Let's do the space-time warp again!

The house next door is some sort of boarding house rental and is just slowly crumbling. The gutter fell off in the fall and no one cares. I should post their work sometime.

Is that three bathrooms off of the same room, two of them hidden in closets? :stare:

No, that's three bathrooms off the same room, one of them with a normal entrance, one hidden in a closet, and one hidden behind a mirror, with a closet hiding inside.

I don't actually know, but I suspect it has to do with tax evasion in one way or another, because wtf? Did the home owners forget that they had one two bathrooms linked to that room already? :iiam:

Honestly the most reasonable explanation so far. They hid one behind the mirror, forgot about it, put another one in the closet, accidentally covered the door with clothes, forgot about it, built a third one with just a regular door.

You guys think that is a master bedroom for a couple but in reality it is a shared bedroom that can fit about 6 bunkbeds and at least a dozen people. Of course it needs three bathrooms.

Was that central room formerly a couple bedrooms with private baths that got the walls removed in between to make one big bedroom?

Realtalk though, I feel like if I'd designed my own house prior to reading McMansion Hell, I probably would have ended up doing something like this. Because who doesn't like having lots of natural light? Slap those windows in wherever they'll fit! :downs:

Aesthetic disasters aside, at least I have the excuse of living in a mild climate.

That was my first thought but the room doesn't seem big enough. Maybe there was a narrow hallway in front of the first bathroom and that got absorbed into the bedroom. If the bathroom behind the mirror has another entrance that we don't see, maybe the mirror hatch was added just for someone to access the jacuzzi tub.

I'm pretty sure there's staircase windows there, just not rotated.

Besides, you *really* want one enormous 45-degree angle picture window, floor-to-ceiling, to show off your stairthedral.

Right, exactly! In fact, to do this properly you should have a tower with a spiral staircase, with wraparound spiral glass windows.

If the central pillar of your spiral staircase was strong enough, it could be the sole load-bearing member and you could then have non-load-bearing circular windows or spiral windows or whatever.

If your walls/windows are hanging from the central pillar instead of holding up the walls/roof, then you still need to transfer the dependent load of the wall beneath the window through the window and back up to that central pillar.

It looks kinda like they picked the windows from a much more modern vision and stuck them on a pretty conventional house. I can imagine that they'd work set against maybe flat roofs and using a striking square-ish design.

That multi-bathroom bedroom is just asking for a SCP to be written about it. It practically writes itself. Hallucinatory area which makes every room appear to be a bathroom until your house looks like nothing but bathrooms.

I just push buttons.


So my ex-neighbor (just moved) is tearing down his outbuilding/garage/shitheap and building what is honestly a pretty nice looking barn-roofed... what the gently caress ever. Anyways, so they're tearing down the old thing, and I walk past in the rain one day and the roof is gone and only one wall is left and there's a breaker panel on it.

"Oh man, I hope they have a new one, that's gonna damage it."

Then I walk past the next day and they built a little roof over it, which is still loving outdoors but sure ok fine. Then 2 days later they needed that piece of unsound wood for something else (did I mention this entire thing is reclaimed/lovely wood) so it was exposed again. When a BIG rainstorm happened they threw a tarp over it. Next day they took the tarp off and went for a picnic and it got rained on while they were gone.

I noticed on that day that there were outlets hanging off this thing and loving tools and worklights plugged in. It was live the entire time. I'm sort of glad I don't live next door to him any more although I'm only like 2 houses down still so hopefully the fire department's quick here.

edit: before you get all charitable and think they were really good about turning the breaker in the house on and off, the work lights were on while it was actively raining
