If I had to design a house I'd get all the NPs giving suggestions too .... in case I've forgotten something that I've never encountered... if that makes sense.
One might have a whim for something, but until you've experienced it you don't see the issues/downsides of it that you'd change "next time".
I often look at tiny kitchens and see where I could fit a larder .... and the kitchens are far too tiny to do that... in fact, many kitchens only have about 2-3' of worktop!0 -

The coach house
is ummm, about sixty feet long. And....of width yet to be determined......but narrow. I wonder how long the car is? And all the second flor will be in eaves. I think I might be wise to look at narrow boat layouts?
One of my sisters lives in an "in-fill house". There were wider, more normal houses either side of it, and in the 17th century, someone bagged the gap and stuck a roof on top, and bingo, a whole new house.
It's only about 10 feet wide - two storeys. The front door opens into the living room, with a door that opens to reveal the world's narrowest, steepest stairs up to two very small bedrooms. Walk through the living room, and the gallery kitchen is beyond that (a 1930s single storey extension) with a door to the back garden shared with next door, and beyond that, the bathroom. So to get to the loo in the night / early morning, you need to stagger down the stairs, through the living room and kitchen, and there you are....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
What do you mean. I never see avatars.
Under most people's names, on the left-hand side of their posts, I see their avatars.

Is this all Legal Aid work? What do they pay for an adjournment in Feltham? Or is it all supposed to be included in the overall fee?
Perhaps buy a bottle of Château Thames Embankment to drown your sorrows?
No, I don't do that much immigration legal aid work. It takes forever to get paid, and the pay isn't great. Most of my solicitors can't be ar4ed with legal aid contracts for immigration, as they spend so much time jumping through hoops instead of actually doing some work. I reckon I do about 20 days' legally-aided immigration work a year, not more than that. This was a private case. So I get paid my brief fee as normal, because I've done most of the real work!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I can't see any avatars! Nor do I have one. I didn't know you all had them, and I feel left out. I knew some people had them on their profiles as Lydia refers to avatar dog, and you refer to your hat...but I thought it was a profile thing only.
How do I get to see them, please.0 -

Oh, don't feel left out, you can have them too.
It will be a profile option,
Can you see user cp, three from the left not at the top but at the bottom of the top junk? Below 'etiquette'?
If you click that then go to settings and options its quite low done that page as a tick box .....( phew, took a while to find, wasn't with avatar options)
To get one you need a tiny picture.
Someone else did mine....um, I'm really sorry, I cannot remember who.
. How rude of me 0 -
To see avatars try going to "user CP" then select "edit options" then check the option "view avatars" in the thread display options section of that page.0
