I always try to imagine the exact moment that it dawned on someone that something might be wrong.

Its mind boggling the number of people, from building contractor, foundation crew to carpenters, all the way through to the crew that poured the driveway that must have said "I'm just doing my job" and ignored the ridiculously obvious problem-in-the-making in the driveway photo I'm constantly amazed that this kind of stuff happens...

Now, what would Escher do?
Ummm, wow!
With a half pipe for a driveway I'm guessing a skate boarder lives in this house..
I fail to see anything wrong with any of these photos. I do these things all the time and never get any complaints. A hand railing would be nice on the stairs though.
These pics were funny back in 'o6 on fugly.com too.

Giving credit where credit's due, maybe "squartie" should have too . . .
Even before anyone got started, the local building department should have caught this. What a sad testament to contractors.
I really hope these are photoshopped...
The famous steep driveway house on New Bridge Rd. is bad, but not as bad as the photo indicates. Better use your parking brake!

I was trying to see what was wrong with the pictures and then I noticed the sidewalk is not finished in the first photo, there is no hand railing on the stairs in the second photo and I'm assuming the urinals were installed in the ladies room.
Good on Fine Home Building for presenting a challenge for us to find what is wrong.
