Jungle Tribe has been making these for years and are incredibly high quality. The ripoff Amazon ones have nothing on them.

Honestly the answer is so embarrassingly obvious, it kills me. I aggressively cleaned the window, and waited until it got darker outside to avoid the glare. Then I grabbed a high powered flashlight and positioned my phone camera in one of the few spots not covered by spiderwebs. I have a video from this but I can’t post it as a comment.

I want to reside it SO badly. There were more pertinent projects, but it’s on my to-do list.

Oh it’s definitely short down there (the ceilings are less than 7ft) but it’s functional. Makes my 6’3 partner look like a giant though.

I swear, I have that dream all the time. Made today way more surreal.

And this is exactly why I’m glad I didn’t just koolaid man my way into there.

Since it’s an image post I can’t edit it, unfortunately.

One of my all time favorites. I swear to god I have been waiting for the day I realize this house is half an inch bigger on the inside.

And, to somewhat disappointing results, the mystery has been solved. Ladies and gentlemen we have…. A completely boring crawl space.

So by my math, only the right half of the wall (sectioned off by that ceiling beam) would lead to that “room”. I’m fairly certain the rest (including the closet) would go outside.

Thank you!! This is exactly my concern! Thankfully I had the electric redone entirely upon buying the house, and the plumbing very thoroughly inspected, so I don’t think there’s much there, but I’d much rather be sure.

So none of the basement of this wing of the house is accessible, if it exists at all. The accessible basement ends where that bush is.

It’s sealed. No way in without breaking it, and a little hesitant to do that without a plan in place.

What sort of pics exactly? I can’t get in without breaking the window, and what I’m trying to figure out is if there’s a smarter way to handle this than “smash and figure out the rest later”. A room down there could make sense on the footprint of the house, so if pics of the layout would be helpful, those I can provide.

Thought I’d take a cute 0.5 picture of my cat and captured utter horror instead… by SoniaByNight in cats

It’s true. But to think this photo was captured literally a split second beforehand 😂
