the vent is to reduce the condensation by keeping the glass warm, so moist interior air doesn't bang into an ice-cold pane of glass and release moisture. (that is not an excuse for lousy design obv)

I'm seeing the reverse of that: ice-cold dry air blowing against a pane of glass with murky warm muggy conditions on the other side of it.

The perspective of that photo makes it look like a dollhouse.
― Yerac, Thursday, 16 May 2019 13:27 (four years ago) link
Yes! I don't know if it's just because we have a loft conversion with a pitched ceiling where the walls are literally half that height, but I spent a minute staring at it thinking "why is there a strange half-height window flush with the floor? And why are those chairs so tiny..."
― The Pingularity (ledge), Thursday, 16 May 2019 13:34 (four years ago) link
It's very dollhouse looking furniture too.
― Yerac, Thursday, 16 May 2019 13:36 (four years ago) link
The perspective definitely isn't helping matters.
1.) Welcome to the American South.
2.) You can't have a vent dangling from the pitched ceiling rafters.

ok, i admit i can no longer remember where the vents where when i lived in the south, and actually the only ones i can specifically picture were in the floors.
― Good morning, how are you, I'm (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 16 May 2019 13:47 (four years ago) link
Makes no sense though. That cold air isn't going to rise.
― Evan, Thursday, 16 May 2019 13:48 (four years ago) link
Those vents in the floor are so prevalent I can feel it on my feet as I walk on it.

My parents had huge rugs over wall to wall carpeting. I think they thought it was saving the carpeting from wear.

Used to work with an energy efficiency expert who hosted his own Saturday morning talk show. "Where's the hottest part of the house in the summer? THE ATTIC! Where does every contractor want to put your air conditioning? IN THE ATTIC!"

the whole curtain situation is extremely DIY - flimsy curtain rod FIXED TO THE MOULDING argh. wrong length because it was just taken out of the package and put up. (if they'd actually fixed the rod where it ought to go it would be exactly the right height!)
i'm imagining the conversation that led to that curtain going up. the swearing involved.
you can see they've pushed the curtain a bit over next to the window to keep it clear of the vent.. i wonder how many times a week they have to do that
― Lil' Brexit (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 16 May 2019 14:59 (four years ago) link
- what is so bad out the window that it was preferable to have the janky curtain closed for the photo?

That's an air return vent to the right of the "stairs"*. Bet there's dust still there from 1991.

they're just dinky old steps if they're bare but if you put carpeting on them they become a complete staircase

I'm overly cynical about many things, but I do admit to sometimes getting charmed by a real estate agent's perverse sense of optimism.
