    This looks like one of those AI images that’s designed to trick your brain into thinking there are objects in the image when there aren’t. I swear there’s a house here, but I can’t see it if I look directly at it.

    Judging by the number of recycling bins on the back patio, I’d say some slumlord broke this house into 8 units and is renting it out to desperate people for way too much. Fire codes be damned.

        Those green storage tote looking bins are a common style of recycling bin, around here at least - I’m in North Carolina.

              It really shouldn’t, those are universal standards and there is no reason to be different than to confuse people.

                Regardless of whether it should or shouldn’t - it is. My parents have had a green recycle bin forever. My compost bins are brown and my trash is green.

                  It’s funny how you’re upvoted for assuming they are recycling and I’m Downvoted for pointing out things can be different, and than you’re upvoted for pointing it out too.

                  People are fucking stupid.

                There should be universal standards followed, but I’ve lived in multiple countries and states and there sure as shit isn’t any strict adherence to any color standard between recycling/trash/compost.

                  So…… why are people assuming they are recycling bins if they could by anything since color doesn’t matter……?

                I am not sure when curbside composting started being offered as a service, but I don’t recall hearing about it more than a decade ago. On the other hand, I remember seeing green recycling bins in the 90s (which is a far back as I can remember anything). In my town, we use both green and blue (covered) recycling bins. The color indicates the recycling schedule (they are picked up on alternating weeks).

        Visit a college town neighborhood some time, the official bins all got taken when the first set of renters needed boxes on move out day.

      Yeah, the external fire escapes on the second and third floor would also suggest that it’s been subdivided into several apartments.

      Holy shit I forgot about those bins, they got rid of them here where I live about 15 years ago or so and we have huge bins with lids for trash and recycling now.

    This post is super refreshing.

    There are a lot of “God look at this ugly house listing” communities. Usually when I see posts it’s either “gaudy McMansion” or “teardown job listed for $$$ based off property values”. I always end up unsubscribing to them because it’s just an endless feed of identical posts.

    This though? This is uniquely terrible.

    Do you want windows? we HAVE windows.

    When you build your Lego house from many leftover sets, run out of bricks and fill the missing parts with windows instead.

    I love looking at old houses and trying to trace the changes over the years, and trying to figure out when(ish) and why. This is a particularly fascinating house - thank you for sharing, OP!

    Ever played spiritfarer? There is a bit where you play tetris with houses. Same vibe.
    it’s odd but I can’t bring myself to hate it.

        I opened that video, saw the length and thought, I’ll just get a peek of the house and shut it off. I watched the whole thing. Holy shit.

        That globe headline - “Gutsy cripple builds 41-room Mansion… by himself!” I about spit out my coffee.

          I got to visit it once. It was pretty incredible. For a few bucks, he’d drunkenly show you around.
