Here I'm just thinking that'd be an amazing place to have my boardgame collection and nerd space.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 8 points 1 week ago

For real. This would be incredible and it's significantly cheaper than the value of my little 1/8 acre starter home.

I've been sitting here trying to decide whether or not "shouse" was a typo.

What the hell did I just watch...

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

"shouse located in the quaint town of Denmark, KS"

This is one of the most absurd sentences I'll read this week despite republican efforts.

I knew of a house like this in another state and I'm guessing this one was done for the same reason. Hiding from the tax man. Buy some land, build a barn, get it on the tax rolls as an uninhabited structure and finally build your fully functional home inside.

I'm guessing this will be a headache of a sale. The taxes on Zillow didn't make much sense.

With no egress windows (or windows at all) I’m surprised they are allowed to classify this as livable space..

Around me they have to be suuuuuper careful to not refer to any room lacking egress windows as “bedroom”, because it’s not up to code and thus isn’t living space. I assumed that was everywhere in the US.

[–] Bubs12@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

The rooms do have windows… that lead to the shed. So checkmate, you northern yank.

The garages have taken over.

1990s: If you don't do good in school you're gonna live in a van down by the river!

2020's: I'd you take on six figures of undischargable student loan debt and work 3 jobs, you and two other couples could pitch in and buy a million dollar shed to put your van in.

"Does it have an attached garage?" "Brother does it ever"

ngl I kinda like the idea of having a house inside my shed lmao. I feel like that one "Race it, Break it, Fix it, Repeat" sign really says who the target market is.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 8 points 1 week ago

Were you born in a barn!?

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Christ that's a lot of decapitated things.

I'm assuming the inner building has its own air supply or there's just so much volume in the outer part so all the ICEs don't make everybody sleepy.

It's weird but frankly I'd live here as long as it had high speed internet.

No people and I could probably shoot off my back porch... Living the dream.

TBH to me this is very appealing. I want a lot of space that is isolated from others and protected from the elements. This picture shows all those things.

[–] don@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Huh. That, uh, headboard has some interesting adornments, there, pardner.

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Had to go back and look. I'm sure those are just assistive.

The horizontal could have easily been covered and I can't imagine it is comfortable to have there, even when not in use.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What if your "guest" wants to leave early because they don't take well to the wall of crucifixes, the room of animal heads, the whole house in a barn feel or the fact that the neighbours are too far away to hear the screaming? Can't have them running off into the night missing skin now can we?

[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can't have them running off into the night missing skin now can we?

God no, that’d be terrible

How much would it cost to heat/cool this big, open warehouse!? Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul spoiler:

spoilerIt looks like where Mike housed the lab construction crew.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You just bother with climate control on the building in a building.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hmm, I guess. There's something severely depressing about leaving your home and you still can't see any stars because you're not outside!

Not counting the cost of the HVAC equipment, probably 3-400 per month. Electricity and natural gas are cheap in this area.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Would be amazing for growing lots of weed, caretakers lives inside the shack.

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it's cool. This would be an outdoorsman's dream

America's obsession with garages has gone too far.

(Also I'm pretty sure that's very illegal.)

[–] faltryka@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

From Kansas… we call this a barndominium and they are actually pretty neat. I guarantee they’re getting plenty of sun lol.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 64 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

(looking at pictures) Huh? I don't understand. They're storing their stuff in there, what's so bad ab- ah, there's the, uh, living quarters, I see. Well okay then, it's not my style but I su- oh lawdy lawd a bunch of ~~crucifixes~~ crosses.

Edit: those are "just" crosses.

[–] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Those look to be just crosses (popular with Protestants), crucifixes generally refer to a cross with ol’ J-dawg on it (popular with Catholics)

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 14 points 1 week ago

Huh. TIL.

(Thinking about it, the remnants of my Latin knowledge from school say that makes sense.)

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

That wall... Jesus Christ!

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Minus the interior decoration this is like ideal for me.

My dream house is basically a garage with a house attached. But I guess a house inside a garage works too.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago

It's not terrible. It's definitely not for me, but I don't hate the living space.

So they bought this place, but it's lack of natural sunlight kept attracting vampires, so they had to put up crucifixes everywhere to keep them away?
