this sign just sums it up.....always made me laugh.....
.
I had 5 years in heavan.....Blondes, cheap tooling and Harleys.....hahaha....
Now..... too old, too fat and not enough money......
I found a cheap 2 up,2 down wooden planked "cottage" on a very small plot.....
between Wesminster and Seal Beach.....needed work......
It was almost 500,000$ almost 50 years ago.....
I bought a new 2up,two down terraced/row house in S Manchester 40 years ago for £12,000 cash....

I'm jealous...In Britain this larder-closet would be classed as " a good-sized-kitchen "
In many places in the US, that's the case. And if you go back far enough, many of the houses had an open fireplace and no kitchen at all, just a dry storage area and then an outdoor kitchen later to be supplemented by a cookstove that pulled double duty.
The large open kitchens (let's say in 2500SF or more two floor houses) occupying a large amount of the first floor is sort of a new thing.
In the more affluent neighborhoods, large "dad's kingdom" unfinished basements are going away, too. 5000SF and nowhere to make dirt is becoming common unless the builder decides otherwise (a relative has a house that's 5100SF above and below ground - the prior owner had the far end of the basement sectioned off and sunken a further 3 feet to make a long workshop with 12 foot ceilings. The prior owner headed south to the warm weather and left all kinds of old commercial equipment and said relative sold it for pennies on craigslist - which leaves a separate topic of interest here - how rarely an avid woodworker's tools get sold the way they think they will be sold....but that's a separate topic).
Firstly, great work there, looks fab!
I see those size houses on films etc and think 'wow, theyve got so much space out there' and then remind myself that theyve also got crammed cities as well.... one day id love to get a place with space
If you were a landlord, thatd be classed as an extra bedroom
Edited because i messed up a quote

Maybe they had 6 extensions

Appliances are in. Paneled look nice (hence why I chose them) but what a pain to install.
spent last night building these lazy susan trays. Supply issues made me order the plastic ones, but they flex to much to actually use. So I knocked these out. I'd much rather have just bought them.

I'd be very scared of dropping something sharp on the nice floor.....

For spindle moulders I have a bridgewood 511, Casolin f90 and an invicta Ti-14.
The shop is a "3 car" garage 20'x30', though I do hope to build a dedicated building one day.

Wow, that’s good. I shall be setting up a workshop in PA in the next couple of years, I might be asking you what makes of equipment to be looking at nearer the time, it certainly looks like a professional set up you have there. Ian

Nice workshop Jar. The jointer/planer looks epic. How wide is that?
Sure I'd be happy to give free advice..lol
Most/all of my equipment has been second hand so I generally got whatever was available (and cheap).

They do say you can never have too many hats, gloves, and spindle moulders!
Lovely work.
I dump the dust out at the back of the property, it piles up and I spread it out to keep the weeds down beyond where I have the fence.
I've had my truck in the garage but it didn't fit well enough to actually be able to park in there.
I certainly agree on the never too many spindles.
Granite came yesterday. They cut the cooktop 1.5" to wide so they had to cut another slab. Worked out in the end though. I still need to do a bunch more things to finish the install, but at least it will be functional for Christmas 
.
I had them include a stone stool. I think I will work out well once I add the moulding.
And what it looked like a few weeks ago

Nyuck, Nyuck, Nyuck!
Looks great. We have one of the Fisher & Paykel dishwashers too. Great machine for a couple and the second drawer comes into its own when you have a full load. You'll like it.
