Hi there,I'm an architecture student currently drawing up some floor plans for a small studio (kitchenette, bathroom and small living area) and I was wondering if placing the small bathroom near the kitchen would make more economical sense than putting it elsewhere.Since I suspect that a small studio only requires one source of water so doing this would mean having to use less piping, which itself implies not having to pump water so farSurely this has positive economical consequences?Thanks to anyone who can shed any light on the matter!Ps: feel free to suggest any other cost-saving techniques that I could put into practice
fire alarms could properly be extra on via greater beneficial than only fire there's a fire alarm suited outdoors the front bathing room in my abode and if the bathwater is steamy warm, as quickly as the door is opened, the fire alarm is going off for that there is likewise one interior the eating room and in case you burn toast interior the toaster, it is going to circulate off
Well, in your situation I think fire is the least of your worries right now. I think that mobile homes are said to burn faster because of the materials used, and I have read that it can have to do with their shape. A mini home is just a small mobile. The newer ones are probably better than older ones since they're built much more like conventional homes now. Mobile homes have gyproc but it's a bit thinner than a stick built house has. However, I don't think mobiles are any more likely to catch fire in the first place than a conventional house. I live in one and I don't see any special risks in it. It can't be all that much more risky, or my insurance premuim would be a lot higher. It's bit higher than in my last house, but I'm a mile from the nearest fire hydrant now; at the last place it was next door. Most of the things that start fires are within your control: don't drop cigarettes on the couch, keep matches and lighters away from the kids, don't overload your electrical system, don't go out and leave the stove on, burn candles safely if at all, etc etc. Make sure you have really good smoke alarms, get carbon monoxide detectors, test them and replace the batteries when needed, make sure the kids know what to do if there's a fire. Buy a few small fire extinguishers to keep around, especially in the kitchen, and don't stash them in a drawer somewhere. Mount them on the wall where you can find them instantly. Your local fire department would probably be happy to tell you all about fire safety. Ask them. Take their advice and then don't worry. Most house fires happen because someone did something stupid. Educate yourself so you don't.
They go up fast because they use a lot of plastic materials in them, but they have improved them in recent years. If it is a manufactured home it makes little difference what you call it.
