The House of Doom. Beware, all ye who enter here… The Backyard of Doom. They let us keep the chickens and rabbit. Even though everything in Australia is upside down, cornices (aka crown moldings) should be on the ceiling, not the floor. That cornice above the front door isn’t looking too healthy either… An hour later, just after the first cornice was all cleaned up. Well, that one is no longer a safety hazard. “I don’t think that’s a problem.” Notice the ladder in the middle of the room. Structural light switch Structural light switch, too close for comfort. Exploding bricks behind the wardrobe Lead Architect: Dr. Seuss The cornice must have been holding the wall together. Kokopelli on crack. This one was actually in the “safe” section of the house. Those curtains alone should be sufficient grounds to deem the house uninhabitable. One room for the price of four
