$110k for that is the abomination.
What goes wrong in your life that you get that far and then decide to sell it?
>>2952305This is what happens when your sister-wife has filed for divorce and has taken your niece-daughter with herTruly dark times for uncle-daddy
>>2952207Sometimes it's better to just tear down and rebuild rather than trying to gut.
>>2952331Yes. But rarely
Another clumsy attempt to turn a house from the 1930s into an open floorplan. Seen lots of poor attempts but this is the first time I've seen a bookcase used to hide the back of an oven.
>>2952207Why are the headers fucked up like that? That passes code where you live?
>>2952320so basicly what all republican is deals with?
>>2952305The sale includes any personal items still in the home so it probably belonged to someone who died and now has been inherited by a relative that's not interested in the property.>>2952221There's also a rail line right behind the house and though not officially in a flood zone, it is at an elevated risk of flooding.
>>2952354This could have worked with a cooktop
>>2952360>so basicly what all republican is deals with?What did they mean by this?
>>2952421They meant "this is bait, please be stupid enough to bite".

>>2952566>>2952567Most of that looks easy to undo but I'd worry that the type of person who does that to the outside of their home is also doing lots of damaging things to the inside of the home.
>>2952354I'd be far more concerned about how much that floor/ceiling above is sagging since they removed the wall.
>>2952567>>2952566Imagine being a neighbor to this creative pile of garbage
>>2952207People will wonder why millenials and younger aren't buying houses while trying to sell this unfinished piece of shit for six figures.
>>2952867Go to college, go to grad, hope you can break 50k when you hit the ground running. Hope ai and foreign labor don't undercut your profession. Buy a $30k car so you can do said job, buy a $110,000 cut up hack-job of a double wide and pay 7% interest and taxes on that. Pull a goddess with your new palace. Go have kids and throw a huge wedding while you're at it. Take lots of vacations.
>>2953000>just pull yourself up by the bootstraps and eat beans and rice while living in a box for 40 years a-AAAAAAAAAAAA
>>2952585>>2952797he disconnected the heating because 'it saved money'he also discovered expanding spray foam and just attacked everything with it. his car is completely covered in it
>>2953378A froth pak is $350 and great foam is $3. There's about half as much yellow shit in the great foam so that's a pretty good roi.
>>2952566This is art.
>>2953115If you don't wanna homestead or own horses a box isn't that bad. Or it wasn't at least, box prices are probably as stupid as house prices these days.

>>2952566End HOAs with this one simple trick

>>2952566what if it was all a dream?
>>2952567>>2952566Based, my house my rules. Bootlickers need not apply.
>>2952354The range doesn't concern me beyond its lack of ventilation
>>2954754That over-the-range microwave on the opposite side of the room surely has enough air filtering power to handle the range that probably was once under it but now is behind the bookshelf.
>>2954643what is with one story houses having all this fucking roof
>>2955113Keeps the snow off so you roof doesn't cave in
>>2954754The lack of ventilation doesn't concern me, it's the deflection of that beam.
>>2952207>in case walking barefoot on legos wasnt enough of an endurance sport
>>2955221God I had a house with a kitchen that had slate tile just like this. It was abhorrent to walk on barefoot. Took days to pull it all out
>>2955154Maybe structural issues are why it's only $190k.
>>2952421man door hand hook car door
>>2955260How much are you supposed to pay for a 2 br ranch in Detroit suburb?
house posted in a nearby city on zillow, looks liminal as fuck, to use a zoomer term. I get the feeling living in this place would be unsettling at best.no rhyme or reason to the layout or flooring/paint etc, I think this was someone's flip before they ran out of money or something.
>>2955710has large rooms, lots of square footage, but just feels...odd. I wouldn't want to inhabit this structure.
>>2955711it looks like a rubik's cube of different houses got scrambled.
>>2955712corners of it look almost done, others look like they were extracted directly from a favela.no doubt this "bedroom" was only counted as such to raise the "value". the housing market is such a scam.
>>2955713has a large pool in the backyard too, with a ton of work this place might be liveable and maybe even valuable.
>>2955714no telling what happened in this bathroom.it was only listed recently after being inhabited for years. who lived here?
>>2955710Probably converted from a regular floor plan to an "open" floor plan because flippers love that shit.
>>2955557$450k-$750k seems to be the going rate but I'm guessing most of those have a good deal more square footage. If the sagging house has a basement with a good foundation, doubling the effective usable space could be possible. Basement/foundation quality is a pretty big factor in the area.
>>2955712Looks like some morons fells for the open floorplan meme and destroyed the layout of the house that wasn't designed originally to be so open. As far as the roof slope goes, most states have laws about how high a ceiling's clearance must be for the square footage under it to included.If they haven't fucked up anything structural and none of the major house systems is in bad shape, it looks like something that could be /diy/ed into something nice at a good price.
>>2955715>who lived here?I would be willing to bet almost anything that it was a widow and that her husband did most of the damage. After he died relatively young from some work-related illness in the 80s or 90s she lived there alone on his pension for a few decades as the issues piled up and then when she died her kids (eventually) cleaned it out, cleaned it up and put it on the market because they know that it's a nightmarish money sink. Five will get you ten that there's still knob-and-tube wiring somewhere in there.>Old house, old additions, somewhat newer rennovations>Decades of shitty /diy/ experiencing compound failures>Mish-mash of details and styles>100% chance that whoever did it went with the cheapest option they could findYou see a ton of places like this in cities that had an industrial boom somewhere between WWII and the early 70s. I've helped gut/clean/etc. houses like this before and it's extremely recognizable; the older generations had enough shop classes under their belt to be dangerous but were mostly doing it themselves to save money, they ALWAYS cheaped out, they ALWAYS just slapped the new shit on the old shit when they could get away with it and even the jobs that weren't half-assed are usually failing because of age and nature. One time I was helping gut a post-war split-level millworker's special and the bedrooms had long carpet over short carpet over linoleum over plastic tiles over a wood floor. It's kind of interesting, though, because often these guys did one thing really well; there was a big awkward cast-iron drain pipe (which was <6' off the ground and went right through the kitchen) that was obviously DIY'd but the joinery was absolutely immaculate. The old boy who lived there certainly wasn't a plumber but nobody makes joints like that without being some flavor of pipefitter.Got the link? I'd like to see the exterior.
>>2955743Nothing in those pictures looks old enough to have had knob-and-tube.
>>2955752>Nothing in those pictures looks old enough to have had knob-and-tube.I doubt that there's much of it but I would be willing to bet that there's some of it somewhere based on a guesstimate of the original house (under all of the additions and shitty tile and ripped-out walls and tacked-on HVAC) being from the first few decades of the 20th century. Maybe in the basement or attic or just some of it disconnected in a section of wall somewhere.
>>2955729I'll check it out, but I don't buy it. In my midwest city 400-600 gets you a pretty serious mcmansion. 2 story 4-6 bed. 100k gets you a bad small house in a poor neighborhood in the metro. >>2955710The countertops aren't even the same. mary the oven. fuck the fridge, paint the actual brick. kill the flooring, the hood soffit, the hearth, cabinet doors and paint them if not replace entire cabs, old fans, yellow paint.It could be worse, but not much.
>>2955713lol wtf. >slant fan, no vapor barrier, window ac cut into wallthe fooring is kinda nice
>>2955710Oh, this isn't so bad, just needlessly open floorpla->that retarded recessed dual-fluorescent tube light that won't adequately light up the kitchen>elevated platform by a fireplace>>2955711>ceiling fan in the middle of a weirdly shaped hard tile room with the blades nearly smacking that support beam>hard tile despite the fireplace suggesting it's meant to be a living room>>2955712>carpeted living room has another suicide fan and a couch pointed to a cut off wall that can't possibly have a good tv setup>hallway randomly has one of those hotel sconce lights>>2955713>another confusingly placed ceiling fan that isn't cooling a damn thing, not even the gutted vending machine looking thing>fancy wood tile for a nigh-unusable attic room under the slope>>2955714>the fireplace is actually a whatever-the-fuck-that-is with a random black square hiding part of the window>>2955715>duct tape doorframe with a seemingly structural rope tied to a towel rack>absurdly high-up toilet paper roll holder that's also strangely close to the door frame>mirror over the toilet>ceiling light on a shoddily placed board
>>2955755>>2955752There's some plasterboard or texture on one of their bearing walls. I thought only the historic sections of my city would still be knob, but I've found it in 3 more of our suburbs. I can barely believe how much old shit never gets replaced. >>2955829That has to be rafters and kickers. Then the ceiling sheets would be breaking down from condensate. If I'm right, it'd make me want to pull my hair out.
>>2955743>Got the link?https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1812-S-Bardo-St-Visalia-CA-93277/457664733_zpid/>>2955720>>2955731definitely flippers, this particular listing has no price history but I figured out yesterday the house sold in august for $210k:https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1812-S-Bardo-Ln-Visalia-CA-93277/16242082_zpid/same house, address is slightly different (St vs Ln). so some retarded flippers bought it for $210k, knocked down a bunch of walls and made a mess of the floor plan, realized they were in over their heads or ran out of money, and are now trying to pawn the mess over to someone else for 100 fucking thousand dollars more and wash their hands.somehow they think they did 100k worth of work on this house.being in the housing market for a few months has made hate flippers with a passion.
>>2954754This sort of thing is why most mortgages require home inspections.
my mancave tiny bathroomit always rustles autist’s jimmies that my toilet is not centered under skylight. but its close enough fer me to urinate standing up and i wasnt moving roof rafters around…
my shop100% built by me save fir hiring some essays to help me finish flatwork and one guy to assist me with hardie siding. abomination because the buildings propoertions are off- I had to s of free lumber and plywoid from my job. (commercial construction superintendent)So I went with 92 1/4 studs, 3x4 bottom plate + 6” stem wall for a ceill heught of about 8’6”It is two stories, but i should have used 1041/4 studs but muh free 8’ cdx plywood….
>>2956424It's like some video game where the devs were to lazy to put textures on the floor
This screams "my relative died and I want to put zero money into selling the house".
I've got something good. Let's start with living room/shower and sink combo.
>>2957166Nothing to see here, just walk trough kitchen
>>2957167And we arrive at the entrance and ... TOILET?
>>2957166That's a weird layout but judging from the locks on the door, that's an unsafe area. Maybe the wall layout was restricted due to it being a repurposed space. Can't imagine any sane person laying things out that way if they have a blank canvas.
>>2957106asbestosfloor tiles definitely, ceiling tiles maybe, plumbing elbows likely
>>2957168as a shy pooper I wish my bathroom had that many deadbolts
>>2957168Love the dick-height window so I can show off to the neighbors
>>2956424that is pretty dope bro give us the tour
>>2957182Much of the housing stock around here was built during peak asbestos so you're probably correct about the floor tiles. I'd tile over them rather than remove them. The drop ceiling would have to go. Unfortunately ceiling tiles of that age are almost always crumbly around the edges. Have to seal up the basement and have some Home Depot parking lot expendables come over to remove the tiles.
>>2955221>>2955231Baby feet pussies. Slate is the GOAT
>>2957325it's worth getting ceiling tiles tested, good chance they aren't asbestos and you can save some money, but if they are asbestos you want them removed carefully and the basement sealed off and fully cleaned of the dustthe flooring is going to be organically bound so if you just keep the dust down by wetting them and wear a respirator you can scrape them up and bag them yourself
>>2956424The shed is cute but the tiles around it look creepy
>>2956424Where are the path and the house?
>>2957326Slate tile looks like diarrhea
>>2955829I can't imagine the amount of money wasted to ruin a property like that.
>>2957168An entry door that opens outwards. So you can access the hinge pins from outside the house. That way if you lose your keys you can get in by just removing the hinge pins and pulling the door out of the frame.
not quite an abomination but still>>>/pol/521374624
I am both ashamed and proud of this one.
>>2952566>sorry about your meth addiction>how did you know?
>>2957622
>>2957667
>>2957668
>>2955710Is this in upstate NY? This looks extremely similar to a floorplan of a house we looked at in the catskills like 6 years ago. It was super bizzarely laid out and was a great deal for the space but needed a ton of work i couldnt afford to do at the time.
>>2955829>a random black square hiding part of the windowgotta be the chimney>>2956424nice anon
>>2956407caveat emptorshouldn't be shopping for a house if you don't have a basic understanding of framing etc, just stick to renting.
>>2952567The main question that determines all the rest is, Pink Floyd or George Floyd?
>>2957863ronnie of course
>>2955713>>2955714I need to sleep. These stupid ceiling fans are making me laugh like a hyena. Who thought of putting fans there?!
>>2957863>>2954251
>>2955715>>2955714Did they just randomly cover everything with a layer of white paint? I could imagine if you saw the original colors some of it would make a bit more sense.
>>2957166>living room/shower and sink combo.That's for shooting porn movies. So you don't have to move all the cameras and lights around for different scenes.
>>2957166>>2957167>>2957168
>>2952354My house was built in 1921 and has an open floorplan and works fine. The kitchen is just oriented the same way as the rest of the house.It's actually quite nice since we have two small kids and I can sit in one place and see the entire area they can get to.
>>2954754I fucking toured this house, it was shit. Had been a grow house for weed. Literally 30-40 outlets in every room. "Buyer takes responsibility for bringing unpermited additions up to code"
>>2955713Imagine how many air mattresses and gaming PCs could fit in there. You could have a barracks of 4chan users in your attic
>>2957622>>2957667>>2957668>>2957669There should be a little disclaimer at the start of these threads that if your posting something you personally did or witnessed, it probably isn't as funny or fucked up as you think it is.
>>2956420Was at a BnB that had that same sink. Takes up way too much space for what it adds in functionality.
>>2959194Looks fake. the spacing is way too tight. No one uses that many rafters. The sheathing thickness gives away the fake. It would be waving af if someone did try to staple down sheets onto that a roof that moves around that much.
>>2959166i'll post one of the same exact 20 images next time
>>2957658I'm proud of you. If it works and doesn't leak while holding up long enough for you not to be bothered by it, by all means, send it.
inch and a half offwell done framers
>>2959304No leaks and I sent it straight to the boss because he ordered the tank a day after he needed it and didn't give us any fittings to adapt it to his unusual purpose so it is what it is. They found it pretty funny, especially when I found a female coupler after having made one.
>>2959409inch and half, sooo double 2x4.
>>2959444Imagine taking furniture up those stairs.
>>2959505>Imagine taking furniture up those stairs.Maybe if you take it apart first.
>>2959444This is an artform. It should have been a lift. I'd put a mint diy venue or recording studio in the basement.
>>2952354I fucking hate open floorplans.
>>2955710Looks like some shit a high ranking yugoslav communist party member would leave behind.
>>2955713The 45 degree angle fan lmfao
