Look at all that wasted space. Could have fit another shelf into each one easily. And rhyming "varnish" with "finished", really?

There's a house like that in my town, except it's right in the main pedestrian zone, in a huge tourist area. Whoever owns the place could probably make a killing in rent for the apartments and ground floor shops, instead it's falling apart so badly that the town has had to put up a sign saying "it doesn't belong to us, we're trying to do something about it but our hands are tied." And also "for the love of god don't go in." Granted, that means at this point it would probably take a considerable outlay to get it fixed up enough so you can rent it out again.

Every one of those I've ever seen was controlled by the light switch. Usually in a way that they keep going for a few minutes after you've left, but I've had one that was just either both on or both off.

Yep, Europe. Always made sense to me. You don't want to leave the light on and waste electricity just to keep the bathroom fan going. Are windowless bathrooms common in the US, or is it just an added convenience to have a bathroom fan? Over here I've pretty much only seen it in windowless bathrooms.

Baronjutter posted:I remember my rich friends had a pantry. Was like a walk-in closet but just filled with canned goods, chips, granola bars, pasta, industrial sized sacks of flour and sugar and other dry goods. I had to ask my friend if his parents were like survivalists or something. I actually just moved into a place with a large kitchen and I'm very happy about the storage space. Right above the range there's this huge cabinet that's only an inch or two deep because the hood duct runs behind it, but they installed some shelves in there, and I don't know if it's meant for that but it's fantastically handy for spices.

Holy poo poo, those loose wood blocks. I'm crying. Picturing the guy trying to work up the nerve to steal one of those mobile stairs vehicles from an airport and suddenly spotting a Home Depot. Reminds me of the shithole I used to live in, where they dug up the empty lot in front of two houses to build a new one, and really the entire lot. What had been street-level front doors suddenly were second floor. They installed some very steep provisional wooden stairs and kept them up for close to a year. They started visibly deteriorating after maybe four months. They also only put down a few boards as a pathway through the pit, and only after people complained because it turned into ankle-deep mud when it rained, and never bothered to install a light. It was fun coming home from work in winter, stumbling down the access ramp and guessing what the builders had left where today. Oh and the builders didn't give a single poo poo that their pit was also the only means of access to the houses behind and more than once I had to dodge an excavator or wait until they'd got their vehicles out of the way. e: yeah, evac routes were a concern. I mean, wood stairs.

With that particular window location I don't see a configuration I'd call optimal, although all others do have the advantage that you can open at least one.

Do that with one window so you can open one from the inside, reach around and open the other one.

The guy says he's gonna work on a railing right in the video and also mentions how much plywood he needed and that it was significantly cheaper than prefab steel steps (albeit without labour). Can you imagine building up three or four steps and then finding one sheet that you suddenly realize you should have used in step #1?

My landlord not only stores his personal poo poo at the bottom of the stairwell, but also demands the (only) house door be locked at night. One of the guys who helped us move in was a fireman and he pretty much just went "... right." I ain't locking poo poo, by the way.
