This thread makes me really want to post pics of the house in my town that’s built out of nothing but sheet metal and Trump signs.

I don’t have any pics of it now because I’m scared the owner might try to shoot me, but I bet I could get some.

It's almost like somebody started with just a treehouse they were proud of and then thought "if I just added some plumbing and wiring and built up the foundation I could actually live here" and then just went with it, adding a new room every summer. Maybe they called contractors in the area saying "hey next time you replace some windows/cabinets, just leave the old ones by my place, I'll put them to use".

The worrisome part of this picture is the bulge in both the roof and door frame that basically guarantee someone will eventually be entombed in the trapezoidal sink room sooner or later. Just as Moloch demands.

My brain has been stuck trying to decipher this one image for at least a day because the brick wall continues beyond the nightmare nook and I must know what the rest of the brick room looks like.

I would also love to know why they’d arbitrarily panel a random vanity but really, that just goes on the larger list of why anything in this house.

Hey man, I'm your neighbor, and uh, I kinda think your house is... sorta, I wanna say encroaching, on my property? Like, by at least three feet over the past weekend.

In fact uh, I wasn't gonna say nothing, but uh, I'm pretty sure we weren't neigbors yet last year. Like, there used to be a house between us.

So besides all the obvious visual comedy this provides, if you look at the zillow page, it shows the sales/tax history of the property. It's got a pretty dumb/whacky history

First purchase recorded was 1999, sold for $215k, which seems maybe a little low for the time/place, but given how stupid the house it, maybe. Then the guy went to sell it in 2011 for $549k, which for a normal house there would probably have sold pretty quickly.

Well, 7 years, 24 price changes, and 11 real estate agents later, it was sold for $305k. That was 1/2018.

Now a short 17 months later, he's trying to sell it for $529k, or about 60% appreciation in price. Surely he's spent those 17 months dramatically improving the property, right?

Grover could post :smugdog: to this and not be entirely wrong for once

This reminds me of a house I looked at about a decade ago when I was home hunting. The house in question was all one-ish level but it was obvious that the previous owner had done just a fuckton of additions, probably mostly themselves, without actually planning anything out. From the front, it looked like a regular old three bed one bath rancher. But when you went inside, there was just layer upon layer of rooms stretching back to the rear of the property. You'd open a closet thinking you'd see a place to put clothes. Nope, a bedroom. Skinny door that must lead to the utility room? Nope. Utilities are walled off and the remaining space makes a 2.5 ft wide hallway to an 8x8 room. What's this weird 4ft high arch lead to? A Room. Oh hey a second bathroom was added.... with no way to get to the rooms beyond it other than walking through the bathroom. And so on, and so on. There were more than a dozen extra rooms added onto the back of that house, all different sizes, some odd shapes, and none that were even close to being square.

And every room was painted a different obnoxious color, bright green, neon pink, day glow orange, magenta, etc. Not one set of adjoining rooms were level with each other, so every threshold was accompanied by a step or two up or down, and the steps were never the same height room to room, or even in a single room. This room has two big steps, that one a small step and a tall one.

I'm fairly certain that house was either occupied by a cult, or some dude who just added a room all willy-nilly, where ever he could fit one, every he knocked up his old lady. (It seemed that most of the rooms were intended for kids judging by the stuff left behind.)

I wish I had taken pictures. It was unreal. Nowhere near The House That GBS Built level unreal, but definitely in the same neighborhood.

I think this is the house described in Edgar Allen Poe's "Masque of the Red Death."
