After shit-talking Viking ranges and serious vent hoods as status symbols that trickled down from the truly elite who have them for caterers (or regular household staff!) to use, realize I might actually be getting some for Karafuto, because like
- Remember how I occasionally mention I’m rich gentry?
- With ambitions?
- And like, am basically structuring the backyard as suitable for everyday use OR as a 50+ person entertaining venue?
Like, there is a real chance I will have caterers here on multiple occasions.
Ah, so when you said “build a shed so someone can change into swimmers for the hot tub”, the implicit “if they’re shy and don’t want to just skinny-dip” might not be the only interpretation, it could be you want to party. Like, in a vaguely classy way compared to bottom-tier takeaway pizza and some six-packs of beers. The classy dining not being incompatible with hot tubbing sans swimsuit, of course, if you want to party like the American West Coast upper class.
and there’ll be racks for clothing and a bin of towels and as long as we’re running water out back for the tub anyway a shower head, like at the beach, only it’ll spray onto dirt under where I’ve dug a pit lined with plastic and filled with rocks with spokes going off to get water to the areas that get hella dry in summer
And there’ll be a water fountain with attached foot tap and bowl for dogs, and it’ll be dual purpose good for both entertaining or for use when working outside in the heat.
