The fiance and I are looking to build a gaming room in what it now a poorly appropriated office. Can anyone offer recommendations for low cost desks or counter material for building a his/hers desktop PC gaming station?
Doortop desks? That's what I went with for mine, anyway. Get a solid core door, maybe stain and some protectant/sealant. Cut up some 4x4's for legs, cut some 1x2's for cross support, and maybe screw a steel support beam across the bottom to help prevent sag.

Low cost might be questionable but I made one from ikea stuff
BTW here is that indoor hot tub room. Its off of the extra family room.
As for it being a sex room. The wifey and I have used it as such a couple of times, but honestly this thing gets used like twice a year.
I really want to rip it out and open up the back of the house from the family room to the sun room with the fireplace. It would give my kitchen a few extra feet in width too.
Ah, so you can show your love to the world. Got it.
Also you need to have more sex. Twice a year isn't gonna cut it.
Do note that peacocks can be loud. There's actually one looking for a new home in our neighborhood. Apparently his been living semi-free since his original owners abandoned him and is taken care of by an adoptive family, but now new neighbors are complaining about the noise.

They're super annoying. I grew to hate them living in Orlando as a kid with multiple of them in our neighborhood.

I was kidding. Yard already comes with bunnies, so I’m good on wildlife for now

I remember a mall here had them on display for a a couple of years and their calls were loud and constant. I would not want to live anywhere near one.
Peacocks are loud dickheads and all people really want is a fan of the feathers to go "ooooooh"
Just buy some feathers, stick em on some wood and save your money.
We're just far enough away from wherever it is he lives that the occasional call adds a cool jungle feel to the neighborhood, but yeah, if he was in my neighbor's backyard I'd be less thrilled about the situation.
And I just now saw a local FB post that he found a permanent home out in the country with a guy who already has a bunch of other furred and feathered critters, so it's a reasonably happy ending.

I bought one of these off Amazon last year. It's pretty solid (holds 300 lbs) and wasn't too difficult to put together. You could do a pair of those and set em side by side.
The most egregious part for me is the closets 4 inches from the lip of a soaker tub.
Also this is the best way to break legs and or kill yourself at 3 in the morning when you fall in.
So, I assume the tub is positioned so that when the monster in the mirror attacks, people will take a step back and fall? Seems a bit unrealistic, if you ask me.
Reminds me of my parents' old house. It's built on a hill, and there was a 10' drop from the front lawn to the back, done with a retaining wall. The problem was that it wasn't fenced at all. You could totally just walk off a 1-story drop, and there was a rumor that someone in the last family to live there actually did. (Mom converted it into a terrace pretty quick.)

Just a bleary eyed stumble back from that sink. My bones hurt just thinking about it!
Between you and me, Peggy, I smoked this Juul and it did UNTHINKABLE things to my mind and body...
Before that image I was mildly interested in the idea of having a tub like that... But now I realize how bad of an idea it is! Maybe if it was in a room by itself it would work.
This is making me realize that D&D missed the amazement which was this house posted over on SE++, that everyone here needs to experience if you didn't see it over there.

It's not an entirely bad idea. It just needs to be at least 10 feet away from... well everything. Literally right next to the sink and closet is sheer stupidity.

Also that roof is giving me twitches. IT FUNNELS RAINWATER ONTO THE FUCKING SKYLIGHT. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A SKYLIGHT? THEY ALL LEAK!!!

My guess is that it comes with a cover that you can stand on when not in use.

Upon further reflection hough, I question the logistics of even getting in and out of a flush tub like that. There's a clear elevation change that's going to fuck up your center of gravity and balance. You're certainly not going to just step into it and are probably going to at least kneel down first. And then probably have to crawl out on your hands and knees. There are no handholds, nothing to grab on to, not even basic steps to get in and out.
It's something you'd at least design around. But even if that specific tub was away from everything, as is I'd be scared to death trying to get in and out of it while bone dry, to say nothing of it being slippery wet.

We had a sunken bath ages ago, and while I don't remember the logistics of using it I don't recall me or my parents having any issues with it.
I need it. I spent 4 hours sanding and painting an old exterior window today, then realized I have 4 more to go.... I honestly think it would be easier to just buy new windows then to sand and paint 4 more.... fml.
My wife and I have plenty of sex you bastards... There is my birthday, her birthday, our anniversary, flag day, and of course 4th of July(because I always salute America!). That is 5 times you asses!

On the one hand, if you bathe correctly and responsibly, there's next to no splashback or water leaking of any kind. You just waterproof everything around it anyways because, well accidents happen.
On the other hand, I don't see a shower curtain. That water is going everywhere.
On the third hand, and the most important hand. Is that an electric baseboard heater under the bathtub?!

Apparently this isn't super uncommon and it's speculated that there's a requirement for height over sceptic tank, so that's the easiest way to reach it.

Why... Why is there a down spout coming horizontally out of the siding?

All that humidity and wood though gives me an aneurysm.

It basically takes up one side of the office.
this yard feels empty without it
Check your local livestock sellers? People raise peafowl here, so it can't be that difficult to get some.

Everyone wants a hot tub. Until they have one. All of those people want to get rid of it.

My grandparents had a carpeted bathroom. I could never figure out the logic there.
There has to be a way to get it to work though.
The idea of stepping out of a shower and then rolling around on the floor to dry yourself is appealing.
No cold tiles, less slipperly etc.
Maybe something like fitted sheets, but for carpets so they can be replaced and washed?
