I Approve Of The Sass. “On A Huge Block Of Land Surrounded By A Housing Development Lives A Defiant Sydney Family Who Refused To Give Up Their Beloved Property"
"The two-hectare stretch of land at The Ponds sticks out like a sore thumb after rows of hundreds of houses sitting side-by-side sprang up around the block in recent years"
I would have planted trees around the perimeter so they can’t all look in to the house, and gives them something nicer to look at!
No Way. I’d Fall
To find out more about the “What The Crazy House” project, Bored Panda reached out to the creator behind it, Robyn from Ohio. “I’m married with 2 kids and I work part time at a shoe store,” she told us. Robyn said that she has always loved to look at houses. Once, she saw a space bedroom which became her first post. “It was unbelievably wild and I thought that I see weird stuff in the houses I look at all the time.”
That’s how she came up with an idea to put them all in one place and start the page. “On a whim one day, I made Whatthecrazyhouse. I don’t even think I remember how I came up with the name! It was just a split moment decision,” the creator said and added that she started “What The House” back in February, 2019 but she really didn’t get a following until this past year.

When asked how she’d describe her audience, Robyn said that they’re like her: “fun and snarky.” She added: “I’m proud to say they are nice and funny. I’ve never had a fight break out. Everyone is just here to laugh and make fun of stuff in a lighthearted manner.” Robyn really loves this page and she is super proud to run it. “It’s all for fun!,” she said.

The creator said that she “hates '80s decor so she posts some of that.” “I am constantly seeing things I’ve never thought possible and that shock me. And then I think that someone did this… on purpose?! What?!!” she wondered.
We also asked Robyn what was the craziest house she has ever seen, and she said that “it’s a tie between the murder house and the cat poster house where cat pictures were EVERYWHERE. I mean it: they were all over the bathroom and kitchen and walls and ceiling. Just cats.”

When asked what could be the motives for why people design and build such crazy houses, Robyn said that this is how they express themselves or that they’re simply weird. “We are all a little weird, but sometimes things just go wacky and we get the wild things I post.”

Ditto, I’m a big fan of enclosed spaces (they make me feel calm). Caves are my favourite.

Caves like these usually stay at 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. Possibly warmer than that in Arkansas since it's technically in the "South". We have a lot of limestone caves in Kansas City - some natural & some left as a result of mining limestone.

I actually love it. Can you imagine how cool it would be in the summer? Then the heat would stay in well during the winter.
This so cool in different ways. Temperature must be marvelous and just so cool to look at.

Ahhh...the soft sound of leathery wings in the night....very soothing.
Mold.... All I can think of, because it's definitely gotta be damp all the time
That bed being so close to the stalactites is making my heart flutter and not in a good way!
Love the outside, living area is interesting but that bedroom is a great big claustrophobic nope!
I would love it. <3 And the thing that's freaking other people out, well... Something's gonna take you out eventually. At least this would be instantaneous.
Awesome, well fortified. Needs a garden outside though, rather just pavement
I show a show, it showed them staying the night and absolutely tore up the whole room.
On one hand: Awesome! On other hand: If it rains, do they get soaked? ...
Mind the bats on the ceiling though, hope you have a use for guano

Aside from some of the color schemes, it’s not half bad. Outside is really nice, though I’d go with pale blue or pale yellow instead of mint green.
No Need For That
I've seen the reverse of this too - where there is the air vent cover like this with just a hole through the wall behind it to another room (not leading to any ductwork).

You are 100% incorrect. ZGW steals them from me. Also they don't post individual pictures- only full listings.
