So presumably the tenant will be given the keys so they can lock & unlock the van. What's to stop them starting up and going for a drive? Bonkers.

Unfortunately not in parts of California, the median family home in San Jose is now almost $1 million. San Francisco, LA is just as bleak for people on the bottom of the income ladder.

unfortunately, I think it's not uncommon for people to live in a car in the US. saw a documentary how people lived when the recession started in 2008. there was a mom with two young kids living in a station wagon..

The Green Bay Packers in the NFL had a guy called Donald Driver, who fans loved... always happy, smiling, etc, made a number of 'Pro Bowls' (like the Premier League 'team of the season' equivalent) and holds a number of records with the club, retired about 5 years back. He was probably so happy in part because of where he came from, living out of a U-Haul moving van for quite a while as a child/young teen.

The landing pad is for the rescue helicopter to take you back to the mental hospital/morgue on the mainland after a few months.

I'd say so. My first thought after looking at the exterior pictures was the Agatha Christie story 'And Then There Were None.'

Flicking through the pic's i was thinking, jeez its a bit small alright, then BAM. Shower in the corner of the bedroom.... W.T.F?

I feel sorry for people who have to take these crappy places

At least on a cold winter's night you can set the washing machine and tumble dryer on at the same time and warm yourself with the fire that quickly consumes the entire shack.

delynet

Previous occupier must have been big into the mega hot curries, can't think of any other reason why you would need a fire extinguisher outside the toilet.

Also, is that some sort of containment area just beside the outside door. Maybe visitors have to be checked for flammable items before they are allowed to enter?

That has to be a safe distance away from the TV and other electrical fixtures right? Not to mention the build up of condensation and damp in the bedroom! WTF indeed!! How is this stuff even legal

Are the Gaeltacht refurbishment grants still going?

You could easily knock €20,000 off the price of a rundown house with the Gaeltacht housing grants, and then refurb the place at your leisure. A house on Tory for about €10k*. Not bad at all.

*You'd have to be nominally living there, and be a semi-decent Irish speaker of course.

You'd have to listen to the king and his poetry and his fecking accordion every time a boat lands though...not worth it.

I'm trying to figure out how exactly it would have nine bedrooms?

Massive site though...

Gaelic Nazi Irish teacher in School tried to change the vocational school into a Gaelscoil and got every teachers back up. It all ened up badly for him when he had a run in with the local papers and it all ended up in court and he and the principal got dismissed ........ He thought the only subject that was thought at the school at honours level was Irish. Parents were terrified of him.Gombeen man

Fair play for the quick response.
I'll do a bit of Googling later.

Normal looking semi-detached but the owners have been drinking the Kool-Aid in pic 8:

Gorgeous house, Kool aid gave me a shock all right but it's kind of cool!

PaddyWilliams

I think that's absolutely class.

Kamili

I love the Kool Aid Gaf, its stunning.

Captain Flaps

Kool Aid gaff is a LOT smaller than it looks, that living room is tiny. Very creative use of wide angle shots there!

The hole in the wall is excellent though.

Boo, shut up!! :mad:

All hail president Kool Aid Gaff!

The only thing that would improve that was if the mirror was in the shape of the cat out of Tom and Jerry..

I like the hole in the wall but I don't think it suits the house. It would be suited to a very modern art deco type place, like a NY apartment or something. A 3 bed semi in Dublin it just looks a bit out of place.
