I feel like the violence and complex social structures in prison have more to do with the experience than living in a room with bars around it, but I've never been incarcerated.

Rent a group of 20 rooms at $200 per head to recreate the Stanford prison experiment. The twist is that 5 of the guests are picked at random to be the guards and are given twice their money back. Boom, 2k profit per night and a month long waiting list of signups

They do this poo poo in Denver (like 90% are in Denver, idk if there's some favorable zoning or what) to cute 1920s bungalows all the loving time and I hate it. They often come with "pop-tops" to add a full second story and an addition to the back of the house that swallows up most of the backyard, and then they destroy the facade and the interior of the house and sell it for like 4x the price they bought it.

First thing on my mind is that you place your balls on the soapdish, turn on the water and then reach out and electrify urself in style.

It's hard to tell how high those ceilings are, but my guess is it's a lift/autostacker thing so you can get 2 cars into one space.

Looks like some kind of lift so the 116 space in the front there can get out. But yeah no clue if those ceilings will support it or not.

There should be a car version of these archival shelves. Instead of requiring an aisle adjacent to every space, we can double park if there’s a way to shift cars to the side and put the gap where it’s needed.

I know of no easier way, but I crammed a VW into my garage with a ‘66 Pontiac by using my trolley jacks. They do make wheel dollys, but you have to jack the car up to get one under each wheel...but then you can roll the car anywhere

Easier today with a compound miter saw. Back in the day, these were cut by hand. On wider curves, they would steam the baseboard & bend it.
Nowadays, if new is being fitted to the original wall, you’d have to take time & do trial cuts because the angle Of the curve might vary.

It’ll never look right if going for stained finish, you’d be better off carving a corner element to fill it.



If they’d taken the time to put a finished edge on it, it would be fine.

I can only think there has to be a hole beneath it if it's a lift, and I can't think of what else it might be. But the listing only has it as a single car space.

You'd want to be bloody sure you don't leave a car on top of it, because that a cement ceiling right above it.



EDIT: Ohhh, a horizontal lift, not vertical :doh:
