Your Own Unconventional Bedroom

[Guest Para Astaroth]

you can hear the noise from all over the house.

Basement

@Julius:  But they won't hear you, hee hee :wink:

[StarFoxIII]

Nope we live quite a bit from the sea. It's probably blew of into the woods or the mountains, no one is going to find them there for a long time.

Then if that's the case, it probably landed in pieces, which scattered about, and we'd all be dead by the time the scaffolding is found.

If I had a basement bedroom, I'd make it look like a catacomb/crypt, with some artificial skulls, and electric candles with realistic flickering flames, and I'd attach the electric candles to the tops of the skulls...I'd have a burial-vault-shaped bed, a coffin-shaped coffee table....resin, or poly-resin material made gargoyles....a French veiled mourner statue by the stairs, a grim reaper statue, an easel with a wreath of dead flowers, and bouquets of dead flowers hanging upside-down on the walls...black shroud scrim fabric cloth hanging from the ceiling...I'd paint the floor black, and cover it with area rugs with fallen leaf patterns...

Sounds like a goth's paradise to me.

SWEEEEET!

Exactly! >=} It would be perfect for me...

Well, I'm talking about parts of a house used as a bedroom, when they generally serve a different purpose (although you could use a courtyard, patio, or screened in porch as an "outside bedroom", especially in summer)...generally, you don't wanna sleep outside, trust me.  There are bugs, there's rain, snow, hail...also there's the extreme temperatures.  It's cool you have a basement bedroom.

Hehe, bugs are no threat around here, no venomous ones, and the weather is never extreme heat. The rain, snow and hail would be a drag though, lots of rain.

I like basements, cause being in one, kinda reminds me of being in a catacomb, a grave, a crypt...an underworld. >=]

Geeze louise, I'm almost glad you don't sleep in the basement.

[Guest FoXXX]

So...wait, your attic scaffolding blew away?  I'm sorry to hear that, Asper.  I didn't know Norway had hurricanes, holy s***!

Holy hell 

My basement would just have a bed, computer desk, SF64, and some exercise equipment + Walls covered with Krystal :D

...sounds like Seattle, WA.

Hey! Not cool!   We all have our different tastes, I wouldn't begrudge you for wanting to sleep outside

Holy hell

not bad...I'd build a mock-necromancer's shrine to Krystal in the corner of my basement, with more of those electric candles...and a replica of Krystal's staff, some fake blue fur...

It was before I was born, my mother was pregnant with me at that time. And it wasn't just the scaffolding for the attic that blew away, it was absoluetly all of it it. But as my father works parttime as a lumberjack in his own forest, we made a new one and put it up in no time.

And yes, we absolutely have hurricanes here. You will in fact be hard pressed to find a country with rougher weather than Norway at its worst. That's why we like to make fun of the rest of the world when they encounter harsh weather, saying they wouldn't last many days here.

Again, for those who haven't seen this picture, I live in the house on the left, which is mostly obscured by trees.

Heh, Yeah, I'm sorry.

You know what, with wanting to have a necromancers basement, I bet you'd love to see some of my drawings, I'll have to scan em up... :}

Ahh, I see, thanks.  Cool pic, btw!

Apology accepted, thanks.

Sure, that would be cool to see those drawings, thanks!  I'd like that. Might be a good idea to PM them to me, since the public posting rules here might not allow those images, and I don't wanna get you in trouble.

[Fox-Shot]

I actually live in a basement, so long as you can get heat, it's pretty awesome, but you hear everyone walking around and such.

I wish I lived in a place like that. The area I live in, being in the heart of a vast jungle of glass, concrete and steel, looks nothing like it.

Yeah, it seems awesome...and you do hear all the walking and other noises of the house in a basement bedroom, but to me, the pros outweigh the cons...

wouldn't mind living in that house.

Agreed! Nice place you got there Asper!

Mmmm, looks nice.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Back OT, nothing beats the space and/or privacy factor enjoyed by these unconventional bedrooms....they have their pros, and their cons....

-Basement

Pros: Warm in Winter, Cool in summer, private, spacious, plenty of wall space for shelves or posters, can make all the noise you want in them, sometime have their own entrance/exit to outside...

Cons: Dust falls from the ceiling, musty, all noises of the house resonate down there, potential for vermin infestation, flooding, and/or radon poisoning.  Not safe in Earthquake country.

-Attic

Pros: Good views, roof top access, can install skylights, private, spacious...

Cons: Can be noisy, also all the noise you make there can be heard by everyone in the house, hot in summer, cold in winter, if the roof leaks you're first to know...hard to bring up the furniture into, inconveniently far away from the rest of the house's amenities (kitchen, bathroom, etc.).

-Converted Garage (Attached)

Pros: Can go directly into the house, sometimes has an upper floor loft, spacious...

Cons: can be hot in winter, cold in summer, door needs to be insulated/locked closed...floor needs oil/gas/fluid stains removed, zoning laws might not allow this...noises you make are audible in the house...

-Guest House

Pros: Self contained, your own bathroom and kitchen, comfortable, private

Cons: Cramped, isolated, your parents can charge you rent for living there, guests will need it, forcing you out...

-Converted Garage (Detached)

Pros: Private, sometimes has an upper floor loft, spacious...

Cons: Can be hot in winter, cold in summer, door needs to be insulated/locked closed...floor needs oil/gas/fluid stains removed, zoning laws might not allow this, isolated, using the bathroom means getting out and walking across the yard to the main house (unless you can rig it for indoor plumbing and sewage, or put in a camping shower, a chemical toilet, and get a bulk jar of hand sanitizer).

[Guest FoXXX]

In 2007 I lived in a farm house, my room was in the basement, the basement was custom built, it had a bathroom, bedroom was huuuuuge, and there was another room attached to the bedroom, also there was a wood burning stove It was so great had it all to myself, now I live in a regular bedroom, and the basement in this house is shit :|

oh, man....sorry to hear that...

[Guest FoXXX]

Ya, but it was awesome while I had it :D

[rainfyre66]

I vote basement just because where I live, ain't nobody have basements, so it'd be a total novelty to me. (You can't have 'em because the water is too close to the ground)

I always thought the basement was the foundation

Heh, Yeah, I'm sorry.

You can get beds, sofas, and wardrobs that turn into coffins. Also this guy we know has a used coffin in his passage. Just give it a minute to sink in and...

I've seen those...expensive as hell to buy, a pain in the ass to DIY, assuming you know what you're doing, and assuming you even succeed.  Also, they can be time consuming to make yourself...still awesome though...

If neither solution to the garage plumbing problem works for you, go ghetto and get a bucket, a hose and several bars of stolen motel soap. It's really cheap !

Anyway....

I've always wanted to live in a T-hangar, pretty much a garage for airplanes. I don't care if I have to run a garden hose for water, a propane heater for warmth, a foam pad and sleeping bag for a bed and have to put up with an outhouse in the winter. I can think of nothing better then living with my airplane(s) and motorcycle(s) in the same room. Internet would be nice though. Yes, I do have my priorities in order, thank you.

On second thought, I'd need more of an A-shaped hangar for my Tomcat...
