pointless

If you do not know what a ROOM is, what are you doing in the appraisal business? Maybe you should intern in a furniture store.


My mother used to say that if I didn't have anything nice to say (or anything to offer in the way of assistance or information) then maybe I shouldn't say anything at all. :nono: There is no stupid question, it is in the asking that we hope to learn from others.
:peace:

I didn't say anything about stupidity! I implied he lacked education in real estate terminology and that more education is probably in order. My "mother" would not have any idea on professional terminolgy. She would have probably named a room for what it is being used as.
 
I hated it when she called the living the barber shop.
 
learnin'

it appears from the responses that NO amount of education will unequivocably answer exactly WHAT makes a room a room.....
Sure, we all have our own definitions and 'styles' of classifying a 'room' as a 'room' in the room count.....but where is the ABSOLUTE correct answer? Which education class should those of us here without 'all the answers' take to fully understand how to count rooms?

It's this statement that is so frustrating...

For USPAP what constitues a room especially when there is open areas without walls.

It means certified appraisers are not reading USPAP.
 
oh!

some of the USPAP authors might be in that same boat?

Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to? Clarence Darrow

hmmmm, i see this quote about speaking 'correct' (proper maybe?) English ends with a preposition.....:Eyecrazy:
 
There's no law that sez you have to speak English good. Appraisers are required to understand USPAP as a requisite to licensing and as part of most assignment conditions.
 
Wardrobe versus Chiffarobe

Ok, messin with Greg again. :new_smile-l:

Chiffarobe has drawers, and wardrobes did not. Not that I am old enough to remember. :)


A chest of drawers used to be called a chiffonier. Around the turn of the century, some smart aleck added drawers to a wardrobe and called it a chiffarobe.

Or another definition is, and I like this one:

An old dresser thing that you bust up and use for kindling.

"Come on over here boy, and bust up this here chiffarobe"
