as a person from boston and around boston, i can say this is fairly common bc of old weird houses

[@gameplay2873]

the first one got my heartt

[@angelalane8660]

@13:55- the iron ring in the sidewalk is what people tied their horses to back in the day.

[@DominiqueB]

and motorcycles nowadays :-)

[@kamX-rz4uy]

9:22 My mom's house was built in the 1800's and has a tree trunk in the middle of the basement. It's quite thick and isn't going anywhere.

[@updownstate]

My husband and I flipped/remodeled houses and some of what we saw was truly frightening

[@joegilly1523]

12:47 The chimney was made like that,so in a heavy rain the stove or furnace would not get as wet . Not a straight shot down to the pit.

[@Sigart]

... but a chimney should be straight to prevent fire?

[@joegilly1523]

@@Sigart I asked my father in law who is a Manson about the chimney in a apartment I bought 35 years ago. That was the answer he gave me. Coal will not leave Soot in the chimney,coal dust but not soot.

13:53 is an old horse ring used to tie horses when horse and buggies were common. We still have well preserved ones alongside our church here in Portland.

3:01 I think it's an old cistern. Downspouts would have directed rainwater into it. Probably pumped out with a hand pump usually placed close to the kitchen.

[@haroldwilkes6608]

Unless there's a kiln on the other side, I think you're right.

[@berylwhite2983]

If was cistern they used it for bathing and such to safe well water we did all use it for watering the garden between rains.

[@carriemcarthur8125]

Never know what's behind closed doors. I live in a rental unit l thought everything looked fine. One day my husband left for work before me and l heard the tap running l go look and the hose under the bathroom sink disconnected water flowing everywhere and hot. I found the shut off valve but stiff and hard to move finally got it shut off but 1/2 to 1 inch water needing to be mopped. Can you imagine if l was not home l still have nightmares. It may look good but on closer inspection not so. Thanks for sharing.

[@linksysroutenoh.3460]

I know that tune. I was lying in bed one night when I heard the toilet start filling. As I live alone, this was a surprise. Went into the bathroom and found water everywhere; the toilet tank had cracked. On the upside, there are hoses you can get for your toilet and sink that will shut down the flow if it goes on for too long. Got them two days later.

[@joka7316]

I work for the water company, once a month that type of thing happens. It sucks, things rot boilers blow, pipe freeze and split etc.

[@jayprojects9693]

Even though we may not think about them often, it's good to exercise water shut off valves around the house yearly so they'll work when needed.

[@joka7316]

0:40 these were installed with a pulley above the top door for lifting big furniture to the second floor. They work great.

[@BagladyNH]

Remember how people use to make chains out of beer tabs? I bought a house and needed to get behind the wall under the kitchen sink... big leak problem. Got the wall down only to find out someone made a beer tab chain to hold up a water pipe.

[@ceilingunlimited2430]

Did it work?

[@BagladyNH]

@@ceilingunlimited2430 ha ha no, hence the leaky wall I had to take apart.

[@ceilingunlimited2430]

I'm not a beer drinker, but I'm assuming part of the answer was to drink more beer. My list of hated home chores is 1) breaking up ice dams 2) leaf raking 3) ANYTHING having to do with water because the answer always lies underneath or behind something and is a total knucklebuster every time, and every time you finish the chore, you say to yourself "I shouldn't have to mess with that again....for about five years."

[@BagladyNH]

I cracked up so hard at the mother in law door 🤣🤣🤣

[@unaverageavocado159]

5:54 that’s kinda... pushing it too far

[@jawjagrrl]

My first house had a working fuse panel - 10 amp service. With 30 amp fuses screwed in. It was double-tapped into a circuit breaker box - the inspector was horrifed.

[@MikeMillerLeatherneckMarine]

just, Wow.

[@julieharris7271]

Interesting, sure interesting indeed...

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

14:05 Someone forgot the caption covers the thing that someone forgot: a drain hole. The mother-in-law door is waiting for the deck guy to arrive. In Maine it's a snow door. Nothing wrong with a fuse box. "Hope the rock doesn't move" is repeated from another angle. Dryer exhausts in the attic is incredibly common. Usually the roof guy missed it. Kitchen in bathroom is very common during a whole house remodel by homeowner.

[@Hexalobular]

@BariumCobaltNitrog3n If it was forgotten, how can it be covered up? And what is the silver disk behind the caption (very briefly visible as the caption rolls into place) if not a drain plug? I was thinking they thought the faucet was missing, which it seems to be, is the tub filled through those small holes? I'm thinking they're water jets?

[@oaxaca1948]

that ladder on the roof is a good one. go out the window if there is a fire and not slip off the roof.

The top dead bolt on the bathroom door shown from 0:14 to 0:18 is orientated the wrong way. It actually would lock you in the bathroom from the outside and not lock others out.

0:15 who are they locking in that bathroom? A double keyed deadbolt and one of the top deadbolts has the knob on the exterior of the bathroom.

[@mayorb3366]

Evidently the door can be locked from both sides. My guess is that it is a shared bathroom between two suites. There's probably another door out of sight with same setup. I lived in a place like that, but only a privacy set (push and twist button on doorknob) in bath, and a deadbolt on other side of each door.

[@charlotterose8350]

Wait. Now I want to move to Boston Because of the first one........

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

20 years ago when we installed the first electric garage door opener for my grandmother we installed the sensors about 2 feet from the floor so that she wouldn't smash her car accidentally. No small kids or pets around. You know how seniors can get flustered when not accustomed to modern technology.

[@mangot589]

The toilet in the kitchen😱 they should at least put up a divider. A piece of wood. A curtain. Anything. I could think of what how unhygienic that is. I get that’s the only place, but still....

Might be a couple years ago but all of these things in this video are being done now in 2023 by the Spanish construction crews the best of all it's only in new construction where you see this

[@queenrainy8487]

I can explain the picture at 7:50. It is obviously a parent who is wise enough to hid the snacks so the kidos will not eat them all and every parent know where to hid snacks from their kids. Most kids are not gonna look in a dishwasher so that makes it the perfect hiding place for things you don't want your little ones to find.😅😅😅

[@felixb.3420]

I apologize in advance for my naive question but ... are there no laws in The States to forbid this "creativity"? Greetings from Germany ☝️🧐

[@Bobrogers99]

There are laws in most states to prevent the "creativity", but we have many building supply stores that will sell you everything for a DIY project that you do without a permit and no inspection. Some states allow a homeowner to do his own electrical and plumbing work. If you sell the house it's up to the buyer to pay for an inspection, and sometimes they don't bother.

I could be wrong, however I think they were referring to what the actual digits of the security code are based on how dirty (frequently used) specific numbers are versus the “enter button” as the enter button is still very common today on remote entry pads.
