Housing Expansion Ideas

This might have been discussed before, but there's ideas getting thrown around here: beta.glitch.com/forum/gener...

The ability to expand your own house is a hotly discussed topic. I remember we discussed carpentry abilities and the idea of expanding your cabinet space. I think it would be a fun solo-type project to be able to climb the Bureaucratic Arts and maybe a Carpentry skill tree to expand your home to include a basement (for those houses in the Meadows and Forest areas that want dark patches and Jellisacs) or a Greenhouse (for Shimla houses that want gardens and patches).

You'd have to get your permits from the Bureaucratic Hall, and then maybe ala the Street Projects, start a House Project where you have to go and harvest planks and maybe dig the earth from your house and get rid of it somewhere (donate it to Projects! Full circle!) and then you might need to pay for a "Contractor" to come and finish the job for you.

Just throwing out some ideas, because I really want a basement in my house!

  • Bump for disappointment over new housing all looking exactly like the already existing Shimla houses. I understand that it's the same sort of area, but a little variety wouldn't hurt.

  • I'd love this.  I never thought of a basement.  Then I could have my very own egg plant! and jellisacs and maybe even barnacles! :)

  • I would love a basement too. And a terrace or a roof garden!

    If ever there is 'Astronomy' skill it will be cool to do some star gazing :)

  • I think there are some houses with a basement, actually. 

    Saw one recently... Shimla Mirch, perhaps?

  • +1.  I don't know how to improve on this idea or expand on it.

  • I would like an attic or a basement in the groddle houses, somewhere we could release fireflies?
    I'd love a seat to sit on,
    but most of all a hot tub would be great, imagine the parties we could have.

  • being able to do interior design would be awesome. either thru "house decor" vendors or some kind of interior decor marts would be so cool. it *might* decrease the interest in real-estate purchases, but some how i doubt it. different sector of glitch-ers entirely.

    paintings?
    bedding?
    rugs?
    furniture?
    kitchen?
    window dressing?

    there was also the suggestion of renting out your house, if there was the possibility of owning multiple houses.

  • A kitchenette is mentioned elsewhere in the ideas forum and I really really want to see that. I'm almost considering not doing the cooking skill next reset because it involves keeping so much stuff, both in terms of the tools & in terms of the ingredients. 

    I would like to see different rooms for different purposes, each with storage. So, I could keep cooking stuff in the kitchen, seeds & garden tools in my garden shed, ore griding & alchemy things in my workshop, interesting specialty items (like the yeti) in a display case in the living room, etc...
