Lol saw the photo of the stairs and was thinking it was a little sus, wasn't expecting a whole zig zaggy bridge of death. The more you look at it, the more stuff you notice. It's got to be intentional right? Were they expecting people to storm their house and they wanted natural defensible places or something?

You all scoff, but what you see there represents the pinnacle of high-end residential design on the N64 there's even spots where Link can jump directly down to the ground floor after he's done smashing your pots and smacking your Cuccos

The carpet pattern across the entire house is atrocious. Also the kitchen island being low enough for a person to fully sit on when it's only made of wood has me surprised it hasn't already snapped in half. e: Groverhaus window!

This one is cheating because it's a combo retail / workshop / residential thing that needs major work, but I'm still going to post a couple of pics, including: Basement bedroom, I guess?

Only if you're doing structural work as far as I'm aware and even then you would probably only bother if it's visible from the outside. If you cut your own bannister off who can stop you?

Arsenic Lupin posted:That handrail-less staircase would be so illegal in the US. Aren't there building inspections after remodeling in the UK? Not really. In theory there's a long lost of specific changes that require you to notify the local authority or a regulator, like any significant new electrical, gas or plumbing installations, or anything load bearing, or anything that changes the windows or converts a garage or a loft or splitting or combining units. In practice, since it's self reported, your average homeowner and dodgy builder will probably never bother to do so and the local authority is probably too cash strapped to pay attention, and even if it is notified a lot of it is self certifiable by the contractor, and audits of that is very rare. If its not a major project and you're not drawing attention for some other reasons like noise complaints or someone getting hurt, you can probably just get away with doing whatever.

DrBouvenstein posted:Why is no asking the BIG question: That's not that weird. I lived in a house once that had the kitchen next to the living room with a similar setup. Like, the counters of the kitchen made a U shape and there was a couch against the far wall. So kind of like U |. If we had friends over and we were making food there could be two or three people in the kitchen doing stuff and another two or three people on the couch. Everyone could chat and it was a pretty chill setup

DrBouvenstein posted:Why is no asking the BIG question: I admit it looks silly but at, like, 95% of house parties I've been to people end up hanging out in the kitchen for the entire night, leaning on counters and walls, so if you have the room to spare I think it's a great idea!

People can never avoid the kitchen, which is why you should never have food or drinks in the kitchen at a party. They should always be located in a room that has seating, so that people refill on food or drinks, then sit down in there, rather than standing around in the kitchen.

When I entertain I simply adjourn to the butler's pantry to finish preparing crudité and hors d'oeuvres, while my guests arrive via the carriage house. The butler's pantry is the only room on the main floor of the public wing without parquet flooring, so the guests know not to enter on their way to the summer ballroom

I put all the food and drink in the bathroom, so guest can lose some liquid than gain some liquid. It's all about keeping the amount of liquids in the guest in perfect balance and that helps. If the guest humors mis-align than oh boy, that's gonna be all sorts of trouble!

If you drink canned alcoholic beverages in a bathroom that is equipped with a shower bath, you and your guests can throw your empties into said shower bath, which is a lot of fun and makes lots of noise, and makes post-party cleanup a cinch!
