You get in that shower and you're not getting out in the same room. Possibly it outputs you into the bath dais room.

I like the little touches, like how the seat isn't straight over the bowel either, and just leans a bit to the right, meaning your going to be sitting off center slightly.

*Scrolling down* "No." "No." "NO." "NO!" Okay that's a weird number of identical tables, kind of reminds me of a cross between a house and a restaurant, makes me wonder a bit, but I guess it has a nice warm look to it... let's move on... "No." "NO." "NO!!!!" lol

I kinda love the pink bathroom; it's unapologetically what it is. It's a wholly formed aesthetic, not a mishmash of ideas from [insert your favorite home dec magazine]. Of course, I'd kill myself by tripping over the rim when getting out of the shower, but you must suffer for beauty. I think the way that the coved tiles taper into the painted part of the walls is especially keen, and much prettier than the standard straight line.

At least that shower is trying to solve a problem, even if it might not do it well. I've seen an upward trend in the "build a house, renovate a house, buy a house, etc." shows on tv with showers that are either just wide open to the rest of the restroom or have a tiny piece of near useless glass as a partition. I'm all for a shower stall, don't get me wrong I actually prefer them, even a partially open one. However, I don't want to go in to use the toilet and have it be drenched wet from a recent shower someone took accompanied by some gross soggy toilet paper because the shower head is right there 3 feet away and there's just a drain in the middle of the wet floor because someone thought that was a good idea. It seems like one of those decisions where I automatically go "no, the aesthetics do not outweigh the functionality here, it only took me 2 seconds to figure that one out and I didn't even use it".

Pretty much every hotel renovated in the last decade does their showers that way, and it's terrible.

I could deal with it for an extended weekend or whatever without it bothering me too much. There's no way I'm intentionally making that decision at a place I plan to live in long term, and might have some choice words with anyone who did.

Lynx posted:Anyone have an extra dollar they feel like burning? There's a TV series on the HGTV channel based on this called "Bargain Block". A pair of guys buy mostly horrible, trashed, dirt cheap bungalows in run down Michigan neighborhoods (like where this one is, in Pontiac, a suburb of Detroit). Typically because of stupid government regulations, it's often going to be much more expensive to demo the entire thing and start over than to fix up even the most horrible places, and most people just don't want to deal with it. Compared to the condition of many of the places those guys start with, that listing is absolutely luxurious. We're talking like "it was on fire, which unfortunately didn't kill all the mold, the walls that haven't fallen down are trashed, and as you can see and smell it has been used as a combination trash dump and giant toilet for years" levels of bad. As some of these Michigan neighborhoods are well known as being largely abandoned and in disrepair, there's no lack of these properties. So what these guys do is go down the street, try to get multiple houses on the same street or nearby for cheap, and they in effect end up fixing up much of a neighborhood. This is not only good for the people still living nearby, but also helps drive up their selling price on multiple units when the area just got better as the previous neighborhood eyesores are now some of the nicer houses on the block. They fully reno and furnish each place, and the one guy makes some... "questionable" design choices and typically goes with whatever theme his rather artsy mind comes up with at the time (think, this is the beach in winter themed house, this is the 50's diner themed house, this is the "oops, all purple" themed house, etc.). This often drives his partner crazy, because not only do they have to actually sell them and some of them can get pretty strange, but at least in the first season or two the guys are typically working on two houses at once, living in the one in rougher shape while they finish up the one that's closer to ready to sell. However, there's no denying that everything they touch ends up better. It's a fairly fun show for anyone who likes renovation type tv programs.

I mean, the Bargain Block guys are buying homes from the Detroit Land Bank for say $8-10k, rehabbing them, and selling them for usually less than $100k because the neighborhoods they're in (in the city of Detroit, not anywhere near Pontiac which is a 45min drive away) have historically depressed home values due to a whole lot of reasons. The house in Pontiac is listed at $1 to start a bidding war. I think the only similarities here is that both examples are in Michigan. The reason this is happening is a lot more nuanced than just "most people just don't want to deal with [rehabbing homes in their own neighborhood]".

Twenty Four posted:stupid government regulations Tezer posted:Which ones? I'm not sure if you're joking, because there's so many, but one example in this specific case is where in many geographical areas what code regulations a house or building has to be compliant with is based on the year it was built. Not necessarily the whole building, but often just "enough" of the guts, which can vary. The part that makes sense is it's supposed to help keep the government or developers from tearing down peoples houses or businesses on technicalities based on ulterior motives, keeping historical buildings from being destroyed, and prevent strong-arming poor people out of their homes. Not that these things can't and don't happen anyways, but it's the more sensible reasoning. The dumb part is where it would make more sense to demo a trashed building and start over, but regulations require you keep, say, the old foundation and a certain number of crumbling walls standing from the original structure to skirt regulations. This can lead to companies cutting corners and getting away with making cheap inferior buildings because they left a slab and wall up from 1920 or whatever so it's held to the old code from that year. Or "if you tear down the second building on this property, you can never build another one with current zoning, so either leave it, fix it, or it's gone forever" and they just sit in a dilapidated state. Also, for "historical reasons" sometimes you can't tear down some shithole house no one cares about because it was built in 1945 or whatever, and no one wants to pay to renovate it, so despite having no real historical relevance it remains vacant. So, because of code and zoning regulations, that's one of many reasons certain run-down abandoned buildings are left to continue to deteriorate, because the financial red tape makes them either financially unfeasible, or a lot of jumping through hoops. That also contributes to urban sprawl, where it can be cheaper to just build something new on the edge of town than fix existing locations with all the bureaucracy and fees that can come with them.
