Is Harry at home?
Poster must be Harry Potter :3
Eh, this looks more like a work in progress than a kludge.
Absolutely! They intend to install the bottom half of the door once they lowered the floor.
Missed the height of the door the first time; thought we were looking at the closet instead.
Daniel cleverly found a way around being unable to reach door handles and checking the lagging on the pipes.
It looks like they sawed off the bottom part of a standard 6-panel door so it could fit in the wall below the stairs. I don’t think the stuff inside the “closet” is significant.
Special doorknob, for very very VERY short people?
Brass on the outside knob, chrome on the inside knob, waste pipe add it all up and it smells like trouble when that door closes.
Looks more like clever use of all available space in the house (and plumbing access) to me.
Do you guys see they sawed of one third of the door to make it fit?
It took me a second before I saw it, actually.
No, no, you’ve got it all wrong. What’s actually happened is the sewage pipe’s burst and the house is waist deep in sh…
I was thinking the same thing.
You found the room of Harry Potter.
Damn I was going to say that.
ditto. nice to see that other people think like me.
Yup. Stone covered I-Beam in the water park, not a kludge. Door cut off right below the door-knob to fit a dormer area – kludge. This looks horrible.
Not a dormer; concrete floor and poured kneewall suggests a basement. probably it’s only purpose is to enclose and hide the pipe. Half assed kludge at best.
It took me a moment to notice the bottom of the door was sawed off. Haha!
They should have cut to top part to get rid of the small inserts instead of the bottom. That way the door knob would have been in the middle and reachable without kneeling…
Maybe they were too lazy to rearrange the hinges or something. Even in that case, it would probably have been better to saw off the bottom rather than the top.
Likely it was a pre-hung door, so to avoid thinking through rehanging it, they just cut off the bottom frame and all.
Ho! That’s from being John Malkovich movie!
Ya beat me to it, JB.
This concept was taken from a rough draft of the first Chronicle of Narnia…initially entitled ‘The Lion, the Witch, and the Weird Door Underneath the Stairs’.
The other third of the doorway leads to HELL!!
The only kindness the Dursleys ever showed young Harry was to place the doorknob within reach when he was but a toddler.
Go inside, close the door and pipe down.
Like, whoa man… I’m having a seeeeeerious acid flashback man…
This door has something to do with the Philladelphia Experiment but I can’t quite put it all together.
Looks like a lot of work just to have a place to store a power adapter and a furnace filter.
AND a little piece of 2×4
AND the giant bong he was smoking out of before he tackled this project.
Look’s like Thereifixedit.com’s new server closet.
Nice to see a door with a knob that a three-year-old can reach. Shame it leads to possibly the only place in the house you really wouldn’t want a three-year-old to get into.
This property is listed as having 4bdrms, 3bath, and 8 and a half doors.
“I told the guy driving the Cement truck ‘whoa, that’s plenty’, but he just farted and kept on pouring”
These things happen when you hire an architect who likes to drop acid and watch Alice in Wonderland</i" too often.
Maybe its not a short door so much as REALLY tall carpet.
A hotel? Forget that! Your mom can stay with us… in the spare room downstairs.
It’s a small storage area under some stairs. I don’t see what’s so special about this.
Room for rent: cozy, well irrigated, can lock door for privacy. Looking for male age 18-25 who needs place for college. Must have own light bulb, no parties allowed. $200/month, call 555-555-5555.
Stairs (to right of door) reach a landing and then turn left. No problem with that. But why did they cut off the BOTTOM of the door, leaving the knob so low? Should have cut from the top of the door, and finished raw edge with strip of wood or veneer. This is a kludge – I bet the guy measured from the wrong end of the door and ended up with this (and didn’t want to move the hardware, etc). Remember the saying “measure Twice, cut once.” This is what happens when you measure once. . .
Actually, it’s an entrance/exit for Verne “Mini Me” Troyer !
OMG!! How are people suposed to get in there? Your suposed to have the top cut off!! hahahahhahahahaha. We’re not that lil
Oh no, grandma got out again!
Is the room getting smaller…or is Willie Wonka getting bigger?
Door knob doubles as door stop
