Ideal fungeon accessory alert!

Seems like shipping to Atlanta would be cost prohibitive. Easier just to have your local fungeon craftsman build one for you.

Keep it within the StyFo fambly and commission @SkinnyGoomba (can't tag him; did he quit the forvm?!) to build one for you.

Sheeeit, i don’t want screaming kids in my backyard for 8 hours either


Actually, we have onsite daycare in the office. One of the VP’s has an office facing the basketball/multipurpose court. They had to reposition the court after he complained about the kids bouncing balls off his window during outdoor playtime

Not going to lie, my neighbor's kids growing up increased my quality of life enormously. No more shrieking kids on the trampoline for hours at a time? Yes please.


I'm all for getting rid of single family zoning but not really sure how many perpetually daycare aged kids I'd want next door to me either.

City should have told them to stop being lazy WFH freeloaders and go back to the office! Daycares operate during business hours, so only bums are home to hear them.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.

And if I can employ aphorisms to justify my hypocrisy, by God I'll do it!

WFH? No way any of them work. This is totally cranky old pensioner "Get off my lawn!" type stuff, like the one lady that complained about not being able to open her windows between noon and 1 and between 4 and 5 because of the noise. Two hours a day you have to close your windows? The horror...

It is going from 8 to 16 kids in total and if the house in the pic is accurate, seems like a lot of kids for the space. I did laugh when the opposition said someone could try to open a funeral home, repair shop, corner store, or dry cleaner from their home.

I think this is the big disconnect for me. The idea of having 100 people over for a cocktail party sounds like an absolute nightmare to me. I don't want people in my home: that's where I live.

That's why when you're a big timer you have private spaces and public spaces. Even in my decidedly non-big timer status we have a powder room just for guests in our indoor entertaining spaces then there's the bathroom in the guest house that services our pool/outdoor space. All the other bathrooms are ensuite, and as has been said, you don't want those in use for guests.

I guess I'll flog the dead horse one more time.

I understand that, but the article said 13 full baths. That's 8 not attached to a bedroom. To me, that's a lot. Also why full baths off a living space?

The reality is that isn't actually the case on this house, so the owners agreed they didn't need 8 full bathrooms distributed around the rest of the house.
