I'd live there, get a few more crosses and lazy boys. Maybe some animal heads and more carpeting

this stunning shouse

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

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

...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?..

(looking at pictures) Huh? I don't understand. They're storing their stuff in there, what's so bad ab- ah, there's the, uh, living quarters, I see. Well okay then, it's not my style but I su- oh lawdy lawd a bunch of ~~crucifixes~~ crosses.

Edit: those are "just" crosses.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 55 points 3 days ago

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?

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 days ago

It's not terrible. It's definitely not for me, but I don't hate the living space.

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

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 14 points 3 days ago

Huh. TIL.

(Thinking about it, the remnants of my Latin knowledge from school say that makes sense.)

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.

"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.

I've installed Internet once to a warehouse like this that had a full on house built inside of one corner of it. Like we totally thought it was pretty normal, since we mostly installed for farms and the highest point to install the radios was usually a barn, shed or warehouse like this. But then when we went inside to run the cable, it was like a movie set. They even had a fake lawn.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

It probably was a set for video productions. Of a certain kind.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The wall of crosses is weird. What is the thing Jesus would least like to see if he returned?

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.

[–] Bubs12@lemm.ee 12 points 3 days ago

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

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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!

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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 looks like if an alien made a hamster cage for humans. The little plastic 'home' and all

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Christ that's a lot of decapitated things.

I'm assuming the inner building has its own air supply or there's just so much volume in the outer part so all the ICEs don't make everybody sleepy.

It's weird but frankly I'd live here as long as it had high speed internet.

No people and I could probably shoot off my back porch... Living the dream.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 8 points 3 days ago

shoot off my back porch

What did that porch ever do to you? Certainly there are more efficient was to be rid of it.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Here I'm just thinking that'd be an amazing place to have my boardgame collection and nerd space.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

You'd never have to finish a game, just set up a new table!

I've been sitting here trying to decide whether or not "shouse" was a typo.

Holy shit that crucifix wall on image 32 is insane

They're just crosses, I don't see any Jesuses.

I think that's what pushed it from unusual to over the top for me. I knew this community would get a laugh.

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think it's cool. This would be an outdoorsman's dream

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 days ago

TBH to me this is very appealing. I want a lot of space that is isolated from others and protected from the elements. This picture shows all those things.

[–] 4grams@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

No joke but aside from the lack of windows, this place is perfect. Well, windows and Kansas..

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

"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.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 hours ago

well i was interested but no way would i live in denmark

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not just a "shouse" but a "stunning shouse."

i kno it's evil to say, but when people genuinely have an american flag on their property i immediately assume it's a shidpost or at the very least ironic. but it's not, which makes it fun.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Nope. These days it's an indicator that you're almost certainly dealing with a magat. Occasionally you'll see an American flag with a pride flag or something similar below it and know that it's ironic.

Used to be that mostly only ex military or similar would fly a flag. Some folks would fly a flag from their porch for happy fireworks day or memorial day if they had family that died in a war. You almost never saw anyone with an actual flagpole in their yard. Flagpoles were for schools, government offices and such.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 hours ago

That's quite interesting, here in sweden at least (but i'm pretty sure the same applies to all the nordics at least) flagpoles are and have been very normal (though not super common), but they basically only ever fly the little triangular version of the flag. Basically a very very big and expensive decoration.

[–] Doombot1@lemmy.one 7 points 2 days ago

My family had a flag in our front yard for the first 10 years of my life, because my dad’s brother was in Afghanistan for the majority of that time. That said, we certainly wouldn’t put one up now :/ it’s been tarnished without question.
