So I won $5 in the lottery - that's right ladies, I'm now a dollardaire - and I decided, as one does, to go look at what the housing stock is like in my general area. It's kind of grim, but there are some hilarious gems which brought to mind a certain Spinster's recent house-hunting and the large number of houses she found with the toilet visible from the front door. This one isn't so bad, but I love the toilet on a pedestal in the basement viewable from the family room.

 If they hadn't used a glass pocket door... 

 Is the staircase retractable?! It doesn’t seem to have enough depth.
