Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

You mean on a pull cord inside? I prefer the switches outside the room.

And yes it's an extractor fan isolator. I suppose i could change the face plates to a chrome or similar but I don't mind white.

To be fair when the other view of this office is the garden I don't need to turn around often (old pic it's currently full of crap whilst rest of house is renovated..)

Some harsh critics on here!

Love your pooch!

What's the desk?

Dear lord do we have to keep being subjected to that awful joker 'artwork'?

It's quite a nice room otherwise....

New Xbox controller

I really like those colours, find it quite relaxing!

 

[randomshenans]

It’s nice, but can I be honest, I’d have stuck a pool table there. You can get some right classy looking ones like the Supreme Prince.

Wasn't enough space around it and tbh didn't want a pool table in my living area

Dude, this is far too relatable... I hit my head on them 4 times in the day before it arrived!

What's the desk?

Jarvis by fully, it's a sit/stand electric desk, 1.8m wide and curved front.

I approve of that pencil case

Never really bothered me to be honest. What I find more annoying is how low the switches are in all of the extension. I believe it's for disability access/building regs but it's a load of nonsense and not a new building so doesn't require them .

I think in all houses you need to see past the minor stuff (unless your budget is unlimited )

Extensions have to be built to building regs so hence the light switches have to be low. Annoyed the hell out of me when we got ours done. One part of the house they are high, and the other part they are low.

Are you sure they have to? My sparky suggested it's only for new builds and not for extensions (same for reason sockets are circa 450mm off the floor). He's someone that applies common sense rather than building regs however.

Another one I've changed is the bathroom door which swings out into the hallway (now it goes "in"). It's also the largest door in the house (33" all others 30") which is particularly dumb.

The previous owner presented the house very poorly but at least I got money knocked off it to renovate to my preferred layout/look!

This is new builds only.

Bloody useless sparky I had then (and building isnpector)!

Same for my previous owner , unfortunately too much arseache to change now. I'll just claim its for any future potential children's access

Read that back to yourself slowly and then question where else he has applied 'common sense'

It is common sense, hence why the approved document specifically excludes extensions from part M1.

You do get building inspectors saying you should do the same with extensions though.

Although my guy was really anal, he tried to get me to change my build part way through to match the new building regs which had come out rather than the old ones which applied when i got planning permission and started.

Ah common sense then refer to a specific policy document for industry people to read and understand
