    ya it’s not “old van stuck to the side of the house” bad, but it’s still pretty rough, especially if you see it in person. It looks kinda straight in the pic, in real life tho it’s pretty far off. I can’t get a better pic of it because of the two massive maples and a pine tree that hide a lot of the house.

    It’s funny to even look at in my opinion… He did the work the absolute laziest way possible. You can still see the old roofline (complete with shingles) of the old porch sticking out of the wall. But the place cost less than the property was worth, so that kind of evens things out lol

    lol that sounds pretty bad. It’s hard to say which is the worst thing done to this place… maybe the fact that he lowered the roof after a fire from an actual 2 storey house to a 1 1/2 storey, and completely built over the porch (porch roof and all, which is still up there under the rest of the house. The porch doesn’t even have a proper foundation and he added a lot of weight to it, so now that corner of my place shifts with the seasons, making my front door jam sometimes, and pop open on it’s own other times.

    When he died nobody knew for a while after, so at least I did get new flooring out of the deal. Problem is whoever did the flooring wasn’t much better at carpentry than he was… :/

    Never understood the issue some people have with living in a house where someone died in. I’m sitting 4 feet away from where the previous owner of this house died, and the only spooky shit here is the half assed work the guy did to the place when he was still around.

    Some people should not be allowed to have a hammer.



  • Speed I’m bilingual in, I’m old enough to remember when we changed from miles to km and watching the road signs gradually get replaced. Manitoba also runs a grid pattern on roads throughout a lot of the southern province, having at least a gravel/dirt road nearly every mile, so you kinda grow up with that burned into your brain.

    Temp wise, C all the way. Fahrenheit totally screws me up. I know 70 is around room temp but beyond that I need to convert it for my simple brain to understand.
