A well-defended house


"Don't mind the clutter inside," says Kandi, who found this...

"You'll be enjoying the outdoor views of the missile range!"

Don't break the house! By Milton Bradley

"toilet installed, not to code"





So... is one of these toilets up to code, and one not? Or is the top one "before" and the bottom one "after"?

(From the same listing as the... um... ice tea, below.)

Can I offer you a glass of ice tea?

Nothing says "Buy this house and raise your children here!" like a big KEEP OUT sign in the window.

It's a toilet! No, it's a doorway! No... according to Julia, who found this listing, this door is the only way into the sun room behind the toilet.

The listing's website is tricky to navigate, so I'll just toss this in here. It's from the same house, and I think it's great. Well, so long as those are the family's kids, it's great. Otherwise it's bizarre and creepy. Either way, though, is it really a selling point?
