I feel the garden lacks theming

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 2 points 3 hours ago

If someone had the funds for it, this could be remade into a lovely home with a lovely garden. There is potential there... but holy shit the amount of renovation that needs to be done before a real human can move in is exhausting.

The paint doesn't bother me one bit, since that's an easy fix and was clearly loved by the previous owner. What bothers me, however, is the clear signs of neglect to the home's maintenance (bathrooms falling apart, yard in disarray, carpets tattered, etc.), which is much more involved to correct, and is usually paired with much more expensive demos (structural, plumbing, electrical, etc.).

Don’t know why everybody is hating on it. It looks like a house where people could express themselves. Pretty cool. If you don’t like it you can renovate and paint t your own

[–] hydroxycotton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe because it's also in awful shape.

It’s a house they can’t go to the gym. Honestly not sure why you’re body shaming a house.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Seems like you could only express yourself in the form of heiroglyphs or teenage heart throbs.

The paint is no big deal.

The only thing that really bothers me about it is the layout:

Why the fuck is the toilet on the opposite side of the kitchen from the rest of the bathroom?!

They need to either:

  • move the toilet to the same room as the rest of the bathroom and then knock down the vestibule/pantry wall to make the kitchen less tiny, or
  • knock down the "shower room" wall to expand the kitchen, add a sink opposite the toilet (probably swapping them so the sink would be where the toilet is and the toilet would be under the stairs), and build a full bath somewhere upstairs, taking space from the weirdly-long bedroom.

Edit: now added shitty modified floorplans


Option 1:

Option 2:

[–] Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 1 points 43 minutes ago

I wish my toilets were separate. It's stupid to have the toilet next to where you brush your teeth.

Do us all a favor and never make a house layout again.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Why does the toilet need to be with the shower? Some sort of kink?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

It doesn't need to be with the shower.

But I noticed you didn't question why it needs to be with the sink.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Wouldn't be terrible if you're living with someone else. Actually kinda nice having separate use case.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

That's what option 2 would be for: a half-bath downstairs, and a full bath upstairs.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Wouldn't be surprised if the toilet was a later addition and simply tacked onto the back. I believe that wasn't unheard of.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

If you look at the aerial photo (pic #17), the neighboring unit on the right has a matching(?) bump-out. I think the unit on the left has done an addition, but I think this space might be original (although maybe it didn't originally have a toilet in it).

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 27 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Seems like the listing might be part of a pyramid scheme.

Someone told the owner they had a mental health problem but they were in denial.

[–] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 83 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

TIL my mental health isn't that bad.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago

It’s really ironic that while the internet is actually driving all crazy it’s also place where I can see just how sane I actually am

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yeahhhhhh this strikes me as someone who should have gotten help but didn't and was in a weird place.

And that weird place was a stencil store.

I was prepared for Groverhaus: UK, but not for GroverTut’s Psychadelic Tomb

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 28 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Well, you pay 125k for walls, a roof and some pipes and electrics. In some places that's cheap.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 18 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, honestly if I were in the market there, this place would catch my eye real quick. The poor taste can be mostly solved with some paint in a weekend or two, but the terrible look will be offputting to enough people that you will probably get a better price

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago

Nah, look at the landscaping in the backyard + loose/random tiling in the bathrooms. I'd be worried about mold.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 hours ago

The last house we bought was owned by a lady who collected and restored old books. There were over 5000 books in the house. There were bookcases on every wall, many of them in front of windows. The were stacks of books all over. It made the place really dark and feel cramped, but my wife and I could easily picture it without the books and bookcases, while apparently a lot of people couldn't. We got an amazing deal on it.

wooowwww

It's like living inside KidPix

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 37 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Thank you. I am properly disoriented now.

My partner say this might be an example of Outsider art.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

It might be. Pretty terrible outsider art, though.

I'm disappointed by the lack of Egyptian theme in the backyard. I expected the them would carry through.

[–] tychosmoose@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

I appreciate the jaunty angle of the toilet cistern. It has seen some shit but maintains an indefatigable elan.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly? A new coat of paint on the walls and a new kitchen & bathroom and this place would be pretty solid.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Looks pretty mouldy to me. I'd inspect that one verrry carefully.

Yeah, there is definitely a moisture problem somewhere. Could be from the fact that the shower is just a fucking floor pan in the middle of a room.

[–] EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 16 points 11 hours ago

That was truly awful. Owner afflicted by some ancient mummy curse?

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 hours ago

IDK if £125,000 is cheap for the area, but I imagine it would cost a lot more than it's worth to fix it. Looks like a bit of a disaster I'd expect to see on one of those shite reality shows where they fix up a house to flip it.

[–] Korval@lemmy.today 12 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Picture #15 will shock you! (so much so that it's censored?)

I spent too long trying to figure out what was going on with the walls (and ceiling!) in #s 2 and 3. My first thought was a kid run amuck with markers, but it's too..."well done." Wall paper? No, it's not regular enough. All I can come up with is stamps, which is confusing on its own.

Oh, and the spot at the end of the stairs in #9, under the window to another planet--that's got to be beginning of a wormhole forming, right?

[–] U7826391786239@piefed.zip 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

what sort of cultural art from today's civilizations will someone turn into a stroke induced feverdream on the walls of their house 2500 years from now? everything is born digital and most will of it will disappear whenever its format does
