You'll not get a finer bed to lavvie view than this.....assuming you want one

A friend of ours' parent who is a builder has an entirely open-plan en-suite in their bedroom. He and his wife don't see the issue.

Was that a deliberate choice of words or a Freudian slip?

Some people don't care.

A friend of ours' parent who is a builder has an entirely open-plan en-suite in their bedroom. He and his wife don't see the issue.

To be fair, they were also the kind of people that as kids were happy to walk around the house naked, even if other families were there.

We're not all the same, I guess.

A school friend's parents (so we are talking as long ago as the late 60s) didn't believe in 'having secrets' and so removed every internal door in the house.  Including the bathroom.  When I visited I always refused anything to drink because I wanted to avoid having to use the loo!

Brand new Persimmon home. "Snag", if you can call it that, has been raised but they are claiming this is "within spec".

Any idea what this would take to fix? I guess at least a complete re-build of that wall.

It could be rendered.  I wouldn't accept a rendered house if I wanted brick, but then I wouldn't be buying from the likes of P*rs*mmon in the first place.

Probably some "therapist" working from home. (PIC 6)
But what's with the disorientating angles ? Is it a villain's hideout from the 1960s Batman Tv series?
(Was that Catwoman's cat?)

That's awful..  We had a look round a local Persimmon estate recently (not to buy - just being nosey) and some of the brickwork was just as bad.  One house had an optional garden room, and the brickwork between the main house and the extension hadn't been dovetailed (if that is the correct term).  The division was actually pulling away, leaving a V shaped gap between the house and the garden room, so assume that the garden room foundations weren't the same spec as the main house.

Would never buy a Persimmon.  As long as the best part of 30 years ago, when we were househunting, we did view a nearly-built house.  We liked it, but I knew that I could never live with the blancemange pink en-suite sanitary ware.  Of course, if it had already been fitted and tiled in, the question wouldn't have arisen - but it was all still in boxes in the bedroom.  When the chappie asked how we had got on, we said that we were interested but would want the en-suite sanitary ware to be changed for white.  He just said that 'what we saw was what we would  get - and to sign here'.  We didn't.  Eventually bought from a small local builder.

That's amazing value and almost enough to make me move to Sunderland!

Almost....
