Times People Should Really Not Have Done Any Home Renovation Work Themselves

[@caroline4323]

The fireplace running away :D perfect description!

[@timgomolka644]

The wood around the light switch at 0:21 shows off really good skill. It also gives an optical illusion as it makes the switch look like it is either on top of a pyramid or at the bottom of a valley.

[@ikonix360]

The only issue is the vertical wood piece isn't centered under the switch

0:28 Actually it is pretty ingenious. Bad Schandau is part of the Saxonian Switzerland and at the time this house was build there was still pretty heavy snowstorms and so a lot of snow on the rooftops. If the roof was build like this and the snow just fell down and didn't put much weight on the roof. And the part on the front helped to not let the snow fall on the street but to the sides. So they did had a great architect working on this house.

4:22 An Architect actually did this. It’s done in symphony halls to break up resonant patterns in sound waves. And once the symphony starts, no one is allowed to enter the hall. You have to wait until the movement is over. When they do popular music, they seat latecomers between songs, not during.

[@Walkercolt1]

I think my 100 year-old house has problems: A bit small, tiny bathroom (but indoor plumbing), and built with REAL full 2x4 inch lumber. I replaced the "knob and thimble" wiring when I moved-in 40 years ago. My Grand-parents lived with it for nearly 40 years and FOUR fuses.

[@squishyshelli]

That archipelago joke was spot on 😂😂😂

[@Flutistno3]

Some of these I'm actually into, like the black and white checkered pattern, the two with wonky windows, the strange high-rise made of stairs, and the upside down house. It's strange... and I like strange.

[@DennisMoore664]

Part of what I liked about the black and white checkered pattern was that the pool table is mirrored so it's reflecting back the pattern. A whole house like that would be too much, but for a game room it works well. There were a lot of these I thought were unusual, interesting, or fun. All of which make life much more entertaining and for me that's kind of the point of this ride. Even something simple like the molding going around the light switch had a symmetrical aesthetic appeal to it.

[@sayrocks11]

Black and white is nice, but there are so many squares

[@maxravnaas1719]

So, I have some friends in Paris. They live in a place that their family has been for over 400 years. And, not to think it's anything but a product of time, tech and space, the bathtub is in the kitchen. At bath time, everyone politely turns around and keeps up the conversations.

[@dieseldragon6756]

I'll definitely *+1* this. I'm one of those over-active people who _love_ to walk several kilometres during their morning coffee, so free architectural reign for me would be an apartment whose parts were spread across otherwise unused spaces in a tower or large housing complex. Having a 5km walk between the living room and bedroom would be a _dream_ for someone of my inclination! ❤‍🔥 (So long as there isn't any problem with having a lavatory and wash basin in each distinct part. A regrettable necessity with my internal health issues... 😇)

I've been house hunting and I see this craziness all the time. I consider the price and then estimate how much more its going to cost to fix their mess. I saw a bathroom in the backdoor hallway- you can see out the back door windows as you sit on the toilet. I've seen sinks so close to the toilet that you can pee and wash your hands at the same time and your knees against the cabinet under the sink. I've seen basement doors that don't fully open because the kitchen counter is too long. I saw a living room with an 'open concept' kitchen but it had a large floor to ceiling box-it was a full bath! You could lay in the tub and chat with thd person cooking dinner. I get so pissed off seeing house after house with stupid construction!
