Thanks Theo, I can only speak for myself but I forgive you fully and entirely. I can only hope Lonzinho will do the same…

The usual things that don’t come as standard for a house that’s nearly 200 years old: an upstairs bathroom/toilet; cavity wall insulation; basic structural soundness. Nothing like ‘character’ to scare the shit out of a surveyor.

They say that time is a great healer. We shall see in 2026.

I’d like a garden instead of two small concreted back yards. A coat rack would be great too.

could also wash your ham outside

Thanks, man (please bear this in mind for the Friday review thread)

Fuck! Yes!

a freezer

a window that opens in the kitchen. gets VERY steamy if you’re boiling/steaming multiple things, but opening the back door lets all the heat out

got a small extractor fan, but it’s not really that great tbh

A tumble dryer and dishwasher would be handy, but they are not super essential

I have a vague plan to adapt my currently rather odd bathroom. The toilet has it’s own little nook out the back - basically a hangover from when I assume it was more or less an outside privy

I would like to bring the loo into the main bathroom area - and to accommodate this I would switch to a big built in shower and get rid of the bath (I never take baths and have a hankering for one of those big rainforest type shower head things)

The loo/ back end of the bathroom would be converted into a utility room type thing, with a dryer stacked over the washing machine. Would also enable me to put ironing board/ henry hoover and clothes drying rack things out of sight

I can then put a dishwasher in the kitchen in the space currently occupied by my washing machine

Think the whole thing will be mega ££££ though - not 100% sure if I can afford it/ can be bothered

a door to the kitchen (to stop noise from the speaker in the kitchen and being able to smell eggs frying from upstairs)

reliable plumbing (something breaks once a month). our extractor fan is half-broken too.

think i’d like for the light fitting in my room to move (currently right in front of the window and not centred, makes the need for lamps essential)

the right to put my stuff in rooms other than mine (not allowed to put shoes in the cupboard under the stairs, where everyone else does. not allowed to put stuff on an empty bookcase downstairs. my dad has issues re:tidiness and cleanliness)

i don’t consider a tumble dryer to be a ‘normal’ thing. wouldn’t want one either.

Agreed with this (see also: Dishwasher)

(Although when I previously have had a tumble dryer it’s a fuckin’ godsend for bedsheets ONLY)

Door to the kitchen
Door to the front room
Microwave

It gets cold downstairs in the winter (<- not a sexual reference)

agreed

But for drying sheets and towels a tumble dryer is mega handy when it’s winter and you are short of space

Dishwasher - I wouldn’t use one every day, but when you’ve cooked a big dinner and have piles of washing up. Handy. I don’t think running a full dishwasher is any worse for the environment then doing a big load of washing up by hand
