Did they pour a non-level garage floor? Or did the floor shift that much over time?

The driveway not being a crumbled cracked mess leads me to think it was intentional. But why wouldn’t they level the floor of a garage?

15 to 20 percent of Pittsburgh driveways look like that

It's not just that, the entire roof line is seemingly parallel with the average sideways grade of the hosed driveway, what's going on here??

Everyday you come home your house is excited to see you.

Although what’s with the little stub of roof at the peak?

As a design element, it's taken from barns that would extend the roof beam to hold a crane to hoist hay bales into the loft. The roof would extend out over it to protect it from the weather.

Why they put it there is not a question I can answer.

When I saw that I put it in Vancouver context and basically saw the matrix instead but instead of redheads in the code I was seeing 6 discreet unfurnished rental properties each paying $2100/mo.

I have seen a licensed plumber do this to i-beams. Nothing will surprise me now.

And then inspector saw those cuts and every beam had to be reinforced at the plumber's expense.

From the copper pipe instead of a rod to the safety flipflops this is priceless. I want to post that burying the beds in the back yard provides an even better earth connection so I can watch her dig the hole.

I did the same thing in my bedroom as a kid, but I used eye bolts instead of pvc pipe.

Same. It was really cool to be able to turn the lights on and off from my bed. Then I put one of those touch switches on the lamp instead, and wrapped copper wire around part of the lamp, then taped the wire to the wall near my bed instead.

SUCK A MALE CAMEL'S DICK WITH MIRACLE WHIP!!
I did something like that when I was a teenager, but it was to open and close the door. Also using eyebolts.

Probably got the idea from ferris buellers day off.

Mine as a kid was eye bolts next to the bed and I extended the ceiling fan and light pull chains to run through them for remote light and fan control. I thought I was a goddamn genius at the time.

How did your dads not beat you to death for putting eyebolts and poo poo around your room presumably into the walls and everything???? I once put a thumbtack into the drywall and my dad still reminds me of my embarrassing mistake.

How crappy can that construction really be? It mostly held together after crossing the median of a highway. Let’s see your house do that.

I had a claim once, for when a crane dropped a modular home section 75-feet into the hold of a Russian freighter. Crewmen were grabbing carpet, cabinets and the toilet as fast as they could.

You mean, they were looting the remnants of the house?

Also, I'm honestly surprised that a modular home or piece thereof would ship with the toilet and cabinets installed.
