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)

#108

Fuck! Yes!

#109

a freezer

#110

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

#111

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.

#113

Agreed with this (see also: Dishwasher)

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

#114

Door to the kitchen
Door to the front room
Microwave

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

#115

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

#116

this is obviously very wrong

#117

pizza scissors

Apparently not: http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/why-you-should-use-a-dishwasher-instead-of-cleaning-by-hand-10229612.html

“Overall, then, it’s probably fair to say that the dishwasher wins – assuming that you use appropriate cycles and only run the machine when it’s full. This is true even if you include (as the figures above do) the energy used in the production of the dishwasher in the first place”

Not my words, the words of a slightly inconclusive 2010 article in the Guardian :kissing:

The link I posted is from 2015 - even in just those five years, the improved environmental standards for appliances have made a significant difference.

#121

no where to put a dishwasher, besides i live in scotland, we’ve got wads of water so i’ll continue to waste away the water

#122

yeah - you googled a much better one than me.
