Two-storey shitters were seriously a thing. The upper level had its bench set further into the room. A false wall on the lower level enabled the poop from above to sail on by to the cesspit.

Weren't they also useful in places that got a lot of snow in the winter, or am I misremembering something that I may or may not have learned as a kid?

That story is told at several tourist sites. In some cases, it is enhanced by the absence of stairs to the second level. The reality isn’t that people would climb snow drifts to get in; it’s that the toilet was once attached to a two-storey inhabited structure that has since been demolished.

Probably because the hole was the previous owner’s secret until it went up for sale. Nobody in a position to condemn is aware. I’m just blown away that they went through and are under contract, though. People get too emotionally attached to the idea of a home they like.

They're in love with the house (first mistake, but who among us), it's not completely irrational to get an idea what a possible fix would entail. Either they can afford it and proceed, or they can walk away knowing it was unsalvageable.

I would hope that the contract has an inspection clause, and this should be enough to get them out of the contract if it does. Although, a lot of people are doing crazy things to buy a house these days, including forgoing inspection. The buyer for my mom's house a few months back bought it sight unseen with no inspection. Of course, my mom did basically a full gut and reno less than 5 years ago and provided tons of documentation to go along with that... EDIT: I tracked the post down, and yeah, they can still back out of the contract. https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeImprovement/comments/ofj69o/home_inspection_shocker_20_across_pit_potentially/h4dzipu/?context=3 n0tqu1tesane fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Jul 7, 2021 |

What the gently caress, you absolutely can back out of that deal and probably get your earnest money back. "Yeah this house you tried to sell me has a bottomless pit under it, give me my $3000 back and go gently caress yourself."

I'd go for that as a floor, not where it would be attacking my eyes every time I swung past it like some architectural gorgon. Maybe a small work surface. Like, a workbench, not the entire kitchen. e: Also, I enjoy the collection of walking sticks tucked in the corner there.

I kind of like it, depending on how the rest of the room is done and assuming it's sealed. (Pretend.) For removal you would pry one off and use that to get your wrecking hammer behind it and pull the rest of the wall down. Trying to salvage 4 sheets of drywall is a dumb idea.
