Either the fridge or the extra fan make this true comedy gold, but I haven't decided yet.

I'm guessing that the area beyond that door used to be part of a different unit and this was how they decided to combine them?

Crappy construction tale I dealt with yesterday. The shitter got clogged(by my wife) and while I was plunging it out noticed water coming out from under the toilet itself. I figured maybe the wax ring broke down somehow so after running to home depot and removing the toilet I find the remains of this completely unnecessary mounting flange held into the sub floor by what looked to be drywall screws all gunked up with plumbers putty like icing on a poo poo cake. I removed it and scraped all the hardened putty off and used the new bolts that came with the new synthetic wax ring I got directly to the still pefectly functional cast iron flange. It took me longer to empty the water out of the toilet and clean up the mess afterwards than it did to fix the problem properly in the first place.

You'd be surprised how common that is in terraced housing in the UK, when the width of the property is too thin to accommodate a full landing step it's usually two corner steps.

Ooh that reminds me of a great one. My old boss had a cottage up in the countryside he had renovated, it was a tiny 2 bed, the 2nd bedroom accessed through the first with a shower room downstairs you had to access through the kitchen so he got creative. The new staircase went up the middle of the property, with one bedroom either side, behind/above the staircase he put a new bathroom. It was accessed by one door from either bedroom, as he planned on renting it out he needed a way of locking and unlocking both doors from either end, so when you went in and locked your door no one joined you from the other door, and when you unlocked your door you didn't leave the other door locked. He accomplished this with a series of iron rods across the ceiling, bell cranks and brass levers. You could only lock the door from inside and either lever locked both doors. Great until his wife got stuck in there one day and couldn't get out for 4 hours. Last I heard he'd just fitted 2 normal door locks.

This looks like a problem begging for alternating tread stairs (in your house).

That's a fairly common set-up in post-war Phila. rowhomes. Although usually there's a wall, and a doorway at the landing on the near side.

Thumposaurus posted:Crappy construction tale I dealt with yesterday. Reminds me of the crap toilet my parents had in their condo basement for a while. Apparently the floor sloped slightly, so instead of fixing it by re-pouring the floor, the builders raised the toilet to level by layering caulk down until the whole pedestal was aligned by spirit level. Toilet worked great, but in order to remove it for future maintenance, one would have to hammer it out of 3/4 - 1 1/2" of caulk. I think they eventually got it fixed, but only because they're retired and refuse to do anything traditionally fun, so they funnel all their retirement money into condo renos instead of vacations

I moved out of my previous rental share house because whichever dying boomer had lived in it before had "fixed" a failed wax ring by just piling mortar around it instead of replacing it. This meant that every time the toilet was backed up even slightly, the level in the bend was lifted above the top of the mortar and dirty water flowed onto the floor. The owners declined to get it fixed because the quoted repair cost of just over one week's rent for the house (~$350 USD) was apparently too much.

I thought the smoke alarm at the top of my stairs was bad. They took "top of the stairs" literally and centered it over the edge of the top step. One foot back would have been just fine guys.
