How do you open the oven door?

...how did they get the oven back there in the first place?

Surely when they were doing some awkward lift with one guy squatting on the counter and another wedged in the 20 degree corner they would have thought "you know maybe this isn't such a great place to put it".

At least the guy didnt try to use the nonfunctional toilets to take a poo poo.

There's a reason some new construction builder-pack toilets come with a latex seal that's basically a DO NOT SHITPISS warning.

Nothing beats hooking supply lines in the Los Angeles summer while having a 4 layer fecal lasagna in the bowl next to you. Bonus maggot Olympics taking place in the bowl.

In film school my group built a bathroom set. After the teardown, we left the toilet bowl on a dolly in the middle of the student break room. Of course, someone had pissed in it by the next morning.

Yeah, I don't understand how people aren't getting this. 6 men lost their lives trying to contain that stove, and this thread's reaction is to try to figure out how to open it!!

You can bake anything pretty much on a stove top using some form of crock pot or similar. Google "stove top baking" for details.

My combination microwave/oven cooks unevenly and usually has stuff on top so I do my baking in the toaster oven.

Do you think I have one of those amazing carpeted luxurio kitchens with 20 square acres of potentially toxic granite counters and badly tiled backsplash we see around here?

There have been concerns raised regarding radiation and/or radon outgassing.

Also how the gently caress else you going to get those waxy, chewy potates that have been swimming in roasted chicken squeezings for an hour or so.

Several of those assume that you are going to be very close friends if you have any visitors over. On that first one, I can imagine a girlfriend/boyfriend's first night staying over and breaking a leg not realizing that the shower is actually a tub, inset in the floor. Also, that person has a lot of shoes.

Might not be exhbitionists. Might be people who are just deathly afraid a monster is hiding in the other room. Though to be safe they should also take all the doors off the closets. And get a pedestal bed, leaving a space under the bed for things to hide is just asking for trouble.

Someone is actually living in Exhibit C now, the place doesn't look half bad when furnished. Except for the kitchen shower.

Exhibit G is currently for sale for $2.4 million with a tenant paying that $8,000/month through 2019.
