Off Topic The SIR Kenny Dalglish Public House

Must admit I've never seen a room with one of these stair boxes in and although you've posted the picture, I'm still struggling to imagine it with a bed built on over to the window wall

Will need a pic when it's done.

 

I hate when houses leave that box. Our is actually a 45° slab which is worse than useless.

I reckon there's little enough needed to build that in. 1/2" mdf base delivered cut to size and a bit of a frame.

 

I just google imaged it and now it makes sense. Basically this is what G could have depending on width of stair box [bulkhead they seem to be calling it]

Yeah more or less. Mine is not as large as that stairs. That one is pretty massive.

 

It was just the angled shape I meant. I've never seen a house with a stair box/bulkhead in one of the bedrooms so I guess the shape and height depend on the configuration of the stairs. Seems crazy to me. Our downstairs toilet is under the stairs so the ceiling slopes, as you would imagine but taking space out of a bedroom is mad, surely house designers can do better than that.

 

They fake a 4th bedroom imo. They really make the house foot print too small imo and steal some out of the "box room"

 

Don't talk to me about beds. Had a nightmare getting our youngest's bed into her room, but think it looks ok now it is in

My youngest insists on sleeping on 100 mattresses.

We sometimes put a pea under them to annoy her.

 

you pee on your daughters bed

 

Book a crane and take out the windows mate. Thats what I did.

this is just after they dropped it.

I bet your servants broke their back getting that up the main staircase.

 

You won't believe that when I saw the picture the first thing I thought was the pea under the mattress story

 

I hire Russian prostitutes to do it for me.

 

Ahhh... makes sense now.

 

I had a room with one when I was a kid. My dad built a cabin bed above it

 

Will be like that but without doors, leaving it open with storage tubs instead. For one, it's easier (although I'm more than capable of pitting doors or draws there) and secondly it gives him a den to hide in if he wants (I'll be covering the underneath too so no exposed screws etc)

 

Stair boxes???

 

Good morning All. Drinks on me today. See Tobes the barman.

 

I think they occur where modern house designers are so inept they can't design one without the headroom for the staircase intruding into an upstairs room and having to be boxed in.

 

The Bar is empty.
