What is this shower for?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
81

Either there are things missing from that diagram, or those lower level bedrooms are seriously illegal. They appear to have neither windows or doors. No possible fire exit direct from the bedrooms.

The mudroom isn’t accessible directly from the outdoors. Any mud involved presumably gets strewn all over the garage.

the pantry isn’t accessible directly from the kitchen; you have to go through the supposedly formal dining room.

The only windows in the primary bedroom suite appear to be in the closet.

I could go on. I suspect that house suits somebody perfectly; but it sure isn’t me.

82

What does this house design have to do with the house from the OP?

83

The AI-generated plans are bullshit.

84

I made a joke about the house being LLM-designed, and then I plugged its exact specifications into an LLM.

85

And the LLM kicked back blueprints with absolutely no relation to the actual house.

Just about as expected.

86

Oh. I missed the AI-generated bit. Of course there are; and probably also things added and things moved around.

Having also looked at the Zillow pictures, though, I stand by the statement that the house may suit somebody, but it sure isn’t me.

87

As you can see, your AI-generated results are confusing and distracting people here.

88

The shower in question has apparently confused and distracted people. So I guess a discussion of ai-generated floorplans is on topic.

89

There also appear to be no stairs connecting the main floor and the basement.

90

There looks to be an itty bitty staircase at the top right of the deck

91

That appears to lead outside as I’m assuming the deck is open to the outdoors.

I was looking at the section labelled Walkout Lower Level and I don’t see any stairs anywhere in it.

I suppose the lower level could be separated from the rest of the house with no direct connection. Like a duplex. But if so, you’d expect there to be an interior kitchen in the lower level. (The wet bar/kitchenette is outdoors, connected to the backyard and patio and there’s no direct connection to the interior.)

92

Well the word walkout implies it would have to be outside, and I don’t think that would make very much sense in the front. The only other way outside is the deck. In the end it’s just some AI bs so who knows :man_shrugging:

93

I have a dog shower. It’s called a water hose. Out on the grass works perfectly.

94

That was part of my solution when my Bernese got skunked. But it also included a thorough indoors warm-water wash with anti-skunk shampoo (possibly twice), followed by regular dog shampoo.

He was a good boy who tolerated it all very well, and at the end of it, his fur not only smelled sweet but was exceptionally soft and fluffy!

95

Confirmation! 'tis a “Pet spa station”. In a house on a TEN ACRE property. That is an “(a)gricultural, Irregular Lot”. Thank you OP.

I hope we didn’t just increase the price with all our clicks!

If anyone attends an open house, do report back.

96

I must say I’m astounded at the price, but then, I have no idea what land values are in Batavia, NY. Around here a house like that, even on a modest lot barely large enough to accommodate the house and a smallish back yard, would be at least $10 million and probably more! Maybe twice that if it was actually made of brick or stone and had a better exterior design.

97

10 million . Wow. Seems a mite high.

98

The average price for a perfectly ordinary little humdrum home in this area with (or maybe without) a little back yard is around $1.1 mil, which includes a lot of dumps in bad neighbourhoods. So less that $900K for a huge place like that seems like a deal!
