Doesn’t look code compliant to me.
Mike Holmes would crap himself.
Hark! What light from yonder winder breaks?
@Doomtrain
Love it!
Bubba, O Bubba! Wherefore art you, Bubba?
Surely Romeo would incur the additional risk of it+Juliet collapsing on him?
I would have saved myself some money and made it out of wood pallets…
No. Just…no.
I can see it now… its a beautiful morning, with a newspaper under arm, a cup of coffee in hand, and then, you decide you should try out the new balcony your handy man of a husband made for your suprise birthday. Then you realize, last time he made something, you HAD to get a newfront door, you HAD whiplash, and you almost HAD a divorce. So you decide that the breakfast nook seems quite comfortable.
Even comes with a convenient tree for sneaking in and out. Though that too looks like it’s about to fall over.
Why do I get the feeling that there is a kludged doorbell on that door?
And isn’t that an odd place to be hanging a barbershop quartet hat?
Yeah, I’d put a nice deck out on the lower level, room enough for some chairs and a grill, take out that concrete stoop, then a nice upper level, bigger than that, would be pretty sweet. But then I’ve built a couple of decks. This is a lose.
“Jewliet-Annabelle Capoolet, what did Ah tell y’all about dem Montaygoo fellers next farm ovah? If’n Ah see y’all wi’ thayt Romeo feller ONE MORE TAHM Ah’m gonn’ git out mah varmint rifle an’ teach that boy a lesson!”
Homeo, oh Homeo, where art thou Homeo?….He’e I is!!
why not just a ladder nailed to the side of the house
That’s why there is a tree next too
…and the things that ought to be photo-shopped (or we WISH they were) usually turn out to be real. It looks like this “handy”-man could have put his addition almost anywhere on the upper floor, but instead chose to install it nearly directly over another door. Is this what one calls killing two birds with one stone?
looks to me like a 2 flat turned into a 1 flat somewhere up in Wisconsin
Hey man thats my deerstand.
now remember, if the room inspector comes by, this is a balcony
@jim har: You’ve got it reversed, Jim. It’s a 1 flat turned into a 2 flat. The balcony provides a second exit probably required by code. Note the new exit door behind the balcony. I do agree it’s probably somewhere up in Wisconsin. I’ve seen worse in my travels there.
See honey, now we can advertise that the apartment upstairs rents with a private balcony!
The technical name for this is a “jump deck”, and yes, it is required by fire code for upper-floor apartments that do not have a second entrance. I would be surprised, however, if the construction met porch construction standards.
We looked at a house very similar to that one same color and everything. Except the porch was in the back. It looked just as unsafe.
Looks like a Polish fire escape!
I was born and raised in central WI and I didn’t get it until I read the comments. But yah, one thin 2×4 support, not so hot.
But now it doubles as a door roof porch thing o.O
But even the good looking ones are only just big enough to open the emergency door… Or it can let a breeze through…
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone…
Juliet > Romeo, where the hell are ya?!
Romeo > Damnit Juliet, I’d one told ya I’m gunna get more beer!
Oh Juliet, when will yonder balcony break?
