Paradoxish posted:Any detached house in my area that's even vaguely affordable is guaranteed to have less than 2 full bathrooms. It's the one thing that can still completely poison a house's sale value because only single people and childless couples are willing to put up with sharing one shower. This is super common where I live too. One bathroom, no air condition, unfinished basement, ‘garage’ that is a detached deteriorated shed is what you get around here for under half a million lol

Barn doors for a bedroom closet? And this is in a well-maintained 100 year old home near downtown in my smallish city. $400k for 1,400 square feet in Minnesota lol.

Barn doors go everywhere. Put them everywhere. Barn door showers. Barn door cabinets. Got an empty wall? Put some loving barn doors that lead nowhere on it. Put barn doors across your hallway, don't worry about how you're going to open them. Your front door should be a barn door. If the primary structural component in your home isn't barn doors, what are you even doing.

"Everyone needs their own shower or the house will collapse into a cloud of mold" is the same sort of line as "everyone needs a three row SUV if they need kids," it's an excuse for the bougie excess you want to do anyway.

Our closets all had sliding doors (not exactly barn doors) that block off half of the closet even when they're open, so they've been disconnecting and placed in the laundry room for several years. Useless.

HGTV illusion that contractors are going to not fleece you. the best HGTV show ever was real estate intervention. people just telling their horror stories of over extending and getting themselves in real poo poo. there is no room these days for shows that break the illusion. the closest is Holmes on homes but Holmes has been exiled to DIY network in the states.

This is from a house near me, has the exact same layout as mine  In order to make an en suite master bath they took the bonus room, blocked access to it from the central hallway, and punched a door into the wall from the second bedroom (which is now the master). Barn door of course, because gently caress you (also that picture's stretched to make it look bigger)

They took the original bathroom and shaved a foot off / removed a closet so the house could have a second floor laundry when these places traditionally put them in the basement. So now what was formerly the main bathroom sucks rear end and now you have a laundry room that isn't wide enough to open a front loader door. e: lol they kept the floorplan up  That "laundry" is made up from two perpendicular closets and a foot that was scraped out of the bathroom adjacent, and the owner's bath occupies the third bedroom / office space. enjoy zero storage space I guess Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud has issued a correction as of 20:07 on Jan 20, 2023 |

euphronius posted:less than 2 baths is a tough sell a bunch of houses in our development have a pittsburgh shitter in the garage/basement of their split levels; and we were heckling one guy who took it out because its like what if you need to poo poo and the other bathroom is occupied! you're nuts! we have a tiny kitchen without an island that seemed big coming from a poverty apartment but sucks horribly (and you have to go between the fridge and stove to get to the back door, basement door, and half bath); every other house has huge renovations to their kitchens. i guess when they were all built in the 40s/50s the assumption was the wife would stay at home cooking all day and no one would get in her way, but when two adults are both trying to use things to cook after work its just terrible.

Old houses have small kitchens because the expectation was that the servant would do the cooking. My dad's house (1926) had a servant quarters off the kitchen behind the pantry.

It's true, every house built in 1926 or before had live-in servants. Every single one.

The explanation may have more to do with older houses having dedicated dining rooms where people ate and less to do with every old house coming with hereditary servants

Woke Mind Virus posted:1 bathroom is fine but if i'm paying todays prices i'm getting 1.5 at least This. I don't care if it's a Jack and Jill bathroom but I would like a spare shitter. Anyone who's had date night at Chili's understands why you need two shitters. What I really want is a plumbed outhouse hooked to septic. Split farmhouse style door with a screen for the top, so I can wave at the neighbors as they drive off for work. Might as well put an outlet and a light out there, too. Just a free standing 4'x4' insulated building solely for taking shits, while a cool desert breeze takes care of ventilation.

Where I want to build, you can just put the shower head outside. Until winter. Which is why the poo poo shack would be insulated.
