HashtagGirlboss posted:My downstairs bathroom has a pocket door but if I ever had to replace it I think Id just do a barn door to save the work of ripping everything out but the plan is generally not to need to replace it. Anyway, pocket doors are cooler than barn doors anyway. They hide in the wall! If replace it with a barn door and you have any pets, they will watch your guests piss.

This was a pretty fun read about Canadian housing prices https://macleans.ca/longforms/the-end-of-homeownership/amp/ quote:This living arrangement marks me as a member of an under-discussed demographic: the nepo babies of the housing market. Since 1977, homeowners have acquired more than $3.2 trillion dollars in wealth, which today is flowing downward to their children, amplifying inequality across generations. Im grateful for my circumstances, but I know it has nothing to do with my own virtue or achievement. Canadas housing market is no more meritocratic than a lotteryand some of us hold winning tickets printed long before we were born.

Why are open cabinets stupid? Opening doors to grab a cup seems to be one additional step we can remove from our lives with minimal drawbacks. What, you don't want to stare at my 90s McDonalds Batman cup collection? That's a "you" problem.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:if you use your stovetop a lot, you'll wonder why the "clean" dishes in your open cupboard are dirty all the time For the first point, sounds like fume hoods need more enforcement. I have a collection of mid-century tea and coffee porcelain from the USSR/Russia and it's dirty from just years of non-use (no three-letter alphabet agencies have come by to take away my husband -- yet). All other dishes get used and cycled through on the daily. This doesn't sound like a big issue. The big issue is having to move more muscles than any ape should throughout the day. I'm pro-kill-cabinets.

Recirculating vents are ok with the carbon filters in place but theyre usually not included and most people dont even know theyre supposed to be in there

My kitchen doesn't have any vents or even windows that open to the outside (the kitchen windows go to a hallway that was added to connect the garage to the house, the bathroom window also goes into this hallway), so I use a corsi cube whenever I cook on the stove, works pretty well for sucking up all the smoke.

i just have a carbon filter vent under the microwave, but i don't use the stovetop often (not at all in warmer months), and when I do it's usually something that's covered (most often a dutch oven) so that helps.

My place has a recirculating range (blows back into the room) with no carbon filter. I don't think the lack of carbon filter is that bad for us as we're vegetarians and so we don't do a lot of high-heat oily/smoky frying, but the lack of external exhaust sucks when you're doing very steamy cooking in winter as then all the windows fog up with condensation. It's right next to an external wall so it should be fairly easy to duct outside, it's just not high enough on the priority list to spend our limited cash on. It's actually illegal to rent out a house without an external venting range in the kitchen here now (we own this house though so it's just up to us to fix it) but like all rental property regulations I'd guess that there's exactly zero enforcement.

I've lived in a lovely apartment for over a decade and there's a vent over the stove that vents into your face with a metal filter that was dirty when I moved in. I don't bother to turn it on, ever. as a result the walls and cabinets are sticky because I cook all the time. it's disgusting. someone buy me a house

The house they buy you will probably have this same problem because range hoods with proper vents are incredibly rare. What's funnier is that most people don't even realize the hood is just blasting grease back at them.

I've seen a $1m house where the master bathroom was an en suite essentially divided from the rest of the room by a massive frosted glass stall partition. Like the wall dividing the bathroom and bedroom was not in any way floor to ceiling. If you're lying in bed you just gotta stare at your partner's toilet feet while they take a poo poo.

Big things happening in Canada! banks in Canada have allowed people to extend amortizations on variable rate mortgages when rates started to shoot up so now there are people with like 60 year amortization rates and they're being given until the end of the year to increase payments so that their mortgages can be dropped back to 25 years
