The AirBNB is downstairs. Or as Pat insists on calling it, “AB&B.”

Good luck renting it out once it's completely ruined with water damage and black mold.

And that you'll unfortunately have to deal with unpleasant behavior from Rick and Big Nick. Good fucking luck using the guest restroom though, you'll hear Rick yelling at his own toilet a lot too.

affront to carpentry

Can it be called carpentry when he's using plastic planks? What's the view going to be? The shot spotters and drug deals? If it actually comes to pass, local kids will warn each other to run past the house after nightfall lest the bacon beast catches them. I can see him taking night-vision pot shots from it with his temu tactical when his ire is raised. I would look forward to the 'AND NEVER RETURN' negligent discharge saga if his fat fingers could still fit inside the trigger guard.
Watching him slowly destroy a historic home is worse then seeing the place ripped down for a parking garage.

Gardening

That 'lawn' always makes me sad.

 

[CryptoHermit]

Someone get Nick Rochefort to spectate that shithole.

 

[MilkThePig]

I have it on good authority that Patrick's motivation for building this new balcony is so he can take his binoculars up there and scope out "future pepperonis" from the local elementary school.

This is a sick man we're dealing with. Fat too.

Maybe the Nick Rochefort of two years ago, but these days he’s too coked up and just speed scrolls through before giving a “eh, it’s an alright starter house.”

That's just slander. He will use it to piss down into his "garden" when he is too lazy to go to the toilet.

Not to mention all the dark skinned men coming by to make a gas deposit in Big Nick.

 

[lol cow supreme]

Ok re-looking at this he didnt build it off of an overhang he just nailed boards own on the roof of his covered porch (this is not an overhang that would be where the second floor extends beyond the first floor). Thats shared with the neighbor of the duplex. Did the neighbor agree to this? The roof is technically co-owned. Or does he own both and the air b-n-b the other unit?

Strange. So is he going to climb out his window now to enjoy his new widow's walk?

 

[McMitch]

This is what the situation is. Also the duplex sits one on top of the other.

I can’t tell if it’s sloped but something tells me it’s not fit for a balcony.
Also, imagine being the poor bar manager having to listen to a fat drunk lecture you on how 1 in 10 customers goes to the bar specifically to avoid alcohol.

From /r/Police:

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

The people who want salads aren’t typically fast food customers, and the people who are fast food customers usually skip the salad. So chains end up with complicated menu items that are expensive to prep, have shorter shelf lives, and don’t earn their keep. Pat thinks bars should pwn themselves in a similar fashion.

There's a category error that people fall into. Salads at fast food places aren't a destination, they're a "shutter up" - just like hamburgers on the chinese or mexican place's menu. Nobody is going to Juan's for a burger (save that one place one time I knew about) - but if I want burger and you want mexican, the existence of the burger solves the conundra. Salads at Culver's or whatever do this - the kids want burger, the dad wants burger, the wife wants to "eat healthy" (read: burger-class calories in a salad form) and so having a salad on the menu solves the problem.

Same thing with the virgin drinks - everyone wants to go to the bar, but Suzy has to be the DD and so she'll be ordering soda or mocktails. But they didn't pick the bar because of the mocktail - it's just whatever's on the menu.

Can you get into an argument as to which Mexican place has the best burger? Sure! But you're not going to go to an app to find that. You'll find the best mexican place, or the closest, or whatever, and then take whatever burger they happen to have.

This is what the situation is. Also the duplex sits one on top of the other.

Which means it's a fagplex and not a "real" duplex, just a strange twisted abomination build from splitting a normal house in twain top/bottom.

They're everywhere in the midwest and they all universally suck ass.

Appropriately for rick, they're like him, 1000 sq ft of shit in a 500 sq ft bag/footprint.

The worst chop job I’ve ever seen was when I was delivering pizzas and got an order where they split this gorgeous old house up into five apartments, with the fifth being a converted attic. No interior walk-up, it was the ricketiest slap job spic-built deck staircase I’ve ever seen, build out away from the building to get past the overhang on the roof. I felt like I was going to fall through just carrying a pizza up, let alone trying to get furniture up there.

I've seen a number of those and it blows my mind you can find them where it snows and rains holy shit

There's a door up there.

his house is 126 years old so I'm guessing when it was built it had a front balcony like many of his neighbors do.

I'm not sure if his current overhang is original, and if it's not it probably wasn't meant to be stood on

Also here's a better pic of his front porch before and after he replaced only the top of the steps with leftover composite decking

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

Holy fucking hell I've never noticed his aushwitz detached chimney before omg that thing is such a fucking shithole

or is that just a really bad photo of the building next door?

(As old as it is most has likely leeched out already but I wouldn't use it.)

 

[McMitch]

I think that’s the section 8 next door, the one that actually owns the fence Fatrick ripped out and installed backwards.

 

[It's Never Leprosy]

@Ill but he didn't fix the fucking stairs?! So his fat ass is still going to crash though them, he'll just land on composite instead of the ground. Christ on sale, Fatrick. You don't fucking work, how do you not have the time to look up DIY stuff? This is...wow. And I'm from the holler, I have seen some janky ass house repairs.

e: that overhang in front of the door is sloped (which, thank fuck, it's WI ffs) so it is most certainly not the original intended to bear weight. Somebody else said it too, but in snow heavy areas there is a specific way to build Mansards/flat roofing that don't involve them being able to hold much weight since they're supposed to eliminate piling snow as it accumulates. (RIP Vikings Stadium). But with that slope? Fuck no he can't build a balcony. What is he on crack?

 

[SwiftBucks]

Sometimes old houses like that had doors that led to flat roofed areas or more often the single story addition at the back of house. It wasnt uncommon for those doors to be in the bathroom, either. It was some kind of fire escape regulation iirc
