare concrete, bare unpainted dry wall and oily machinery and lots of pipes, looked like an engine room. Then in the corner there was an improvised shower corner with some clinkers and stuff and a plastic separator dad made from plastic sheeting and stainless square-tubing. The upside of this place was it was always 30 degrees C or so in there so we bothered with the trip even in winter time because it was so warm and nice to shower in.

That was one alternative I had considered to getting it removed and then smoothed. If the ceiling can't support the additional weight added by beadboard, the ceiling is going to fall down on its own because you looked at it angrily. It weighs less than 1lb/sqft, and you attach it directly to the joists, not to the drywall.

I'd imagine both having beadboard installed vs. removing the popcorn ceiling and painting are both going to be several thousand dollars minimum. Youth Decay posted:

my popcorn is very small and not that noticeable, so I'm guessing it would work fine then, though if it's not that noticeable I should probably not be spending thousands of dollars to cover it up!

If it's within your budget, I say do it. It's a pretty big change to a living space. I'm still so happy with my bedroom ceiling which went from truly awful drop ceiling tiles to the absolute smoothest plaster job. Now, granted the drop ceiling needed replacing, but every time I look at that ceiling I enjoy just how very nice it looks.

I've most commonly seen estimates of 2-2.50/SF for the total process of removal, "cleaning up" the surface, and painting. Right now though I've found that contractors only want to do large jobs (i.e. big houses) because they are so busy. Doing like 800 SF isn't exactly a high priority :p actionjackson fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Nov 24, 2020 |
