It's bad from the outside, but the inside is so much worse. And it gets worse the more you look at it. So many details that are just so awful. Living in this "house" is probably miserable.

This is someone's first CS:GO map.

You carpeted the bannister?

You carpeted the walls?!

Why are there so many tables???

This looks like something I built in the original Sims game when I was... idk, 9?

This looks like an AI was asked to design a house. All the basic elements are there, but nothing makes any sense.

Pic 56 got me dying laughing. Ok actually all the other ones too

"We walled in this truck with the suspicious dark stains, but there's a door in back of this closet so it's technically a garage."

Was this built on The Sims? Hahahhhaha

Any one else notice the shower controls OUTSIDE the shower?!

That's also quite a labyrinth of a front door patio

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

The front steps remind me of the switchback stairs in the Winchester mansion

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

The feont door looks like there is a damn amusement park waiting line arrangement.

The idea of shower controls on the outside is solid if you have a thermostatic shower valve, that way you can turn your shower on & have it be at the right temp for you before you get in.

However in this instance it just adds to the bizzaro feel to the while thing

4,000 square feet for $169K? For that price you could renovate the inside, and for a rectangular box it has some interesting angles going on.

So much fucking cladding. I recon the builder gets it cheap

The liminal backroom/vaporwave aesthetic hallway in the master bedroom is what really got me. Finally numbed to the siding, office chairs, and carpet and then the hall of mirrors comes in to seal the deal.

Does Arkansas just not have building codes? Surely they can't actually sell it like this. There is no way you can bring this monstrosity up to code for less than the cost of burning it down and building something else.

Doesn't even say bedroom. It's just: entry way to master.

Like in Manos.

Arkansas is I think the only state that doesn't enforce habitability for rental properties. By that I mean a landlord could rent you an apartment that is unlivable, like if it had black mold, or say literally didn't even have a roof, and as a renter, there's nothing you could do about it except walk away including any money you'd already paid in rent.

Building codes also vary by state/county/local. Some of these tiny towns probably have much lower standards with building codes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I mean it was mostly rhetorical, code is adopted at the state level and localities can only make it more strict. Arkansas is seemingly pretty up to date on their adopted codes so I have to imagine they were in 2004 as well. I'm mostly familiar with electrical and I know that shit wouldn't have passed inspection in 2004. So either codes are completely unenforced in this location or they did a bunch of modifications without a permit that should make it illegal to sell the dwelling until they get inspected.

Bonus: they're gonna have to rip that interior siding and wall carpeting off to inspect the wiring anyway.

Babe, I got this siding for a steal. It'd be stupid to not use it inside.
