What are the odds that hood actually works in any way useful? My guess is it just blows into the attic. Or maybe it does actually vent outside, but the outside isn’t sealed well, so it just lets water pour in when it rains.

Guess they never heard of running string lines. Or lasers. Or tape measures. An absolute gently caress-ton of wasted effort. You hate to see it.

This couldn't be a case where the exterior of a building was protected, could it? Probably not, since it looks very nouveau riche. I know there's a Microsoft building in Edinburgh which had a protected exterior so they just gutted the whole thing and built a smaller officr building inside it.

I like how the bottom of the front facade is hinged so you can still get to the roll up car door in the main building. From the look of the concrete underneath, that was the plan all along. So strange.

It has the feeling of a protected facade that got torn down by the developer who was then ordered to reconstruct it even though the building that replaced it was completed. I had a similar, but much smaller scale, thing happen in my neighborhood. A house flipper bought a house that had some historic preservation restrictions, tore out a many of the protected features and tried to defend themselves with a "you can't unring a bell!" defense. It didn't work and they had to spend a fortune re-renovating the house to put it back in its original state.

Didn't someone post a while back about a bar in the UK that a developer tore down and then had to reconstruct literally brick by brick, at enormous cost? I'm damned if I can remember the name but I'm sure it was something appropriately British like The Pig & Whistle, or Barnaby's Bottle & Squeak, or Cotswold & Mendenhall....draught........pub .....pignwhistle. You know, something like that.

SyNack Sassimov posted:"Whaddya gonna do, make me rebuild it?" The protections for listed buildings in Britain don't gently caress around. This isn't just pay a fine and all is forgiven, any changes that go against the rules have to be made good using the traditional skills and materials at your expense. Like that pub, when you have all the bricks still around (it was only half demolished before the stop work order came in) and you can source the same type it isn't that expensive. It can get real expensive when it has to be oak timber framed building. If you don't like this then don't buy a listed building, or don't ask for it to be listed in the first place.
