I have a Magnavox Projection TV Model #55P828899. One day in the afternoon after turning it on, it started having a blue shadow around the graphics. I have adjusted the Convergence Blue, still have the shadow. I tried correcting the convergence Multipoint. Nothing adjusts. Is there anyway to put the TV back to factory defaults?

That comment was predictable, my question was on topic, it was to help me understand why you seem to talk about Thailand as it was years ago rather than now.
Wrong again.
The topic of this thread is "The Value of a Tourist" not "Let's Attack Sean" so either get back on toipic or write me a PM. You're wasting a thread with your limited understanding.

Re: The Value of a Tourist.
I feel that there is a vast difference between the tourist and the ex-pat. In this sense, I am confined to largely referring to the English, as that is my nationality.
I worked in Bkk. for considerable periods. I lived more or less as an ex-pat. I found some of the English tourists I came across as boorish and complaining, about everything; the pavements, the food (??) , the heat(???) the trafic and even the hard beds in hotels. Copious amounts of alcohol assisted in instilling an attitude of superiority. But holiday makers have some excuse for this over-consumption. Next week they are back at work.
One instance I remember well was when a family of glums from Manchester, lardies to the extreme, marched into the German Beerhouse on Suk. Soi.11 when the televisions there were showing the truly marvellous events celebrating the King's 60th anniversary. The Thai employees, and others, were fixated. The lardies with their beer and their air of self-importance demaded that the "football" should be turned to because their beloved Manure game was being screened. Their disbelief and anger at at having their request refused was embarrasing. They stormed out, leaving the drinks they had ordered undrunk and unpaid for. Punks in extremis. Us ex-pats clubbed together to pay the bill, to the unfortunate waitresse's relief. Such commonplace nonsense does nothing to endear us to the average hard working and friendly Thai worker.
Now I am a holiday maker and in new circles, I find the ex-pats I meet unfriendly, superior, smug and quite frankly know-alls. I seem to get on well with my fellow tourists (having not come across any glums yet) as we have something in common.
Perceptions are what your circumstances dictate. What must the Thais make of all this?
In sum, If I were to decide to come back to LOS to live, I would know what to expect and would only complain when necessary. Even though I have become rather a grumpy old man, who drinks too much.

Re: The Value of a Tourist.
Of course tourism is important to Thailand. As stated by some posters, not the only source of income, but still an important factor to the whole economy.
Look at yourself as a private investor, would you like to gamble your whole capital in one investment, or spread over multiple?
Same with the economy, the more diversified it is, the better suited to absorb downturns in one of the sectors.
I live in a Soi where the guides for Bicycle Tours lead their foreign customers. Before the "Reds" actions they passed there virtually every day with groups of 8-15 tourists. After the "Reds" that went down to 2-3 times per week, and usually 2-4 tourists in a group. The guides did not look happy.
Now, after about 6 months, the groups are getting bigger again, the frequency gets higher, and the guides are starting to smile again, because....... $$$$
Now are all tourists good? No, course not, but that is not a Thailand problem, it is a world wide problem. Look at the havoc that Western European (British, Dutch, German etc) are causing in tourist centers in Spain and Greece. Difference with Thailand is that they are coping with it. Here they are just complaining that tourists are so bad.
Sex-tourism? Yes, so what. Granted, I come from a very progressive country when it comes to these kind of things (first to legalise marihuana, abortion, same sex marriage, etc), in my home country Prostitution is now an accepted for of work. A majority of the prostitutes is organised, get social benefits, etc. And yes, we are happy that foreign tourist come to Amsterdam, and spent their money there.
So why not in Thailand?

Coach Chow, Kuali and PACOM
New head football Coach Norm Chow hit a "home run" in his first speaking engagement to the Downtown Athletic Club, attended by an overflow audience at Executive Centre.
The Kuali Financial System project continues on schedule with go-live planned in July 2012. Interfaces for payroll and purchasing will be completed by the end of January, and the contract and grant billing module is being adapted. Integration test cycles are planned in the coming four months, and a training plan is being created.
Governor Abercrombie and Admiral Willard have agreed to expand efforts to involve the state in sustainability and resilience interests shared by the university and the U.S. Pacific Command, or PACOM. We had the signing ceremony for the memorandum-of-understanding on a public-private partnership to prepare for disasters in the Asia-Pacific region in November. UH is identifying partners in the PACOM initiative with an anticipated visit from Tohoku University officials from Sendai, Japan.

Grant supports Native Hawaiian education pathway
Na Pua Noeau and the University of Hawaii have been awarded a grant from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs to increase Native Hawaiian participation in higher education.
The two-year award totaling nearly $2.5 million will provide a pathway for Native Hawaiian students to the various UH campuses statewide.
A Native Hawaiian Education Center established at UH Hilo, Na Pua Noeau has offices and staff on six islands that work closely with campus programs and the Hawaiian community.
The program provides students an opportunity to access UH facilities and faculty and plays a significant role in creating opportunities for Hawaiian students to see higher education as a means to serve their family and their community.
The pathways created in STEM education are showing significant results, especially at Hilo, where 92 Na Pua Noeau students are majoring in STEM fields.

Blooming in July is too long..takes several minutes to open... :) Here's a few pics I snapped yesterday. Hoya multiflora Lily Phlox Can't recall if I posted this WEED in the other thread Milkweed has a very very strong scent. This weed grows about 200 feet from the back door, yet, once I walk outside, the fragrance is noticed. Toni |

Hi Tony, Your phlox is so big! How old is it? I don't think I ever saw one that big. I bet it smells heavenly. Thanks for posting such nice pics. I have a few things blooming, but they aren't neccesarily fragrant. Nice to hear from you. |
Finally, the first open bloom from my MOO jasmine as of this morning - 34 buds to go. :) Hi Toni! I saw an abundance of open fragrant blooms over at Meyer_Mike's yesterday. He'd done me the favor of Picking me up a bag of Turface and I went to pick it up before he wasted to much gas driving around with it in the back of his car for weeks on end. He's got so many beautiful plants in bloom and he's claimed to be to lazy to take pictures. I think if we nag him enough he may take some though. I'm especially fond of a fragrant peach colored lily in his back yard. He has a small patio right beside it, and one can sit and smell all the flowers - but that LILY is the most fragrant one of the batch right now. :) I showed up in time for dinner and was treated to Mike's fabulous chef skills: some sort of crumb-crusted tilapia (he wouldn't tell me what the topping was), and a delicious salad with home grown tomatoes fresh picked from the garden. And, then he packed me off with my turface, and 2 more jasmines; one that he'd propagated from clippings, and another. It seems that every time I visit I come home with more plants. He's quite a good friend to always spoil me; but I hope he realizes that I'm his friend even without the gifts. I'm hesitant to visit Mike too regularly because I have a feeling it might not be long that his greenhouse would be empty and I'd wonder where to put all these beauties when it turns to winter again. (Yes, isn't that what I always worry about?) But, I have to admit that I'm pretty crazy about Mike's mother. I wish I could adopt her; but I don't think he'd let me. :) She's got quite the humorous streak. I don't think I ever laugh so much as when I talk with her. :) |

Afternoon, Hi Butterfly. Thank you. It's strange about my Phlox. I bought a pink and white Phlox at HD Anyway, I transplated both Phlox near the right side of the front garden. A pic of pink Phlox. White Phlox was behind pink..for some reason white didn't grow as tall/wide as pink. Here's the strange part. The following year, my 'pretty, boo hoo' pink was gone. The original white is alive where originally planted. In other words, there are two, white Phlox. Would you have any idea how that happened???? I didn't know Phlox were different sizes?? What's the smallest? Butterfly, please post pics of your flowering plants, even if they're not fragrant. Hey Rosie, Wow, where to start? Congrats on your MOO's bloom and 34 buds to come. Your MOO's leaves are vivid green, sooo healthy and beautiful! I had no idea you lived near Mike. What a treat that must have been. Yes, Mike is great guy. Very generous, too. Mike finds the nicest plants. Fragrant lily's and other garden perennials/bulbs, etc. Guess Mike needs to be warned. Dinner to boot. Wow! I haven't any idea the number of plants Mike has now, but I'm certain his house/outside if pretty packed. Although, like you said, he doesn't post as often as he once did. It is true, Mike works hard. Between jobs and caring for his plants, I'm surprised he has time to sleep. lol. Anyway, congrats on your new Jasmines. Hope they do well and grow into beautiful, fragrant, flowering greens. Toni |
My garden current fragrant blooms Grandduke supreme Rangoon creeper double madagascar jasmine plumeria 'divine' jasmine molle aglalia odorato |
great end of month thread!! I'd never heard of milkweed before! I love the aglaia so packed with blooms 8-) |
How long will it take for this one to bloom? I saw the buds yesterday right after a quick downpour. The vine is in a 6" pot and already growing about 5 feet up ... And, finally - almost flowering. :) A passion-flower. :) |

Morning All, Kandhi, WOWEE! Your garden resembles a tropical paradise. I never heard/saw Rangoon until I found, GW's Fragrant Forum. Your Stephanotis looks huge. Bet it really scents the air. Jasmine Molle is soooo colorful. Beautiful! Wish my Aglaia looked as pretty as yours. Last year when mine bloomed, flowers weren't half as large or as yellow. Hi Fenius. Someone on Flickr ID'd my Milkweed plant/weed. lol. Hey Rose, Sorry, can't answer your question. Rose..you got me thinking about New England. I've always wanted to visit the east coast. Mike and I have been talking for years. I thought it'd be nice to finally meet him. I too would love to see his garden and indoor plants, too. Oh Rosie...I re-read your post. Didn't know your PV was in bud...A horse of a different color. Time will tell. Are buds getting larger each day? Guess it depends on temps/sun..has it been sunny or grey? Hi Bunti. I love Tuber Rose. Does it need lifting after flowers fade? Beautiful Roses..Are they fragrant? Your Hydrangeas are loaded with flowers! They're gorgeous! Also, hardy 'dranges here have different shaped/textured foliage, unlike leaves on your plant. I once sowed a hardy Hydrangea seed..it took most of summer before germinating. Anyway, it lived for years, flowered in autumn months. After 9 or so years, one of two things killed it. The 17-yr Cicadas, or a very, icy winter like 2012. To be honest,, although mine bloomed, it didn't have half the flowers yours does. Toni |
Toni! How awesome that would be! I'd love to meet you! :) We could plan a gathering ... I'm sure I could cook something vegetarian for you. ARe you a vegan or will you eat cheese? Will you come with family? Or solo? What other things would you like to do in MA besides visit Mike and his mom? and Logees? ... :) You should come in the summer when his plants and flowers are outdoors and in bloom. :) I'm already starting to plan a menu. Eggplant parm? sangria to knock your socks off? tiramisu? ... tempted yet? :) The vine continues to grow, and grow ... the logees website had said it'd only get to about 5 feet long, but it's still growing and has already passed that. And at least 2 buds that I've noticed, so far. There may be more hidden among the leaves though. I'll have no problem cutting her short at the end of the season because she won't thrive in my apartment among my small windows so I'll need to put her in a cooler spot to hibernate. So, you coming? :) |
Toni, Thanks! None of my plants I posted are in ground, they are all in pots. I love the look of rangoon creeper plants whether it is single or double flower blooms. They are fragrant in the morning. My stephanotis is 5ft tall plant in 3 gallon container, It is blooming every year without fail. The fragrance is awesome and flowers last longer. This is a very low maintenance plant. In summer I have to water it every day since it is rootbound. In winter I donot trim it as the new growth comes on old stems for bud/blooms. I fertilize it it in spring once. Jasmine molle is 4ft tall plant in 5 gallon container, this year I root pruned it in early spring and It grew well and produced more blooms than last year. Aglalia I moved this year from 1 to 2gallon container and it is in constant bloom since then. I feed all my plants 1/4th tsp/gallon dyna gro foliage pro fertlizer once a week. This year all the plants are doing very well. |

There's a stray bloom on my 'main' Gardenia yard shrub. Mirabilis jalapa (4'o'clocks) are blooming, Lantana camara, butterfly bush (Buddleia,) that's about it for fragrance at the moment. |

Howdy All, Hi Rosey, lol. You're funny. If I head east, I'll be solo. We have pets, so someone has to be here to feed, etc. What do I plan on doing if I come down besides visiting Mike, Mike's mom and Logees? I don't know. lol. I don't know if summer or fall would be better. I'd love seeing colorful fall, but I'd miss summer blooms. Maybe I've seen one too many Steven King movies. lol. Oh Rosey, you don't have to cook for me. lol. I'm not a total vegan..I eat meat, but only certain types. Actually, I dislike most vegan foods..I detest lettuce. Yuck. Do vegan's not eat cheese? Are you serious? Why not? Anyway, please don't worry about cooking. If I'm on vacation, the last thing I'll be thinkiing about is food. lol. I always wanted to stay at a B&B, but don't know how costly they are. Would you know? Gosh, it'd be so nice staying at a B&B, being served meals. Total luxury. :) Aw, Rose, you're so kind. BTW, I don't/can't drink. I'm on meds so drinking is out. Last time I drank was,hmm, 13-yrs ago at my brothers wedding. I got very sick after because of meds. And the drinks were watered-down fruit alcoholic beverages. Rosey, your Passionvine has flower or leaf buds? Wow! I imagine Logee's said 5' as an average. You know? This way, if it grows a little under 5', no big deal. But congrats...i'm glad your plant is doing well. What month do you plan on trimming? Will you winter your PV in darkness? Kandhi, Did you buy a Rangoon plant or sow from seed? If you bought the plant, can you say where it was purchased? You think Stephs are easy? Wish I felt the same. lol. The last two attemps, but times, leaves dried. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Don't think my Aglaia bloomed yet. 2010 and 2011, it flowered late summer. Since last winter was colder than normal, and since temps have been pretty chilly, July and now Aug, may be the reason Aglaia hasn't flowered. Or, it migh not flower at all this year. I have two types of Dyno-Gro..One for foliage plants, the second for flowering plants. Whichever, your plants are doing marvelous. Hey Purple. When did your BB start blooming? Rosey, wow,, your Jasmine floweres are pretty! I've never seen a Jasmine w/star-shaped petals. Then again, I haven't seen most Jasmine since I kill them. lol. Is it normal these blooms last one day??? Like Hibiscus. |
Everyone had such nice flowers! This thread is dangerous lol. So many plants I need. My Arabian Jasmine is finally blooming! I got this guy last year for $1. There were three good roots, and two leaves on a 4" stem. I'm quite happy and can't wait for it to " leap" next year. |

Hello everyone and Toni and Rose..lol You guys are crazy and thank you Rose for sharing such a good time we had... Anyone here is always welcome to brouse my plants and have a bite at the same time.. Beautiful pictures all and great conversation... Wanted to say thank you Mike |

Grand duke, which I thought I killed, made a comeback. These flowers have been developing for weeks! the suspense is killing me! I really wish my phone would stop double posting. |
Toni, I bought my rangoon creeper last year from zone 9 tropicals . I asked them whether it is a cutting or seedling they said it is from cutting. I did note expect blooms this year but it is a surprise for me to see the plant bloom so fully. Seedlings take several years to bloom. I bought one stephanotis from TT long time ago that never bloomed for me, I had to get rid of it. The current plant I have is from homedepot where I bought it with buds/blooms. It blooms every year without fail and it is one of the best low maintenance plant I have. Where did you buy your aglalia from? The fertlilizer I user is dyna_gro foliage pro. |
Nobile dendrobium. Tag says Christina Princess. Which I suspect is a trade name. Lovely soft fragrance. Very light, but definitely a wafter. |

To Catch a Mermaid
By Suzanne Selfors, '90
Little, Brown and Company, 2007
Buy this book online at University Book Store
Everything goes haywire in the Broom household after 12-year-old Boom Broom brings home a magical baby mermaid. To Catch a Mermaid is a humorous fantasy novel for the middle grades, with illustrations by Catia Chen.
"The blue-green tail arched, then smashed Mertyle's box of rye crisp that she snacked on while watching game shows. It arched again and thwacked the wall, leaving a trail of green slime. What was that thing? A green hand reached out and felt along the bedding until it found a piece of rye crisp. The cracker disappeared into the mass of seagrass, and an unmistakable chomping sound filled the room, followed by a little underwater burp. It was hungry."

Research interests
1. Whole-genome epigenomic analysis of cancer. Research during the past several years has uncovered an array of chromatin changes that control gene regulation during development, cellular differentiation, and disease. Whole-genome chromatin maps are being generated using sequence-based technologies to identify protein binding sites, post-translational modifications to core histone proteins, and methylation groups attached to genomic cytosines. In parallel, large-scale cancer mutation sequencing projects have identified chromatin modifiers as one of the most frequently mutated gene classes. We are developing lab and computational tools to integrate epigenomic maps of primary tumors and cancer cell models to understand the connections between chromatin modifier mutations, epigenomic changes, and gene regulation. We have developed a software pipeline, Bis-SNP, to extract methylation and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) information from whole-genome DNA methylation experiments, and are using this pipeline to investigate patient tumor samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) consortium. We are currently focused on the deconvolution of epigenomic patterns that typically occur in these samples due to the heterogeneous mixture of cancer and other cells that make up the tumor.
2. Control of gene regulation by non-coding regulatory elements. Complex gene regulation in humans relies on hundreds of thousands of short non-coding regulatory sequences that appear throughout the genome as cataloged by individual labs and encyclopedic projects such as ENCODE. Activation of these elements often coincides with increased chromatin accessibility and stereotyped changes in histone modifications and DNA methylation. We have worked with USC collaborators to develop a whole-genome sequencing method called Nucleosome Occupancy and DNA Methylation sequencing (NOMe-seq) to measure chromatin accessibility and DNA methylation simultaneously within individual cells, providing a combinatorial epigenomic profile. We are developing software tools for analysis of NOMe-seq data, and applying these tools to identify novel non-coding regulatory elements in cancer cells. These combined data can be useful for understanding the involvement of specific upstream pathways in activating transcription factors or other chromatin modifying proteins to control regulatory elements and gene expression.
3. Role of nuclear organization alterations in cancer. An emerging picture suggests that key nuclear processes of transcription, DNA replication, and repair are jointly coordinated via the spatial organization of chromosomes within the cell nucleus. Our work and the recent work of others have shown that in cancer, these higher-order nuclear changes are reflected as changes to the long-range domain structure of epigenetic signals in the genome. We hypothesize that chromosomal aberrations that arise in cancer can lead to abnormal nuclear organization and give rise to tumor-promoting transcriptional changes (either by gene activation or gene silencing). We are using whole-genome cancer sequencing data to investigate transcriptional and epigenomic changes that occur adjacent to common chromosomal aberration breakpoints.

Preparing Signal Crayfish
by jeff
I am due out on a conservation trip with my brother along with some chaps from the Lea Valley regional park to look for Viviparous Lizards in May and wanted to catch a few Crays for lunch but hearing this makes me wonder if a rethink is due...???
last edited onMust get more foodie things done!

Next remove the meat from the tail and - this is the important bit, remove the intestine - you can slit along the back or pull off the sort of flap of flesh that covers it. The intestine is just a blackish tube, if you tear it simply rinse of the junk under the tap.
Now head to the claws, snap off the smaller section by bending it back, smack the main body of the claw with a mallet, stone, whatever, remove the meat and remove the shard of hard stuff that resides in the middle.
Takes me about 3 hours to do a days fishing worth.
The only benefit of starving them for 48h is you don't have to remove the intestine. I regularly catch them and grill them on the river bank with a little charcoal brazier I've made for the purpose. For grilling I spike them, remove the head etc etc and just cook the tail with the shell on. Claws get dropped onto the charcoal untiul steam comes out of the top.
Incidentaly spiking doesn't seem to kill them, slicing a severed crayfish head in half doesn't even have much effect.
I've no idea if the coral is edible, I've always assumed not
by jeff
Did wonder if it was just a digestion thing to starve them first... THe digestion track is the same as removing it from a prawn from the sounds of it so that's not a problem... I want to have a boil up on the bank on the day on my little gas stove, looking forward to it!!!
Must get more foodie things done!
by dougal
I'd guess that in polluted waters, their meat would accumulate the nasties, (nevermind whats in the digestive tract), especially if the crays are eating other things that have themselves accumulated pollutants. In Minemata (sp?), Japan, IIRC the mercury was first accumulated in mussels, which were eaten by something, which was then eaten by Tuna, which the people made the mistake of eating...
And it seems these ruddy crays will eat anything and everything thats convenient...
by jeff
Same River Lea but much futher up into Hertfordshire where it is a great deal cleaner!!!
I am suprized that you say this about their flavour, I have mainly had glowing reports regarding their taste... How did you cook them? I know that you can easily over-cook small crustatians such as Longestean (spelling?) etc and their flavour can quickly deteriate...
Must get more foodie things done!
by Oneforthepot
I'll give the coral a try this season, I'm not fond of it as is ( in fact I hate scallop corals ) but it would go nicely in a batch of potted crayfish.

Excellent Stay, Beautiful View, Great Owners
We stayed in this lovely efficiency condo at the end of March, beginning of April. Michelle was fantastic to work with and she was very efficient in answering all communications. The condo was clean and the balcony view was second to none. The management company on site were very nice and we were able to exchange our towels daily for clean ones. We definitely will be back for future stays. We absolutely loved Anna Maria Island. Thanks for sharing your condo with us. Sandy and Rick
Great getaway
Great place to just get away. Room has everything one would need. One thing we like is room overlooks the beach and located close to great restaurants.

Sega is finally returning to the hardware market... well, sort of.
It's releasing a set of laptop PCs in Japan called the Sega Note, each designed to look like a retro Sega console.
The four covers - Mega Drive, Saturn, Dreamcast and standard blue Sega - can be removed and replaced, meaning you wouldn't need to buy four laptops.
However, while there are four different models, each with their own specs, only the most expensive "Premium" model (costing £1359) comes with all four covers.
For that you're getting a 2.40GHz Intel Core i7-3630QM Processor, 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GT650M 1GB graphics card, a 120GB SSD and a Blu-ray writer.
Given the price of the Premium and the fact that you'd need to import it from Japan, it seems that for now all most of us can do is stare at them lovingly. If you're made of money though, you can pre-order them here from Enterbrain.

Her father came out later from a store.

I was an hour into researching the food of Seychelles when it hit me - hadn't there been someone in my writer's group who went to these amazing islands a year or so back? Images of suggestive two-lobed coconuts and pirate stories popped into my brain. Yep. That's right. Barry had been there. Barry who lives the life of a wandering bachelor, who jets off at the drop of a hat to see this place or that, and who loves to tell the tales almost as much as going. Barry who might be in … [Read more...]
Recipe: Massalé Spice Blend
The spice drawer is the most sensual part of any kitchen. On the inside seemingly innocuous dry, brittle seeds rattle around, each with the power to take our minds from continent to content, country to country. All we need is a little warmth to coax their magic out and something like a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle. Today's daydream takes us the Seychelles where they enjoy this haunting spice blend called "massalé" (a variation on Indian garam masala) in coconut fish curries. The … [Read more...]
Recipe: Creamy Coconut & Banana Tart
Imagine sitting by the sea one lazy afternoon, focused on the tattered nets of nearby fishing boats, when something big and hard bumps against your foot. When you look down, you see a giant, two lobed coconut has washed up, onto the sand. From end to end, this coconut is as long as your forearm, with tufts of hair poking out between the brown, oblong lobes. She would have traveled hundreds (thousands!) of miles to reach you, all the way from the Seychelles. And you'd know she came from … [Read more...]
Recipe: Coconut Fish Curry | Cari de Poisson
When the sun dips low and spreads her rouge all over the sky, I enjoy knowing that this glorious watercolor of light travels around the world like a comet, leaving behind a glowing trail for all to see. No matter where they are from, or where they are going. The sun has universal beauty. It makes me smile to know that, somewhere in the Seychelles - half a world away - they, too, see her rose and curried colors curl through the clouds, right before bedtime. And I imagine that maybe, … [Read more...]
About the food of the Seychelles
"Water, water, every where. But not a drop to drink." This week we're stovetop traveling through the lush, greenery of 115 African islands, whose soft sands and coral beds peep out between the waves of the Indian Ocean. This is the Seychelles. In this tree carpeted and sand brushed landscape, fresh water is so scarce, it's presence is officially designated as "negligible." Looking outward towards the turquoise ocean, there's a sense of calm. Looking inwards towards the granite … [Read more...]

What are your room dimensions?
My parents house recently burnt down and I'm trying to come up with a nice efficient floorplan for their new house. Here is what I'm working with: *Approximately 1000 sf
Really what I'm wanting to know is what your room sizes are so I know how small I can go yet still function. If anyone has small floorplans with mudrooms they could share that would be awesome too. Thank You! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Room sizes are less important than layout, IMO - placement of doors, windows, architectural features like fireplaces can really limit how a room functions, especially a smaller room. My house is <1250sf but it's an old Victorian with a lot of "remuddling" so there is a great deal of wasted space. My current mudroom, for example, is approximately 6x8' but it also has five doors - side porch which is the primary entrance, back yard, half bath, laundry closet, kitchen - and one large window so it's pretty much just a useless pass-through area, there's nowhere to hang or put anything. The best mudroom I've had only had about 4' square floor space but it only had two doors, one to the outside and one to the kitchen, and the other two walls had floor to ceiling closet/cabinet storage. It was a little extension on a small cabin I rented in college, making an "airlock" style entrance to keep the cold Maine winter out. I've had an 8x8' kitchen (wall to wall, not open floor area) that was efficiently designed and a joy for two people to work in without banging elbows; my current kitchen is MUCH larger (something like 14x18' just for the actual kitchen part; PO opened up the back half of the house so the kitchen/dining room area together is something like 18x20-ish) but it's so badly laid out that it's a real pain for people who actually cook. DH and I are constantly crashing into each other and there's jack for storage. You might want to ask over on the Kitchens forum about small eat-in kitchens, too, some people have come up with ingenious designs. WRT bedrooms, if you use built-ins or something like Ikea's PAX system for storage there is less need for freestanding space-eating furniture like dressers and thus you can have a smaller room. Personally I wouldn't want to go smaller than 10x12' to comfortably accomodate a queen bed and two not-too-big nightstands and have plenty of room for doors' swing, DH and me moving around at the same time, etc. Mum's craft room should have tons of built-in-type storage to keep clutter from accumulating and make more efficient use of the room. If she sews, an in-the-wall folding ironing board is a must! Have you searched this forum for the words "plans" and "floorplans"? I know many people have posted sites with floorplans. |

In my previous small house, I had only 8 windows in the story and a half Cape Cod style house. But because the windows were all large, the house did not feel dark at all. Ask your parents if they are "bedroom" people. Ha! Ask if they spend a lot of time in their bedroom relaxing, reading, etc. or do they mainly go in their bedroom to sleep and change clothes. I'm not a "bedroom" person so a large bedroom is not a high priority. In my old 1910 bungalow my bedroom is about 11' x 13'. And I wish I had a good sized mudroom for the dog, recycling, boots, coats, etc. I wouldn't mind if the washer/dryer were in the mudroom - and some cabinet storage. |
