Ten cabinets for your skeletons, fifteen for your sex toys. The dishes go under the floor.

That's basicaly how limousines are made.

You take a car, cut it in half, and weld some more car in between.
There was a horrible tragedy on the San Mateo Bridge in Silicon Valley in 2013. Stretch limo caught fire, none of the passengers could get out because bad construction. It turned out that limo conversion was completely unregulated. They passed regulations in 2015. In much of the country it remains unregulated; there's no Federal law.

The obvious solution is detouring some of the block coke before it hits the grinder, and you drat well know that's going to happen. Chip a few grams off an edge, hey presto the septum-free life.

Having just gone refrigerator shopping, I disagree. I had to shop hard to find one that would fit through our doors.
GE fridge sizes

GE fridge heights alone go from 60" to 84", with a lot of stops in between.

It looks like an 1850s general store and a McMansion had a hideous baby.
The first three times I looked at it, I thought, "Looks like a pretty standard store." Then I realized it was a house. I still think the facade looks great, but I worry about the lack of natural light on the second floor.

I’ve found this one before, it was a massive 1-2” wide plaster crack just taped over and painted (by my landlord). Also in my renting history a few times I have found surprisingly minty holes that had been repaired according to an ancient life hack: filling them in with toothpaste and painting over (probably by a previous tenant, hope they got that security deposit in full).

The previous owner's painter filled in the holes in the bathroom door with caulk, then forgot to paint over it.

Window screens.
Many, many years ago (1972) my father was leading a college study abroad in Sweden and Denmark. During a break in Norway, we were appalled to learn that hostels (my parents were stingy thrifty) had windows that opened, but not screens. We arrived in one hostel whose previous resident had tracked up gauze over the windows. We liberated the gauze and the thumbtacks and travelled onward. (The mosquitoes in Trondheim in summer 1972 were fiendish.)

They started to decline in numbers about 20 years ago. Most of them were destroyed in the 1990s and the ones that were held onto by the elderly or abandoned in place started to disappear around 2000-2005. By now, I think the majority of sources you'd think would still have one laying around have been depleted and even the type of home you're describing disposed of theirs a long time ago.
I suspect the current "grandma died and we have to sell the house now" giant TV is in the 600 pound 30" "flat screen" that's somehow three feet thick category.
I don't know when console TVs fell from fashion, but I'm fairly sure we're running low on grandmas who owned a console, kept it, and haven't died yet.

I predict the next big problem is Trinitrons. Those suckers were/are heavy.

In the UK if you build something without planning permission and get away with it for 4 years it becomes immune from any action. However the law is about to be change so that 4 years becomes 10 years, which is a bit unfortunate for all the people who try to sneak an extra house on to their plot, or a caravan in a woodland/farmland, or whatever.
Huh. In my area (in the US), anything that violated contemporary code but was before a certain date (1975, I think) is grandfathered as okay. Anything done after that, that the inspectors find out about, has to be fixed.

There's a confirmed story about an accident with military testing of smallpox 13 miles upwind of some coastal fishing village in Russia. Half the city got smallpox several died and they had to burn the city to the ground. That's the broad strokes anyways.

The only good news about smallpox is that it doesn't have the ability to mutate hardly at all which is the only reason we were able to eliminate it and we're still struggling with polio half a century later and covid has 9 named strains a year
