I just found myself on the “House Chat” forum by mistake.
Is this a new or recently-added forum, or have I been asleep at the switch? It seems a little redundant, and that’s why it took me a few minutes to realize my error.
I assume “House Chat” is supposed to be to Inspired House what “Breaktime” is to FHB with more design and decorating discussions.
I can’t wait to see the photos from the first House Chat / Breaktime Fest!

Supposed to be. They're having a hard time making the distinction, though. About half the threads I respond to, I suggest they also post here. Some do, some don't.
Same here. I visit there and keep telling people they'd get better advice on building, electrical, plumbing questions over here. They seldom listen.
You are right. I can keep up over there by stopping in once every ten days or so as well as keeping up here with a once a day visit.But there are people ther who NEED our help!

Many who post here might feel like god's over there...at least for a little while...I see the Piffmeister is posting there already.
It will be interesting to see if this redundancy self-corrects or if Taunton will take steps to direct traffic.

Its nice over there sometimes. There arent many fights, only the thread gestapo. Youll know it when you see it.
Yea its kind of godlike, but when I need a hand over there its hard to get anyone to check out the poor persons question. I asked a bunch of the regulars here to respond over there to a framing question that was out of my understanding, and I think one guy out of the bunch looked at it.
It can be like the lounge, and plenty of laziness, but many are thrilled if a skilled trades person, or design person can help them.

Are there any neocons there?
blueJust because you can, doesn't mean you should!
Warning! Be cautious when taking any framing advice from me. There are some in here who think I'm a hackmeister...they might be right! Of course, they might be wrong too!
I dunno, but if design is in the mix, there are probably plenty of oldlibs.
I think cooks chat is more political. lol

Someone over there asked what color a bathroom should be and I answered warm colors, thinking of how green and blue reflected off walls makes a person look kind of sickly--got all sorts of grief over that. Someone asked similar question about painting a dining room and I answered the same. Someone said something to the effect that warm colors would make you hungry and who wanted to be hungry in a dining room? I finally deleted all my answers.
>> I finally deleted all my answers.I don't see why. That's valuable information, even if some posters disagree with you.
I guess in this case they wore me down--the original question was asked and I answered it and got quite a few disagreeing replies (and I can understand that not everyone agrees with me, which is fine). But it seemed like weeks later I'm being notified that one more person has a reply, so I look and it's negative and after a couple of those over the course of another week, I just got tired of it. The question had been beaten to death. I should have just asked not to be told of replies, but I'm curious. The one that took the cake for me was the person who wondered why you would want to make food look appetizing in a dining room.
That'd be like asking why you would want to hire sexy babes if you were running a strip club.

Dan you reminded me of this job I did in jersey. I went to this house where a woman and her mother lived. They wanted to repaint the bathroom. I went and looked at it, and it was this dreadful muddy pink color.
So, I was painting the rest of the house as well, they finally decided on the bathroom color, they wanted a just slightly different shade of muddy pink. I didnt flinch, but when I was alone? I painted that, and a light coffee color, and the mother thought the coffee was way out there and nagged until the rest of the house was white.
Man.

out of all the painting I have done or seen done, the reds and pinks are the ones that get changed again the most
