Also, the bugs? Like...the only times of year it might be comfortable to sleep outside like that, the mosquitos will be out in full force.

I'd replace the porch bed with one of those couples' hammock tbh. Or even two normal ones

I wonder if insurance (assuming you can get it) will consider all those 'hand sawn by my husband' boards when considering replacement cost, given the house is built on a river. Enjoy worrying every time it rains more than an inch in your FEMA AE 10/10 flood risk million dollar shack.

Finish work seems well done if not to my taste, so it's possible the stuff inside the walls isn't a nightmare. It would make for a great week long rental on airbnb, but that's probably my limit.

That's what I would assume the place is/will be. Townsend is near the Great Smoky Mountains, and near Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and Dollywood, not far from Knoxville. Lots of vacation rentals in that area.

I actually checked to see if it were in the Gatlinburg Vacation Area. I assumed that had something to do with the price (which is dropped from $950k, I see)

Logically, my brain says this is just like the end of a hallway with a weird choice to put a chair there.

But my heart wants it to be some kind of crazy barn-door-airlock you have to pass through to get to that toilet.

using those slidey barn doors for bathrooms is so funny to me. why yes, one of the things I definitely need in my house design is a big visible gap in the door between me and whoever's on the shitter

The chair is there because it takes up to an hour for the airlock to cycle once you’re inside.

I found this house in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas about 10 years ago. It’s got all of the standard massing of a typical McMansion as you will see...


But as we drive around to the side of the house something magical happens!




I like to imagine the owner seeing a listing for the lot priced at $1.50 or whatever and developing this cunning 12’ stilt strategy.

I kind of like stilt house, if (big if) those poles are on a proper foundation. If nothing else, it's a variation from the spider caverns crawl spaces that seem to often show up in US houses.

It looks like they're sunk into pretty substantial concrete pilings, which big steel tubes, sunk deep in the ground, supporting steel beams is about as solid as you can get.

Steel is deceptive, it doesn't look like that house is well-supported but I'm sure it's way, way better off than your average house with an old concrete stem wall foundation.

The females can but won’t unless you provoke them. The males don’t even have stingers but that doesn’t stop them from getting up in your face like little buzzy bodyguards

I'm really trying to figure out what they are trying to accomplish here. That machine has a backhoe boom joint on it, so they could absolutely keep digging that trench with the machine sitting next to it. Getting on/crossing that trench should be no problem at all for that machine with even a halfway competent and not-totally-blackout-drunk operator........
