    Edit: those are “just” crosses.

      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?

      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.

        There are private small airports with garages and hangers at each house. At least in the US, they are called community airports or air parks. Often grass runways and often self built houses. There’s always some folks that don’t fly but just want the hanger as a shop. Good communities at these places too. Pretty badass when your neighbor has gnarly tool you’d like to use and has built their own airplane

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

    …only three hundred grand for a house which violates the f*ck out of international building code, fire code, and life safety code; nice!..

    …what are the odds of even more egregious DIY violations of electricial, mechanical, and plumbing code which we can’t see in casual realtor photos?..

    “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.

    Finally, someone with a good grasp of the proper ratios when comes to house space vs garage/workshop space. Chuck in a few exterior windows and I would be fine with something like this.

    I would be checking how much weight above the living space can handle though - I suspect it might not be up to suitable floor loadings for workshop usage.

      Yeah, this is amazing. I’d buy it.

      Some won’t understand—especially if they live in a matchbox apt in a concrete jungle and have the mechanical aptitude of a liberal arts student with hobbies to match.

        you do realize that people don’t live in tiny apartments because that’s the dream of their life, right?

        they live like that because they have to live in the city to find work, and the cities have absurd housing shortages which makes the tiny apartments the least expensive option. They live like that because the alternative is fucking dying of exposure on the streets.

    Great economic housing and storage idea. Got the land for cheap I’m sure. Giant steel building probably one of the cheapest options you could go for. Sweat equity just interior walls.

    Way to go whoever you are!

      You have no idea how hard it is wire, plumb, heat, cool, and add rooms. My one Daughter of mine as a FIL who has been a successful contractor. And they did something similar to that, building a house out of a pole barn and while mostly happy with the results so far, it was not as ideal as first thought in the end. The heating bill is insane with those crazy high ceiling.

    this stunning shouse

    Is that a typo or are they pointing out that it’s a house inside a shed?

    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.

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

    “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.

    Isn’t that in tornado alley? I wouldn’t dare. It’s like a giant trailer, any tornado will be drawn to that like a magnet.
