I've seen that in houses on tiny lots, especially in urban areas. Carport and a bedroom or bath downstairs, living room upstairs, more rooms on the third floor, and maybe a rooftop terrace.

EDIT: The dude on the bottom is holding something like an upside-down hammer. It's a heavy wooden sledge on a long pole that allows someone below to hammer down a beam from above.

The roof is on and we're having a bbq with the carpenter dudes :cheers:

EDIT: VVV 6 dudes plus a crane operator. All the beams came pre-cut and labeled so it was all wooden hammers and a few bolts.

Window frames. Security grills are the current standard for bathroom windows, but I'm not sure why.

Yes. The window in the corner is the shower, and the smaller window will be above the washer. I asked to make the shower window higher to line up, but the unit bath has some height restrictions.

There's one major company called Sekisui that does it like this. They made the cubic houses near mine.

Sliding lower cabinets. Maybe pull-down racks for higher cabinets. A magnetic wall surface for hanging stuff. And plan trash can placement in advance...

I never like in-door ice maker/dispensers. They've always been broken or full of algae. We have an internal ice maker. Fill it up once a week and the ice cubes fall down into an ice drawer.

The fridge has no water connection. You have to fill this thingy manually. Sorry for the grungy pic, this is the spare fridge at my in-laws' place.

Wallpaper. Wallpaper? Talk to me about wallpaper. Wallpapers.

peanut
Sep 9, 2007


Geez I wasn't planning to hang it myself, you nerds. Wallpaper is the standard here for normal people houses that aren't doing old school mud or lime plaster. $10/sq meter for the good stuff. There are some excellent patterns, and some barftastic one.

The alternative is painting the interior myself... with a 1 year old to hold the ladder.

I'm going to diy hell because I'm pretty serious about this fake white brick wallpaper.
The red brick and stone patterns are too tacky, even for me. The fake books and cat photos are disturbing me with psychic resonances of regret.

This is the wallpaper sample book http://www.sangetsu.co.jp/digital_book/re16/index_pc.html
Chalkboard function stuff on Page 11-12! Terrible things on Page 27-28! Retro kawaii Page 89-92! And... Snoopy?! Good grief!

I like that. It can be hard to visualize a pattern on a large surface... like this... :iiapa:

Stairs in my house.

I'm regretting the small window in the bathroom/linen area. There's still time to install a (kawaii) interior window (to the main hallway, facing the front door) for a little bit of light and air flow...

Upstairs walls are done. Closet shelves are installed. The bathroom sink-vanity is being assembled. I decided on wallpaper. There's still time to make adjustments...

:/ I've only ever had powder post beetles in (cheap) furniture. That was resolved by leaving it outside for a week...

Smoke, varnish, and/or demolition?

Wear a lovely long sleeve shirt and take a shower after spraying (Wormil's dick).

I ordered a giant fuckoff built-in shelf for our library. A real shelf that can hold heavy books and won't fall over in an earthquake. https://www.daiken.jp/newproducts/fitshelf/
