Anyway.....

Nice place this for sure but i think i know what these people's favourite animated movie is....

And this one is a bit special and probably only suitable if you ever competed in on the balance beam on olympic level.

And i cant see any other way to get there than this:



All that in the part of Amsterdam where you can shovel the self-righteousness of the street.

It wouldn't have been a big job to put in handrails either side of that walkway. Fcuked if I'd like to negotiate that after a few bevvies.

How in the name of jesus did that pass any sort of building control? Do they even have building regs in The Netherlands?
Even if I didn't drink I'd never go near that. Imagine if you had a kid in the house?

Seen it all now.... Dutch building control\regulations being questioned on an Irish website.

Whatever someone does inside the 4 walls of his own house has nothing to do with building control or building regs.
They only come into play if you are going to take down walls of built extensions.
Rules are so strict, you cant even paint the outside of your own place in a colour you desire.

I live in Belfast and work in Building Control which is enforceable in the UK so I can question their rules if I like and compare them to what exists here. Thanks.

If that was constructed here it wouldn't have been give a certificate as it doesn't comply with Part K of the regulations. Any structural changes (including changing a stair or walkway or constructing something like that in your roofspace) are all subject to building control and require applications. I don't know how it works in Amsterdam as I've never looked into it, which is why I asked the question about their laws.

Your own words. That is not questioning rules. That is wondering if there are rules. In a condescending way even.
Well, last part is how i picked it up.

You actually think that a country that built the Afsluitdijk, The Flevopolder, The Delta works, the Stormvloedkering and many other things all over the world has no building regulations?

tea and coffee

Pic 8 there are white stairs.
Can't see the 2nd bedroom tho. Or is the walkway from the 1st to the 2nd bedroom with only the 1st bedroom having the stairs?

So cramped with the triangle, you'd be walloping your head the whole time

And what's with all the jars and little sets of ceramic drawers everywhere?!

From my point of view that construction is insanity but as I said, I'm not aware of how the regs work in Amsterdam. And going by the fact that 'regulations' are a wishy washy term in the South with no real enforcement, I thought it might've been the same sort of system over there.
But seeing as how you just said that there are no building regs that are applied to things like this sort of internal work then yeah, I was right. There are no rules. So I stand by my disbelief. If you choose to pick up as condescending there's not much I can do about that tbh.

In most people's view it is an insane construction.
That is the whole point of me posting it here. Take a look at the thread title.

Still... that doesnt make it against any regulations. Might not be the safest place to have toddlers growing up or an ideal situation for a wheelchair user but i am pretty sure the building isnt going to collapse anytime soon with those beams.
After all, most of the building in that street were built in the 17th century.

It wasnt a choice of mine to pick it up as condescending i just read it that way.
After reading what you have to say about the "South" i think i read it just the way it was meant to be.

There are definitely building regs in the rest of Europe. Yes, I know, crazy.
The thing is, as long as you don't touch the structure of a building, it usually is okay. If you want to use a scaffolding plank in your own home to go from a to b, that is your responsibility.
If, in the event you want to sell your house with scaffolding plank from a to b, it is fine, as long as the potential buyer is fine with it. If he isn't, then they move on to the next house or look for a better solution when they do buy the place.
Furthermore, in the rest of the EU it is mandatory to have a home/house insurance. And would you believe it, there is no insurance claim culture like there is in the USA, Ireland or the UK. You take responsibility for yourself.

Looks like they whipped out the roof and have an open attic.

Must be absolutely freezing in the Winter

Gas central heating and proper insulation will take care of that.
One of the most expensive parts in Amsterdam to buy so you will not see people there who have to think 2x about every euro they spend.

It does say in the advert that it is ripe for renovation. And I agree. It seems like the interior is a throwback to the <insert whichever decade you wish>

Dutch are probably the second tightest people on the planet, they would most definitely think about every euro they spend :pac:

It's probably lost a few stone(s) since those photos were taken, years ago....
They couldn't even be bothered to snap a few pictures with a phone and send them in.
To add insult to injury, it's in someone's back yard and has no direct access to the road.

If you stuck a bit of roof and some windows on it you could fit at least 20 students in there, charge them 500 a month each and you'd be minted.
