    Nice, but not a kludge.

    • kc/cc says:

      Maybe it is, if the plants are what’s holding the stairs up? Mostly I suspect that someone is just trying to shame their neighbors into trimming their hedge to better match the other yards around it.

  2. Kana says:

    The Knights Who Say ‘Ni’ request a shrubbery that isn’t a doorway.
    You have failed them.

    Day 450. Since the Na’vi uprising forced me out of the McDonalds, I have been seeking new shelter. Perhaps this strange portal will lead me into a new, zombie-free world, where I will find people to talk to, before my mind goes completely.

    That, or the zombies got here first with a hedge trimmer.

  4. waldo says:

    This looks like Don King’s new eco-friendly green house.

  5. surrealfarm says:

    Actually kinda nice.

  6. kc/cc says:

    I’m not much of a landscaper myself, but I can appreciate how the hedge isn’t lined up straight with the sidewalk in the way you might expect, instead steering you to the right like the half-dozen or so steps behind it. Got to be magic behind a topiary doorway like that.

  7. bigjohn756 says:

    Nice house. Too bad it’s only about a foot form it’s neighbor.

    • foofoobunny says:

      It looks like it’s in San Francisco. Row housing with common walls with your neighbors , moss/mildew on the exterior walls…

  8. Some hedge-trimming later and you actually have a thing of beauty. Not a kludge by any means, but you can’t call it ugly, either.

  9. Billy Bob says:

    I like that it leans to the right. That will come in handy on those nights you stumble in from the bar.

  10. tw says:

    This is a cool bit of topiary. Sure it’s not perfectly square, but that might be intended. Or it may not be fully finished. Plants need time to establish and it’s not a good idea to trim it at the wrong time of year.
    So yeah, this is the first time I’ve said this…not remotely in any way a kludge.

  11. dono1 says:

    The Accuracy & Distance test at the Paperboy Proving Grounds. Sadly, although his aim was good, this kid came up short of the target hoop and missed the stairs by a good six feet. Oh, well, there’s always next season…

  12. Sarge says:

    Nice topiary, but it’s not a kludge.

  13. Rissa says:

    Kind of want one, to be honest. (Then again, that was my reaction to the steampunk wooden bath taps, so…)

  14. Crudus says:

    good, now find another shrubbery and cut down the neighbor’s with a herring.

  15. Patrick says:

    Is that in San Francisco?

  16. teezboy says:

    hmm i don’t get the narnia reference,
    is it just me or..?

  17. Risu says:

    Would be epic if it was actually a painting hidden in the shrub. Like Wile E Coyote painting a tunnel on a rock wall :P

    • Dogmeat says:

      Your theory would explain why the newspaper fell so short of the stairs. So it is either a painting or the person trimming the hedges should have had a V8 before starting.

  18. Tintifee says:

    Am I the only one who sees two hedgehogs kissing?

  19. Steph says:

    Actually, I like it.

  20. Loren Pechtel says:

    Unless there’s an offending major branch in the way it’s sloppy work but there’s nothing kludgy about it.

  21. foofoobunny says:

    My guess was right:

    The house is at 60 Crestlake Dr, San Francisco, California 94116

    Check it out on Google Streetview.

  22. The Dude says:

    They are going to kill that poor woman man….

    Dude she kidnapped herself.

  23. Mack says:

    If you look at it on google maps streetview it was nice and square when google took their picture…

    Just ad gokus face in the middle and: Tadaah!

  26. val gag says:

    I get it !!…

    The stairs are leaning to the right. Right?
    So what do you do? If you trim your hedge trees strait up. You’ll end up with just a part of the stairway and a blank wall showing. That is not acceptable.

    There was no other available solutions folks!! After countless, sleepless nights it was decided in committee to go for the slant cut.
    Lots of thinking went into this. I know cause I was there……
