As a former ironworker I can definitely say... some engineers are shitty, some are great, a select few are phenomenal- none are perfect

#13 is like a really good safehouse during zombie apocalypse but its also really risky to live in.

All they had to do was back the stairs up like 2 feet, which would work

#7 actually makes sense, if you don't want the riff-raff on your roof.

I hope everyone stops taking building codes for granted now!

#11 is actually a stabilization method used to protect a building from earthquake shock... it isn't a fuck up or anything too strange really

#1 I'm not the only one who saw it, am I? (I'll let myself out)

They needed to add wheelchair accessibility, so they did it without removing the old, just add a wall, and concrete slopes

As an architect, I'm really unsure wether to laugh or to throw up.

I recognised that from Dubrovnik. Not much space there, so I think they did well!

I lived in a barn with an apartment in the loft. There were 2 doors downstairs to where the keg was. One had stairs and one didn't. 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

They were right next to each other. The people I lived with saved me from falling out the wrong door naked several times.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Why didn't you lock the door, or put a sofa in front of it or something

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

They were in a hallway, and I don't think there was a lock or maybe didn't think to put on on there. Drunk logic I guess.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Wait were you drunk the entire time you lived there?

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Yes, there was always a keg and a fridge full of beer and cider downstairs.

As an someone who works occasionally helping his uncle with his tile bussines, that was painful to see.... So much work to be redone.

The wrong tile side is facing up.

9 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 1

technically? all the tiles are upside down. practically? nothing. it's a great non-skid surface.

That was driving me crazy thank you.

9 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

Thank you! I thought they were like the ones you see at handicapped curbs where they're textured. I've never installed tile, I guess.

Just add some shrinkwrap around them to bring it up to code.

and great way to cheaply build a foundation

I could imagine it actually being really useful if they patched it up a bit, maybe filled it with dirt or cement. Some stacks are loose tho.

Rammed earth tire foundations/walls are actually pretty common in 3rd world and making a push into US market. https://youtu.be/5pxlp7oQ2MU

#7 I don't see anything wrong here. What am I missing, please?

Looks like an un-finished upper level (or they want to keep people out?)

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Exactly. It's all a security measure to keep unwanted people without a key off the roof. Pretty good job if you ask me.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Its just a roof access for pipe or satellite, etc. I visited mexico last year and there was a "corona" building just like the photo. 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

But anyhow, the buildings were just shoddily made of concrete with random staircases to the roof here and there. Crime wasnt really an issue

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Then they wouldn't need the door and extra wall to the right of the door.
