It's a great place to put the old cordless landline phone so you'd have to run down the stairs to answer it.

Something I have been meaning to ask is whats the deal with the fiberglass insulation in american crawlspaces? I have seen dozens of pics of crawlspaces and they all feature apparently unsupported loose fiberglass that is either hanging down or has all fallen out completely, do the builders just cram the batts in between the joists and hope they stay there long enough to finish the house?

Sir I don't think you get how to American construction. OBVIOUSLY that's what's done - are you suggesting they should take the time to either use better insulation that isn't prone to mold or somehow fasten the cheap insulation better so it doesn't fall out? Absurd - that would add at least 0.5% to the cost of the house are you insane.

Usually you take a roll of fiberglass insulation, stuff it in place, and then use a stiff wire a bit longer than the joist space and with the ends cut at an angle so they're pointy and push the wire in so it makes an arch between the joists and holds the insulation up. The wire is cheap, easy to install, and works surprisingly well until something disturbs the insulation. Keeping the insulation undisturbed is outside the scope of this installation.

Or the backing paper on the battens is an inch wider than the rafter space on either side and you run up and down the rafters with a staple gun.

This works until either the paper fails from humidity, or you have to move it to work under it precisely once.

That's probably the more common method, but I was trying to abide by the "Warning: this facing will burn and must not be left exposed" notice printed on the paper and ignored that as an option.

I think the window used to be a doorway, look at the double frame. Also, all the plumbing is running through the exterior wall. At least they separated the bathroom flooring from the carpeted living room flooring. Maybe building a separate wall was not in the budget

That's actually possibly an accessibility thing going on there. My mom's parkinsons has gotten severe, and she has incontinence problems. With her mobility, the ideal situation is a toilet right next to the bed that she can get to in a minute without help. Without that, she has to wear adult diapers, and she gets a lot of anxiety about it and it's unpleasant etc. For a while when she was at my sisters they set up a portable toilet in a bedroom closet right next to her bed, so the door could be closed to keep it out of sight during the day and open so she'd have a toilet right there at night.

Anyway the shower is a bit more but for someone who can barely get up, it might be a lot nicer than having to transfer to a wheelchair to get to a bathroom down a hall. And with no lip, showering in a wet chair is also an option, might be hard to convert the nearest proper bathroom to that.

The bar right next to the toilet, the showerhead designed to work high and low, that all suggests a similar situation to me.
