I can't believe that this cute little 1971 mid-century modern home in Sarasota, Florida hasn't sold. 2bds, 1ba, and just reduced $5K to $604K.

It's a cute little round house, with an open concept living room/kitchen.

Between the kitchen & living room is an area that's more than big enough for a dining table & chairs.

Plus, a desk can fit in that corner.

Beautiful blue kitchen is all original, including the appliances. Notice the curved patterned wall on the left.

The printed wall curves the whole length of the living room and wraps around the hall.

The primary bedroom is so spacious and has open doorways to the hall. The doors fold shut for privacy.

The single bath is big and just beautifully redone.

And, this is the second bedroom.

The house has a large driveway and carport. The lot is .35 acre.

Looks very nice lit up at night, also.

Marzi's Old House Supply Kit: A Non-Exhaustive List

So you've moved into an old house! Congratulations! No, no, look at me. Look in my eyes. Congratulations. You don't need smart lighting. You don't need paltry things like "showers that don't make ungodly noises if you set the water outside a very specific temperature range" or "logical staircases." Because those people who say They Built Them Sturdier Back Then is survivorship bias are wrong, lead paint is only a problem if you eat it, and your new home is basically a tank

also it might have stained glass. so basically you win

(no but seriously the Survivorship Bias argument is just like. tell me you don't live in a city with large quantities of remaining working-class 110-year-old buildings without telling me. I do. they're sturdier. end of.)

but you might need some things to make it a bit more comfortable. here's what I've found, over eight years of living in houses built 1920 or earlier

Power strips. Depending on the age of your house, it may or may not have had electricity originally. And even if it did, whoever lived there almost certainly had fewer things to plug in than the average denizen of the 2020s. There also may have been gorgeous wall sconces that some asshole heartlessly ripped out at some point, forcing you to use the hideous hateful Overhead LightTM or plug in a bunch of lamps. Either way, you're going to need to turn that single outlet in the room into several more. Hence, power strips.

(hey, I never said this list was free of my design biases. deal)

A Good Fan. You may live in a place where retrofitting with air conditioning was commonplace in the last several decades. I do not. So a good pedestal fan can make the difference between comfort and just not sleeping at all from late June to mid-September. Weirdly, I did once look at a place that was from the 1850s and had been retrofitted with central A/C, which is vanishingly rare in even urban Massachusetts. But I digress.

A stud-finder. "Marzi, you spent years of your life explaining to tourists that picture rails existed because trying to hammer nails directly into horsehair plaster and then putting weight on them did Bad Things." Yes I did. "What did you attempt to do the second week of living in your first house with horsehair plaster?" ...shut up. I used the Poltergeist Method to find solid wood- I don't know if it's actually studs or the lath or what; I'm not a builder -to hang my Lady and the Unicorn tapestry from, namely knocking on the wall until it doesn't sound hollow. You might want to go a bit quieter and more advanced. Or, if you have a picture rail, embrace the "long visible hanging wires" look. It is in fact there for a reason!

Window screens. You are actually required by Massachusetts state law to provide these to your tenants. Doesn't mean my last landlady did. And if you own your place, live in another state, or have a similarly laissez-faire building owner, you might end up needing to Bring Your Own Insect-Blocking Shield. Just make sure you've got them, one way or the other. Because see above re: fan vs. air conditioning in old houses.

WD-40. When's the last time those hinges were oiled? Potentially before television. And they WILL squeak. UPDATE I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT WD-40 IS NOT A GOOD LONGTERM SOLUTION. Find "actual oil." Not sure what the more specific name is. Good to know!

That's just what I've found needful so far, but I'm happy to update the list as required!

And you'd better believe, if I owned my own place, this would include "the name of a preservation contractor to undo all the unnecessary ~*MoDeRnIzInG*~ aesthetic bullshit the past owners did since the End of Mainstream Western House Beauty AKA 1920 (That Brief Rococo Revival In the 1930s Can Maybe Sit With Us)"

#long post #old houses #I've seen posts on r/Boston complaining about 'crappy old apartments' and longing for the modern Luxury Condos and like #couldn't be me #if this were a city where Old Apartment meant 1950s or later yeah I'd understand that #no beauty to compensate for the Quirks #but there's like a 75% chance you live in a building from 1915 or earlier if you live here #and I cannot relate to wanting to live in Ye IKEA Plastic Construction Hellscape over that #also don't take this in like a marble statue profile pic guy way- I also think older house styles from other parts of the worldwere prettie #than what they have now #and usually sturdier to boot

modern au dad askeladd except he's not an actual dad but this random kid shows up to his house every day and tries to have beef over the closed food store askeladd bought and turned into an antiquarian store. turns out the food store used to be run by the kid's father until he passed away which is very sad of course but also askeladd is not gonna cooperate with some brat that borderline harasses him day by day. only that he can't call the cops because he kinda has a turbulent past and if they find out he's filling his store with stolen goods it's gonna become a huge problem. and note to destiny, the stupid kid finding out is not that great either because now he has to hear it out if he doesn't wanna go to prison and also he should probably learn the demon child's name while he's at it. shenanigans ensue.

#askeladd agrees to honor the memory of thorfinn's dad and in return thorfinn won't call the cops on him #then they fight about how the honoring should be done #askeladd doesn't want to change his entire store's image only to make sure people don't forget about the former owner #and thorfinn isn't satisfied with just a sign with his dad's name on it which is as far as askeladd is willing to go #things change when some rich jackass wants to buy every building on the street and turn the whole area into a luxury resort #now thorfinn and askeladd have to work together because thorfinn doesn't want his dad's store to vanish #and askeladd doesn’t want HIS STORE to be torn down because smuggling the stolen stuff out of town would be a pain #(also affordable houses with basements big enough to keep the meth laboratory running are rare these days)#(also also thorfinn learns some kind of martial art in the dojo across the street which is whatever but the coach is really nice)#(like. REALLY nice.)#(with a nice voice and a nice face and nice muscles and as if that wasn't enough he makes a kickass apple pie)#“bjorn is single btw” - “shut up thorfinn” - “i'm trying to help” - “go bother your twink why dontcha”#yeah thorfinn actually manages to make friends with the son of that asshole that tries to get their houses #great for the brat of course but now askeladd has to deal with a snobbish teen criticizing his cooking #not to mention the nosey nanny slash accountant the rich idiot hired to keep his twink son entertained who's very curious about the basement #he also knows a lot about modern art which. not great. well great for him but not for askeladd.#anyway tldr #askeladd has to save a street while trying to raise two boys that aren't his not falling in love and keeping ragnar out of the meth basement #thorkell is the construction worker hanging around and refusing to do his job until sven pays him quadruple the original agreement #vinland saga #bjornskeladd #thornute #ragnar and thorkell are also there #and sven but no one wants him to

Our apologies if we're... inconsistent in the next little bit. If you'll allow us to be briefly negative, the 3DS/WiiU online services shutdown is... hitting us, with the abrupt GRIEF of something that was loved and cherished and cared for being abruptly... shut down, just like that. Features taken out forever. Parts of games that could have been loved for years to come simply being... gone. An axe that, unlike with older games, CAN'T simply be recovered from, except with infrastructure. Communication between games lost forever. A whole link in things gone, with a lifespan of barely more than twelve years.

It's...

We enjoy the Pokemon games. If we were to start a trade between two GBA Emerald cartridges nowadays, provided we tracked down the hardware, it could still be done. Nothing is lost of communication features. Platinum is a full game without the wifi features, albeit missing a few trade evolutions, and if you have a wifi router with antiquated enough settings, you can still transfer your pokemon forward to Gen 5. Black and White lose few features and can be played in full without hurting too much. With the 3ds...

Pokemon Bank being shut down means no more transfers to future games. A guillotine to transferring beloved Pokemon forward, with no real remedy. ORAS's secret bases rely on passively collecting data from other participants to function. Hacking 3DS games is already difficult, and we doubt that reverse engineering parts of infrastructure that are simply gone will be easy. Maybe it's just other things fucking with us, and we're definitely being a bit dramatic, but... the eShop shutdown already cut off massive amounts of previously playable games. Who will archive online features? Who will archive the things that require connective infrastructure? As things grow more complicated, they grow more difficult to repair. How long before it becomes impossible to replace that which once was?

Twelve years feels like a horribly short lifespan for any technology, and things keep trending worse - making things faster and faster and more and more rushed as the structures they're built on require more and more work. This isn't sustainable. This can't keep going. This market is running faster than we can handle, and it feels like it's only getting faster. Modern things keep being discarded the moment they aren't shiny and new, keep leaning more and more on communication and intercommunication and infrastructure that will rot the moment it isn't actively attended to. How much worse will it be for future things?

There is a game on our computer, fully installed. No online features at all. Yet, it cannot be played. It was made with AOV to prevent piracy, and the servers it was meant to connect to no longer exist.

We don't want more games to be made the same way. But we don't think that this road branches anywhere but an awful demise, approaching faster and faster by the day.

#we speak #negative chatter #we do apologize for this. we've been spiralling on and off for the past While #a specific project we thought we had time for is now on a six month deadline and we aren't coping well with it #it's. look let's just say we're not in a great state of mind #this is a subject we feel strongly about and this is hitting us in the gut in all the wrong ways #we hate how archiving games isnt considered important we hate how digital history is seen as Less Important #we hate how everything that we cant hold in our hand is liable to vanish the moment that someone decides it isnt making profit #we. don't like the fact that the lives of the things we care for are growing more and more finite #there's a rot in everything digital that just grows and grows and grows #and we arent sure it can be rooted out. and we arent sure it can be stopped. but it grows and grows and grows #as more and more peoples lives and health are dedicated to a beast that eats and eats and eats #we don't like how modern things are made. we don't like the way things are going.#we think of new houses and new construction. we think of how our wool greatcoat still holds out nearly a century after its making.#we think of how our new winter coat had to be discarded barely five years after its purchase.#we crave permanancy and variety but more and more everything is growing faster and blander and more discardable #and this is only a symptom of it. but it brings enough to the surface that we're struggling to cope.

AI Generated McMansions: Indiana!

I asked the @mcmansionhell Discord chat where in these great United States our next property should be from, and the result was...

Indiana 🥳

Modernist jewel surrounded by iconic Indiana floating-trees. Dubbed The House of Seven Foyers by the local architectural community, this home is a gaping cavern of openness and midwestern hospitality. 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 7 foyer, and the rest of the 7500 sq ft…eh, that’s up to you.

Guests are greeted by a modern yet charmingly traditional foyer. A space so open and welcoming they can glimpse the entirety of the first floor, as well as some of the second!

[s p a c e s]

Kitchens on either end of the house!

The second floor foyer is bedecked in stately railings.

The House of Seven Foyers is the first home in the United States to be both a church conversion and a new construction.

Additional bedrooms:

Each full bath has a foyer of its own!

in theory I really wanna design Melliwyk's living spaces, since she's my only OC who's had any kind of permanent living space for any meaningful amount of time, but in practice not only do I not know anything about interior design or architecture in general I really don't know anything about how to design a fantasy-setting rustic woodland cottage which also is several thousand years old and was built during a now-lost era of high magic advancement

#this is a problem of me thinking abojt the worldbuilding a perhaps unreasonable amount but my house predates? the vault??#what does that MEAN for DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION #I don't even know where to begin trying to research references and inspiration on this lol #I MEAN I GUESS PROBABLY MIDDLE AGES I'm probably overthinking it wrt the DM's intentions but #I just wanna think about Mel's little items #and my brain's like 'okay figure out what modern gnomish interior design is like and also figure out what an ancient cottage is like. idiot #meanwhile I can't even interior design my own real life house that I live in for myself agdkfldsh #about me #my OCs #melliwyk

What a bargain- beautiful original 1954 mid-century modern home in Indianapolis, IN has 3bds, 3ba, $275K.

Isn't this nice? The original fireplace is the focal point of the room.

Large living room, open concept layout, and the large fireplace acts as a divider.

Behind the fireplace is the space for the dining area. I'm going to steal that look of identical vases grouped together.

Entrance to the kitchen from the dining room.

It's sort of a galley kitchen, as is typical of MCM homes, but it's larger.

I don't think it's too narrow. Look at the cool cabinetry- it has a built in cutting board and utensil drawers. The original cabinets are walnut.

Beautiful sun porch.

Plus a very large sun room with 3 large skylights.

Stairs behind the dining room and hallway to the bedrooms.

The primary bedroom has so much storage, all built-in, including night tables. There's also a door to the sun room.

The matching en-suite also has cabinetry with storage.

The owner was a well-known photographer and there's a dark room in the cellar.

Plus a workshop.

The sun room is attached to the house, but very private. Has some possibilities. 0.79 Acre lot

Building a house in the Philippines Part 2

Photo by RonaldPlett So you have finally decided on building your own house in the Philippines, the area you are going to build in and decided that the environmental tests the Philippines will throw at you constantly are worth it. So, take some advice from someone who spent hours on YouTube. If you decide to go cheap, you will get cheap. I have seen some horrors while watching people getting…
