Home ownership is a goal that's nearly universal. After all, we all want a comfortable place to lay our heads, free of landlords and weird neighbors.
But owning a home is no walk in the park. Owning comes with problems that never come up for renters. So if you're priced out of the current house market, check out these pics. They might help you feel better.
Here's a challenge: try to find one small part of this wall that looks like it's aligned correctly. I don't think there is one.
OP wrote that the city is not only utilizing their yard for demolition work, they're planning on bringing dumpsters in, too. Fun!
There's nothing like having a big common area with a brick fireplace and, uh, some kind of square checkpoint building within it.
It's one thing to have to climb through a window to get to an normally inaccessible area. But this is intended as a balcony. It shouldn't be so hard to access.
I don't know why people don't go for showers with frosted glass. It helps with privacy, there's no curtain required, and it hides soap scum to boot.
Utility poles have to go somewhere, I get it. But this one is really getting up close and personal with the house it's sharing a lot with.
The fun thing about this is the knowledge that literally every time there's a significant snowfall, this will happen.
There's nothing that strikes more terror into my heart than a severed internet cable. I guess 82-year-olds don't feel this anxiety.
It's absolutely wild how any dog, no matter how big or small, can absolutely rip the stuffing out of everything within range.
I thought the awkward front door was the worst part of this property, but then I saw the peaked roof.
I'm assuming there was once a fence attached to this, but it's more fun to imagine that it's always been a lone gate, connected to nothing.
If something was going to come out of the ground, it would be a lot more cool if it was something more valuable than old beer cans.
It's clear that house builders sometimes install things with absolutely no thought put into their utility.
I'm sure the person who made this started with the best of intentions, but things went downhill pretty quickly.
That dryer lint has to go somewhere. It's just unfortunate that 'somewhere' is this person's yard.
There's nothing like trading privacy and shade for a nice view...not that this is a particularly nice view.
If you ever saw the Kool-Aid man burst through a wall in an old ad, just know that this can happen in real life, just with cars.
Gates don't need to be door-height. They should be fence-height. If they're not, things just look weird. It's not that difficult — gates didn't need to be re-invented or anything.
The thing about sinkholes is that you never know there's one in your yard until you fall right into it.
It's hard to imagine the kind of wealth someone would need to have to go to this effort, isn't it?
