It's a spite rail, designed to lure in and destroy skaters looking to grind.

How the gently caress are they going to grind on that tiny step?

:pwn: *Rail* grind, n00b. My credit union added semi-circular anti-skate "blocks" to all the handrails at their main building to discourage that.

Of course, city added shiny aluminum angle versions to the new sidewalk planters when they built those, and being downtown I'm utterly loving shocked they weren't unbolted and sold for scrap within the first week.

:doh:

I was thinking of grinding on a step like grinding concrete retaining walls at parks. The rail never even occurred to me, because how drat tiny it is.

That said, now I NEED video of people trying on that small thing.

Ok let's argue over this: https://imgur.com/gallery/6xqdr

Dudebro and his wife design and build a house on their own: admirable.

Interior design choices: questionable

Floating cabinet.... thingee.... in the formal dining room: abominable.



And then they do stuff like butt the moulding around the library up to the window casement??? And end the floor in the middle of a window???




And butt the super fancy door frame thing right up against the wall??? And in looking at this again it looks like you open the front door, which is centered on the stairs, and BAM wall on the right side of the stairs????



And the front door sticks out... because reasons?




And of course, ZERO CURTAINS OR WINDOW TREATMENTS ANYWHERE. Looks like they're off in the woods, but still, gawddamn.

I agree with Javid; some of the stuff is a bit inelegant but I wouldn't have noticed most of it if you hadn't pointed it out.

It definitely looks like dogshit to me, but it looks reasonably well constructed. Their design choices are hideous to me and if I could I'd tear all that stuff the gently caress out and burn it in my fireplace I would, but if it makes them happy then :shrug:

The front door sticks out so that you're not forced to walk up two or three steps when entering/exiting?

Yeah, that's a pretty standard entranceway? I mean, they could have designed it so the door sat flush and the stairs were farther back, but it's there to clear the bottom step and give room for people to get inside and shut the doors.

The floating cabinet thing is atrocious but otherwise I agree. Give it a year or two of lived in ness to get wall decorations and art up and curtains on windows and it will look just as good as 90% of houses out there.

It took us a year to find the courage to start putting holes in our new walls to hang art.
Also, most of our existing art is bad. It looks fine in the guest bathroom but I'm not ready to put it in the hallway.

I'd prefer those upper windows not to have that horizontal split in them, basically making them the same size as the doors below, but I don't know what that would have done to the cost.

To the guy who wanted to live in a garage: this place is for you.
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2560-Michigan-Ave-Detroit-MI-48216/2096142013_zpid/?fullpage=true



That door next to the kitchen leads to the "real" garage, so I don't know why they have a car parked in their living room.



Not sure about the stairs leading directly to the master bathroom.

It does come with three apartments to recoup some of that $1.8 million. It's been for sale for over a year though so I guess nobody wants to spend that kind of money on a parking garage in Detroit.

Well I mean you can buy over one hundred somewhat livable houses for that, or at least 15-20, move-in ready, very nice houses, given Detroit's current housing market.

Not sure the giant bathroom window is a great idea when your bathroom overlooks a busy street and parking lot. Gonna get arrested for indecent exposure for taking a shower.

This isn't for hermits, the dining table seats 8 or 10, with another 7 at the breakfast bar, so this is a house for socializing. Not sure how the bathroom works when you've got a bunch of people over. Do you just stand by the stairs and holler to see if anyone is up there?

They look very reflective from the outside. Maybe they're coated?

There's a half bath downstairs.

My questions:
- Does anyone actually enjoy watching anything on that pathetic projector?
- What's in the GIANT basement?

This house is stupid.

I would also be very happy living in a large garage with living quarters attached. However, since I actually want to use my garage as a garage the living quarters will be totally sealed from the garage area.

Getting dust and dirt from the garage throughout the rest of your living space would not be nice. Even just exhaust fumes if you only park in it. I'd also like to be able to have a warm living area

Based on the floorplan I think the porche parked in the living room is just masturbatory; there seems to be a proper garage attached which is properly sealed off.
