Fireplaces are crappy construction, at least here in central Texas. It's not like you don't have a regular heater for the two days a year it freezes, so why does every apartment and house have at least one? They just get in the way.

I was so focused on the balconies, I didn't even notice the door height.

It looks like there's one level partially underground and a second level with the mystery balconies, but the door doesn't align with either floor.

That’s common enough, you enter on a landing and can go up or down half a flight from there.

I live in a split entry. There should be nothing but windows above that door. It makes no sense. I suppose you could make a landing with a ladder so that you could climb up and crawl out the window. Then stand on a deck that has a railing that's too low and wouldn't pass code at all.

It's possible I suppose. I've been in a lot of houses that have full height doors on the second floor that open up onto the roof of the three season porch with no option for safety.

there don't appear to be windows in the balconies.

Literally never seen one of these in Australia. Maybe houses built on hills would qualify?

In fact, having thought about it for a while, the only one I've ever seen was possibly the Brady Bunch house.

I prefer the term decision house

You enter the house and you must choose: downstairs to computer? Or upstairs to fridge?

Flat roofs are sloped for drainage, but balconies often are not. Depends on if it's a flat roof with a railing or a balcony with no entry.

i actually did polyurethane roof repair for a summer job one year in college and you're definitely right, and that's also one of the reasons why flat roofs have widely fallen out of favor (at least where i live). all of the houses we'd have to repair were from like the 60's / 70's and they'd have these non-obvious areas of deformity where time and weather had worn the roof dangerously thin. they were all single story homes, but that was probably the most dangerous type of roof i've ever had to navigate, as it was kind of like walking on a frozen lake; you'd think some portion was safe to step on and then it'd be thin ice and you'd feel your foot start to crack down through it.

You'd be happy working on my roof then, when the builder dealt with being bad at fitting roofs by hiring someone competent to build another identical roof over the top.

Such graceful, delicate creatures.
There are a couple of houses I pass on the way to work that have similar inaccessible balconies. It looks like a lot of houses in the neighborhood were built to the same or similar plans with the balconies above the entrance, but at some point maybe the doors were removed, but the railings were left up instead of putting up an angled roof or something over the door.

That house though... unless it were a really short door, I can't imagine it ever having access. Maybe it was built to match nearby houses without really thinking?

Besides all the stuff that they hosed up, I'm really surprised someone would go to all that effort and then install such dinky lights. His reference picture has huge panel lights, but it looks like he's using those daisy-chain LED tubes?

They also seem to have forgotten that the entire purpose of a paint booth is to filter and exhaust the fume filled air and mitigate the fire/explosion risk from spraying solvent borne finishes. They wound up with a spray booth shaped object, not a spray booth. Maaaaybe they’re spraying waterborne stuff but they still need an exhaust system for overspray.

He also pays to get it professionally painted in the end and then loads it on the back of a trailer, completely unprotected, for like a 600 mile drive or some poo poo.
