Some years ago I played a game with a deep customisation for character creation. Well I was quite impressed, I was used to MMORPG where you had 6 faces to choose from, 6 hair cut and hair colour.
In this game you could customise many details, head size, body size, height, and many cursors for face details.
That game was Perfect World, it was probably around 2008-2009.
I guess now many recent MMORPG do better when it comes to character creation.
Oh I see! Some new house have flat root here, but I never really checked how it was done.
It’s a bit like pool’s floor.
I read that to get rid of asbestos it’s a pain here, there are many rules.
If you want to do it yourself you have to ask authorities for permission. You are allowed to do it only on cement blocks.
A diagnosis is mandatory before any work on it, which will decide if you can do a part of the work alone or not.
Yeah you need to be careful working around asbestos, especially if you need to drill or anything that would make particles.
That was interesting, thanks for the conversation 🙂
Hahaha yeah, but in winter the walls can get really cold. In summer it keep the house cool.
Oh wood is known to be a good natural insulation!
Flat roof? It’s rarely raining? You never have violent rain?
So it’s a construction in wood from the 50s? Wow. Does it age well? Does it require a lot of maintenance?
I’m wondering about asbestos from the 50s, here if it’s starting to crumble it’s extremely expensive to get rid of it.
Here roof is around 40-45 degree incline, and composed of oak frame also. And no asbestos I tried to avoid that at all cost. It was used a lot in the 70s and early 80s.
Traditional houses from the 70s are usually a basement and the house upstairs.
Basement is often half or totally underground.
Then the wall are made with cinder blocks, empty air and bricks.
There is chimney (not sure the term in English), so you can heat with wood, but most of the time there is central heating with Gaz or Fuel to replace or in complement.
How is it in your country ?
Hotter inside than outside must be a nightmare especially to sleep.
I manage to keep temperature around 23/24 during summer and exceptionality 26/27 during heat wave. But I don’t have AC.
It’s a bit more difficult on winter when the max temperature of the day is 1-2 degrees and there is no sun. Radiators need work frequently to keep 18 degrees.
I wish we would have more sunny winter days.
It’s a house from the early 70s in France.
There was almost no insulation. First rules to improve that started around 1974.
How does it work in Australia? Does gouv try to help people to improve that in old houses?
I guess it would be great for summer as I think it’s pretty warm there.
I set temp to 18C when at home during the day, and 16/17C when away or night.
Bad insulation (empty air…), so if I lower too much it take hours to heat up again.
