  https://imgur.com/gallery/KiRVH9h From this gallery. There are a few we've seen before, and a few that I don't quite get/aren't quite funny. But also what looks like some fresh gold.

I really want to hear from the people that own those houses. Do they all drive jeeps?

Oh yes the Mildew Extravagance bath, a very good choice for everyone missing the feel and smell of wet rainforest under their feet.

 I'm guessing this place belongs to a blind guy, he can't see out the front door, but his dog likes to look. To be fair though, a lot of pics in that gallery could belong to a blind guy.

Ruflux posted:I don't get it. Why did they waste space with that drawer instead of having a full length, if narrow cabinet? My parents house has one of those (although way less narrow than that) and it's pretty useful for storing oven trays and mittens and such. I assumed the taller thing beneath was a pull-out baking table (or whatever they're called in English) because I've seen those before. (Pull-out as in you just pull it all the way out and lay it on your kitchen counter or table for making dough.)

Every kid in the neighborhood would be ripping up and down that driveway all day on bikes, scooters, skateboards. Install a basketball hoop above the garage and practice your shots on a 30 foot rim with a built in ball return.

I think we saw the follow-up on that at some point, they ended up doing some sort of re-grade or alteration on the drives to make them work. It was still pretty lovely, just not 'crash your car' quality.

you're not parking in your driveway either. and if it's a development street parking longer than 8 hours is probably banned by the HOA.

Why would you not just make the garage at street level with the house above on a property like that?

Because that's a lot of cut that needs to be hauled away, two retention walls that would need to be built, plus more landscaping and steps. And this is obviously a lovely cheap subdivison house built at the lowest possible cost by the lowest bidders.

My in-laws sold their perfectly nice house for a new build of the same size, in the same kind of neighborhood, for another $100k. The lot they chose and had the house built on didn't work out, because the city inspector failed the foundation during construction. Instead of walking, they chose a different lot! In a shocking twist, their new house has had a number of issues, ranging from a completely un-waterproofed tiled shower to the wrong sized interior doors.

Or there’s something structural underground preventing a deeper cut without a big expense, due to blasting or whatever. My parents bought a lot with the intent of building closer to the street, but a site survey showed it was solid granite not far beneath the surface. We ended up with a horror driveway that caused more than one friend to park on the street and climb up the 3 flights of stairs to the front door.

The solution shown on the streetview is by far the quickest and easiest, just relocate the footpath closer to the road formation, easing the grade. If you were really determined to change the house, bringing the garage floor level down by 0.5m or less would go a long way toward getting a usable grade but forcing package builders to change their designs radically usually introduces other problems. Cutting a bit further down at the earthworks stage would also be a fairly cheap solution but this of course requires people to actually plan, so is right out.

One of my favorite architecture things, since I was a kid, is the garages buried in the earth, at street level, while the house sits on at least a story of dirt above, commonly seen in Seattle's older, steeper, neighborhoods Greenwood, Phinny Ridge, Queen Anne etc. They're all collapsing in on themselves now, and I refuse to draw a correlation between this and why you never see them in modern buildings.

Had my bathroom extractor fan replaced while replacing everything else in there and turns out that even if its built in moisture sensors actually worked, someone had filled the entire flue with expanding foam. Best guess is maybe birds nested in it and instead of getting a ladder and putting a cover on the outside they just jammed a nozzle through and filled it.

BEHOLD, the beam that formerly held up the side of my house, the home inspector did not catch this. You can see the original construction of concrete footer->beam->joists->floor  Don't rest untreated beams on concrete and assume they'll last 109 years, I guess.
