I love this Baysie house. It’s near the fish and chip and tattoo precincts btw. I find it heartwarming that the owner has made top dressing the council’s verge more of a priority than attaching the verandah posts to the ground! Is there even a front door? I would make seasoning my crepe pans the next big priority job. And the mega Palm. In this context I like it. Marvellous in almost every respect. May that top dressed council lawn be forever registered. By Bento.

Is that a hitching rail in front of the front door? Love it – truly rustic.

Wonderful. Perhaps more knowledgable Worsters can advise, but I thought the floating verandah was Australia’s sole contribution to architecture (apart from black-roofed homes on tiny blocks facing west).

Apart from shedism for larger projects of course.

Australia invented brick veneer, apparently.

I prefer brick veneer to double brick. We have the wonderful fake brick. where panels of some type of asbestos are coloured and textured to look like brick.

Double brick works best with about 5 days over 35oC. My bedroom is held at a nice steady 27 to 30 degrees. Thanks Midland Brick.

To dispel any doubts, I can confirm this house is occupied by at least 1 person. Possibly also his mother’s corpse.

Is there…a door?

I assume it’s around the back. And made of tarpaulin.

I remember a former landlord asking us what happened to all his antique doors he had stored under the house. Denied knowledge, but remembered the brass doorknob of one lying in the grate after we burnt them all during winter.

Surely some TV company could have a Renovation show at this address?

Running water might be an issue. I guess they can send Manu or Crazy Eyed Pete to fetch some well water.

Ya know, that place looks suspiciously like Bayswaters version of the Ettamogah Pub.
Did Ken Maynard ever visit Bayswater? I reckon he probably got his inspiration from sighting this joint.
Any signs of a Model T truck being parked on the roof sometime? That’d be a dead giveaway.

Wellthemorley version (vanished worst) wasn’t that far away.
