Nice people thread part 8 - worth the wait

A 4' high room would be fine for me. I rarely use space above 4' as I am ying down watching telly, or typing (like now). Most height in a room is [a] wasted on me annoying as it creates problems with everyday living, such as wall cupboards in the kitchen that are unusable as I can't reach inside them, lightbulbs that blow and can't be replaced without a ladder, or the odd cobweb that appears because I am not up there dusting.

If I could build myself a house without building regs I'd definitely go for a 5'6" ceiling (max).

10'x16' is massive, larger than a lot of sole living rooms in many regular 2 bed houses these days. Shame to waste it. I think that's the size of the kitchen/diner/where I sleep that I am sitting (lying down) in right now in fact.

It might only be nine feet wide, not ten. I cannot really remember

I'm really really tired this evening (still chipper, but really tired). So too tired even to look up my house details on line to try and work out a minimum size front he room its above.:o

Dh to
D me tonight there were saxes in the secret dwarf room, so made me run out to check they hadn't gone in the skip, so I was rooting through the skip full of Kim dust and yuck in my nighty. Nice builder has just told him they are safe and wrapped in a sheet to keep them clean . He is such a good egg.

I also share this space with ... a box of cardboard recycling and a box of tins for recycling. And my "washing to do" pile and my clothes airer containing "washing I did"

Everything you can think of .... that other people have in other rooms ... is here.

Edit: and my shoes/umbrella for when I go out onto the patio area - and all my paperwork, in a pile of boxes .... and all my "hobbies" stuff in random/other boxes, including over 40Kg of "beach tat collected with an aim in mind". Oh - and the vacuum cleaner (that's actually packed up so needs binning and I need to buy a new one).

ATM I'm in the kitchen (rest of the house full of boxes and dirt). Kiwi and I are on the sofa, but dog dog, unusually for her, is on her own bed, big dog is on the big rug. Cats are on the back of the sofa. Everyone else apart from me is snoring and I am so tired....


In an hour I can go to bed....

Posh alert!

I don't have a bed.

I sit here .... cross legged/sideways on the sofa, until I nod off.... typing, surfing, reading, writing..... then when I wake up, I do the same again/more.

How about permanently removing the floor above and the joists and having a 'sunken area' in the room above

What's the opposit to posh alert. I think that's what bed less ness is, not not-posh but the opposite of posh.

Look, I'm so tired I cannot even make up words to misspell.

Too big a drop, it would require two stair cases to nothing. We did think of a sunken bath, but decided against it. Especially as area above is going to be smaller than the secret dwarf room because there is a corridor going in there.


Kiwi's head feels like a soft powder puff. :A
