Found the worst kitchen layout



Note the minimal electrical outlets, the stove across the room from the countertop workspace, position of the stove in the direct path of the traffic pattern, useless narrow desk/bar area, and fridge in the butler's pantry. Cooking a meal in here must be infuriating.

Why do SO MANY house have a little desk/work niche in the kitchen that is ill-suited for both office work and kitchen work?

We have a few webcams in our apartment but they are only plugged in when we're gone, so we can watch the cats/get alerts for movement at the door.

Google Streetview of a house I pass on my way to work sometimes.



It appears that two houses backed into each other and got stuck. Or maybe someone was just playing with the "flip horizontal" tool and it made it to the final plans.

Could it be a crappy duplex?

I found a less distorted photo from its old rental listing

I have the same trashcan (from the local valet trash collection company that does a bunch of apartments in the city). I checked with my own oven and a space the width of the trashcan allows for the door to open only at a ~45 degree angle, rendering the bottom rack inaccessible. :ms:

I like the scratches on the cabinet from being hit with the oven door a thousand times.

So this real estate lady I know had this story.

She s looking at houses in the blue collar/red neck/meth/ former KKK side of town. That near the oil fields. The family basically wanting a property with a mother in law unit in the back.

So the front house has a old lady in it and the back house has this younger woman, the back house is just an apartment above a garage with alley access.

The lady in the back answer the door in a shirt and panties and goes "oh yeah thats right....well my husbands a trucker and he came through last night....so keep in open mind.

The showing goes well till they get to the bed room which has a sex swing mounted to a A fram engine hoist over the bed. The woman was a prostitute and just sat on the couch asking them to keep an open mind.

Seems like the problem is less the swing and more the gossipy judgmental real estate lady.

If I had a bunch of spare cash I would be buying up land in Michigan's upper peninsula. I've seen at least one article (study? idk) saying the UP will be last area of the lower 48 not hit with constant draught/wildfires/sea level rise/other natural disasters by 2100. The Marquette area is especially nice imho, and even has pretty good fiber availability if you wanted to relocate there right now, which probably can't be said for middle of nowhere Alaska, Montana, or Wyoming.

Winters will be nice in 2100, but they sure suck there right now.

Because then it's a pain in the rear end for janitors to mop it. Putting them clear to the floor would also induce a lot of claustrophobic panic attacks.

Seems like other countries with more enclosed bathrooms do okay without constant panic attacks.

Edit: I always assumed the lack of privacy in American toilets was a holdover from the puritans, to make it easier to tattle on people for anything and everything.

Cat access?

When my dad rented a house on a hillside without a cat door he cut a hole in the floor underneath one of the kitchen cabinets, placed a plank as a ramp leading to the ground below, took the cupboard door off and replaced it with a little curtain.

When he moved out he put the floor section back in and re-mounted the cupboard door.

Reminds me of the door for returning racing pigeons.

You know what’s really unpleasant? Moving a wooden box. There has to be a better way!

I know! We’ll dig up a vast quantity of excrement out of a hole in the ground and move that instead.

Many, many outhouses are just composting toilets. Depending on the volume of poo poo you're putting in there, the size of the hole, the temp and humidity, the amount of lime you use for de-stinkifying, the poop breaks down and you use the same outhouse in the same place indefinitely.

Others don't have a hole but a container (sometimes as simple as a bucket) that is regularly removed and dumped elsewhere. This is easier than moving a shed-like building and digging another large hole.
