It came from Facebook! Friend of my fathers who I can always count on to post and share hilarious shithead conservative "memes" just posted this pice of work.  "Shower is a day away from using, 95% complete" Man I hope that last 5% is hiring a contractor to demo it. Near as I can tell there's no waterproofing or liner. It's all raw studs. Gonna be a dank rotten mess in about 6 months. TheDon01 fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Aug 20, 2016 |

You build it like an apartment, rather than being a literal sperg and assuming that an entire second floor loft on a 36 x 24 building is somehow going to be just two bedrooms?

So what you really meant is that you want a second floor apartment above your garage/workshop, then?

This style is very common for small businesses like hair salons and dentists (zoning is way more flexible than in the US.)

Haha, I was going to say that there are those things all over the place here, and lo and behold the wiki picture is from Boston.  I was out recently and ran this interesting choice - basically a house where they expanded the second floor over the portico, even though this means their house now overhangs the sidewalk. There are three in a row like this, so it seems like it was part of the original design? Very weird. Also, that street is just packed with houses with walls right up on the sidewalk, if a wide load ever turns down there on accident it's going to wipe out the neighborhood.

Holy poo poo, this is what my sister wanted to do to our house in the suburbs. I thought... I thought she was the only one who would do this to a house.  She wanted to build a 2nd story....room on the front of the house, on top of the porch. Specifically for a hot tub. Just off the top of my head, I rattled off reasons why we couldn't do it; ranch style houses aren't structurally built for that (I kind of pulled this one out of my rear end) but I know for sure the porch isn't rated for it, the plumbing would have to be rerouted or added to accommodate the hot tub, the electrical system would have to be rerouted as well to accommodate this, and our ~5 year old roof would have to be torn apart, at least piecemeal, to make this work. Plus I also know that she would never had taken care of it. Also the whole indoor hot tub thing. Don't do drugs. They make you want to put a 2nd story hot tub room on your house.

From Facebook, someone I only know through internet posted about doing yard work but this house... I... I don't know what to say... Currently getting her address so I can take some screen caps on google maps and check out the interior from the listing as well as how much they paid. Any bets its got a Stablock panel?

A mcMansion near me has a garage with no driveway. Just a 1' drop from the sill to the lawn. I should send that blog some fodder, Northern VA is McMansion Mordor.
