It is only a 2D image, seen from another perspective it looks like they'd fit pretty well with the traditional scandinavian house, a long rectangle or square.

I don't think it was ever actually a Pizza Hut. It's in the middle of a neighborhood, and the proportions seem off for the iconic red roof.

I pass by one of these in a neighborhood on my way to work. Same exact roofline as a Pizza Hut. Very similar landscaping. Evidently this was a 'thing' in the very early 70s.

Today in what the hell, previous owner: we take a look at these weird slabs of tiling that were used to line the bathroom walls.



Ah. Looks like they were... just glued into place? And the part that flaked the wall off makes it look like... it's not concreteboard backing?

The tub must be better, right?

I'm not sure what'd be better:

Demolish the plaster, get new plaster and start again?
Scraper, respirator and several gallons of IPA for a deep clean?
Sod it, just tile over it and save it for the next sucker who goes underneath there?

Interested to know how you dealt with this.

Cut it out and new drywall. You will never get all that adhesive off without destroying the integrity of what's there.

OH poo poo GUYS ITS SPREADINNNNNGGGG-



My wife wants this poo poo gone before we put in new flooring and i'm terrified of what the tub framing will look like. I can't stress how hilariously terrible the whole thing is, from the way it's all jenga'd on each other to the fact the thickness was off at a wall corner so the fix was to layer plaster in over the gap.

Also the floor seems like it was put straight on the subflooring and it's creaky enough to fracture the cheap grout with every step.

All the footprint of a big kitchen island with almost none of the storage space!

Also, and this is clearly a case of "more money than sense" anyway, but the probably $500 in brand new off-road tires for that.... diorama. And I hope that was a totaled frame they chopped up for that.

I would assume so, as the body panels are just bent diamond plate and copper.

I also think that owns, but I'm aware I have terrible taste.

Looks like someone's downstairs bar or similar, and not a full kitchen. There's a fridge, a sink, and some booze, and that's it.

Thanks for the ballpark pricing, that's great to know. If I want a house designed that would cost about $350k to build I should factor in about $35k+ on top for a great architect who will baby the project along from start to finish, as well as draw it all up? (I mean, obviously I'm going to ask my local guys what they charge but it's good to get some idea beforehand.)

Yes, an Architect's fee is above the construction cost, and part of the total project budget. You'd just have to very clear up front with the expectations and contractually agree to as well. Some Architect's that's not their thing to hand hold and provide that level of service because it's not their business model. It may be difficult to compare too as they may call it different things. Like picking out your cabinets, millwork and finishes might be an additional service for some but others would include that. Some even would order fixtures and finishes for you using their designer discount and get you some nice stuff without the contractor's mark-up. Some might include engineering as well, and others not.

I find articles like "How much will an Architect cost?"... written by non-Architects who got a builder/developer home once are complete and utter B.S. because it's not the same quality. Same as a contractors...
