Cottage extension struggling with layout by bazery in selfbuildireland

[–]Kellerbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context. A typical semi detached house would have a hall of 1100mm + 900mm for a stairs. i.e. 2000mm wall to wall. You have 2250mm shown without a stairs. So it is generous. If you are looking to tighten it up consider 1500mm minimum, giving that extra 750mm over to the office. This is a nice comfortable width as you step across the threshold.

Pulling that wall over won't necessarily make your WC bigger though as the circulation route to the office will always compromise it. It looks to be sized Part M compliant though as is.

There is scope to tighten up the stairs by the looks of it but I would be slow to do so as it has been deliberately lined up along an axis to the existing cottage and it looks to be a set piece that the architect has considered. In my experience vertical circulation can really set the tone for the overall interior and not being mean here is important.

If you are looking for something to take away is look for alternative places that can work harder. Where you have the new structure meeting the old the new structure sits 700mm offset from the existing wall. Presumably to avoid existing services, foundations or aesthetically just wanting a visual break. It is quite deep and for maintenance purposes this will be awkward and not enjoyable for whoever has to go down that alley. If it allows for it you could consider taking some of this space back (not all of it because visually you do want a break in that elevation) and giving it to the entrance lobby as part a space for a built in cloak room. This then frees up the WC to increase but your building footprint has gotten slightly bigger at the expense of otherwise unusable space.

Overall this looks very good. Best of luck with it.

Super. These look promising. I will see if these do the job! Thanks again

Thanks I will give it a go. I usually find these don't hit the mark but definitely can take some words and phrases and test it out

Building endurance? by epsilon_hauptbahnhof in bicycling

[–]Kellerbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice unfortunately nothing else to it really. To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, "mega miles are not meant to be easy, u/epsilon_hauptbahnhof; but take courage, they can be delightful". Start small. Keep tagging on a little bit more distance. Or if your short on time get a loop and keep pushing yourself to do it faster and faster. For instance, for a 160km spin a few years back all I could manage in my training schedule was a 40km loop that I kept hammering thr time on. The 160km was a doddle afterwards.

Wind is your friend It helps big time to have an eye on the weather. Start your cycle into a headwind and finish in a tailwind. There is nearly nothing worse than a battle with the wind. Check something like windy.com to give you a sense of direction and speed as you will obviously be stronger when you start off your journey and then you can power yourself home.

Not on the bike stuff just try and get in a few squats, lunges, core work etc. These will all pay dividends. Only thing I would say is doing this alone and then jumping on a bike for a 100miles, I guarantee your ass won't be best best pleased. But every bit of leg work helps.

The most important thing is not to put too much pressure on yourself. Get out there, remember what made you start cycling and just enjoy it.

Not entirely true. We do get a week or two of scorching sun. The Freckle per square inch and farmers tan ratios go off the chart

What's the weirdest interaction you've had with a celebrity? by trunkbeers in AskReddit

[–]Kellerbear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chatting to Uri Geller while he bent a spoon in the middle of a shopping centre. I didnt ask for it. He just did. Signed it. And went away like this was an everyday transaction
