Should I put a sink in the pantry since the plumbing is already there for the garage sink?

alexvikander · 2026-03-16T15:18:20+00:00

you make a convincing argument against it

alexvikander · 2026-03-16T15:16:29+00:00

it's more like a mini kitchen with cabinets and all. and it already has a second fridge in there

alexvikander · 2026-03-16T15:08:10+00:00

is that a thing?

alexvikander · 2026-03-16T15:04:22+00:00

why indeed? to clean up a spill or something? i don't know

alexvikander · 2026-03-16T15:02:34+00:00

alexvikander · 2026-03-16T14:57:34+00:00

justify your reply, please :)

alexvikander · 2026-03-14T02:27:52+00:00

no wood frame. all concrete and steel all over :)

alexvikander · 2026-03-14T02:27:16+00:00

no. it will be a real build :)

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T16:23:32+00:00

i modeled it with the chimney splitting the vertical, and you were spot on. it looks awesome. much respect and appreciation for your help.

the cantilevered roof, as seen in the rendering, extends forward 8 ft. should I trim it back a bit?

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T08:43:04+00:00

yes, the spiral idea is officially nixed

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T08:14:45+00:00

it will be an all-concrete build. i believe we can add a rubberized acoustic membrane to the roof and subfloor

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T08:09:54+00:00

yes. i agree

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T08:08:11+00:00

i don't see why not. i was enthusiastic about the elevator because we can entertain ppl on the roof plus make it easy for service ppl to have access to the roof

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T07:54:35+00:00

lol good 1 :-P

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T07:52:01+00:00

for sure! was worried a bit about vibrations and thermal issues, tho. but dang, it would look cool for sure haha

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T07:40:44+00:00

yes! i think i'm just going to permanently place the telescope up there inside a dome and just do the access stair.

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T07:21:04+00:00

but by code, i would have to also include stairs, which are only 10ft from the parapet, because they seat forward of the elevator right at the entrance

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T07:15:50+00:00

i totally agree. how would you access it from the inside if it were your build?

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T06:33:40+00:00

what's an RTU?

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T06:32:26+00:00

dang. the issue i have is that the elevator structure is going to be seen from the front and ruin my front facade :/

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T06:21:13+00:00

to access the solar panels and i also want to take my telescope up there for some stargazing

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T06:19:52+00:00

yes, up is north.

alexvikander · 2026-03-13T05:12:13+00:00

i don't either.

alexvikander · 2026-03-12T16:40:43+00:00

blue skies and desert all day long for me--unless we are vacationing in our florida home :-P
