I hate that couple so much because they dig themselves into a literal pit of bad decisions and stupidity, and then they waltz right out of it because his godfather shows up and doesn't have an issue with lending these idiots $300k.

I think it's artistic and clearly not meant to be functional steps

The porch/patio is railed off and functional, and seems to be segregated from the stairway/front stoop.

If you feed the horse enough grain, he'll poop out some undigested that the sparrow can eat

Also in Denver and I've been thinking lately. I get why the bungalows aren't popular. Small bedrooms with small closets, closed floor plans, smaller square footage, older homes that are expensive to heat and don't cool usually. Or maybe they're popular enough but there's more to be made on the cube houses.

But why aren't there any updated styles of bungalow being built? Same character of the neighborhood with modern styled floor plans, good insulation and windows? Bump the square footage obviously but keep the local look?

This might be controversial but... If you don't test it you don't know that it's asbestos and won't need to disclose it on a sale. If you're going to encapsulate it anyway there's nothing to gain by knowing what it is.

I've actually used one of these multi-head things at a spa once, and it was pretty fun for a one-time thing. But it only had three knobs, rainfall, hand-held, and car-wash extravaganza. I don't know what you would even use seven different ones for. What labyrinthine PVC nightmare lies within those walls?

there are no parallel lines in this house





The only justification for the $529,000 price is that someone is going to tear it down and build a $2 million non-deathtrap house in its place, but I'd be worried about upsetting the Lovecraftian entity that probably lives here.

I used to live in a terrible "little" house in Bemidji. We had servants stairs that were so narrow that you couldn't walk up them straight. You had to crab your way up. It was technically a 5 bedroom house though only 3 were legit. Strangest place I've ever lived. Not sure how a person living off of Irvine Ave ever could afford a servant, but they did.
The funny thing was, there was never a door installed on the stair side of the servants quarters. No provision for it either. There was a door on the upstairs side, but none on the stair side. We put a curtain there for one of our housemates. She didn't mind. It gave her quick access to the only bathroom in the house downstairs.

I'm sure I've told the story before but I'll tell it anyway:
At the bottom of those stairs was a trapdoor that went down to an old cistern which had been drained and they'd put the water-heater down there. It was all brick. About chest high, there was a bunch of brick that was bashed out that led to a curving tunnel. You could not see where it came out as it was curved to about 90 degrees I knew at the end of the tunnel was the furnace. I refused to go through it because I get claustrophobic.

One day, we thought we smelled gas so we called the gas company. I showed him where the furnace was and he hucked himself up and squirmed into the tunnel. I climbed back up out of the cistern and sat down in the living room.

About 20 minutes later he came back up and said everything was fine.

I asked him "What's back there? I've always wanted to know."

He said, "You don't want to know."

I said, "Seriously, what's back there?"

He said, "You don't want to know and I'm never coming back."

True story. I imagine many a kobold was slain that day.

Gamer toilet. For when you don't want bio breaks to get in the way of that WoW raid, I guess?

The his-and-hers toilet before that is more wtf, though, because it's set up so you can just look over and chat with the other person.
