I just want to know how you do this?

1) Somebody had to get up on a ladder, measure, and cut the hole for the door.
2) MORE THAN ONE PERSON had to get up there and put the door in upside down.

What in the gently caress Russia?

Are they even doors though? The brown things on the right are doors, right? So those are either weird windows places in a bizarre fashion or tiny doors placed in a bizarre fashion. This picture is baffling.

Due to an extreme shortage of pillows for athletes who unexpectedly arrived to Olympic Village in the mountains, there will be a transfer of pillows from all apartments to the storehouse on 2 February 2014. Please be understanding. We have to help the athletes out of this bind."

They might be windows. But that just raises more questions. :psyduck:

I think that's a second or third floor hallway, and the windows were drawn onto the plans of the outside of the building without considering how they would line up with the interior floors.
