Hi All

Tomorrow I am meeting with a builder/contractor who is going to be remodeling the small school house for me to move into.

I am definately getting insect screens on windows and doors. Im getting a new bathroom (being an old 'traditional' korean house - it currently only has a shower head over a large plastic bucket!)

I am going to ask for some extra bench space - and of course an air con. Perhaps some built in bookshelves.

Some of you have been in Korea a long time, many have lived in several different houses and apartments. Given the choice to add something that you have perhaps seen, or wish you had - such as more storage or cupboards ... what would you ask for?
I'd love to hear some ideas!

Thanks.

Counter space for food prep, a place to hang coats and store shoes by the front door. A good bathroom vent fan to blow out the steam from the shower otherwise you have mold/mildew problems.

the thingy in the bathroom man...if you have no windows in there it can turn into a sauna in summer...def need something to circulate/get rid of the air!!

None of the apts./villas I have lived in have had a back door. Man, I miss that (especially in the ground floor places!). If I were to move into a 'house' a back door would be top of my list.
