When our film major daughter comes home from grad school, we watch a ton of movies. The vast majority of these movies are indie flicks that leave me and my husband in a state of confusion. Give us Leslie Nielson doing one of his funny expressions in any of the Naked Gun movies and we howl every single time.
One of our daughter’s favorite indie movies is Midsommar. The movie is about a bad breakup, old people jumping off a cliff, murder and, in the end, this distinctive, yellow A-frame building gets set on fire and this is all during a festival where people, stoned on acid, dance around a maypole with lovely flowers in their hair.
Now, when I saw the house featured in this week’s column, the first thing I thought about was the yellow A-frame house in Midsommar. Mostly because I was just as confused looking at the home as I was after watching Midsommar.
This home sits on two acres and has three bedrooms and one bathroom. It is located at 9244 West Wilshire Blvd, Yukon, Oklahoma. The almost 1,900-square-foot home is on the market for a cool $350K.
Now, the question I want answered is where do you go once you reach the top of the ladder? Why is there even a ladder there? Is this a thing in Oklahoma where you stick a ladder to the side of your house and you just climb up and down? Is that where they go to howl at the moon or watch for tornados?
Let us proceed to the interior but know that I could spend a lot more time on this ladder.
The description says “The home features a unique layout with rustic interior woodwork.”
I presume this creative use of shiplap is the “rustic” woodwork.
So how much bodily injury coverage do you think you need to carry on your homeowner’s policy to protect you from having people use a ladder to get to the second floor?
I think it is really funny that if you look closely at the second photo they had to add a block of wood because the ladder going upstairs did not reach the platform.
I have two words for you: rustic woodwork.
Okay, okay, enough with the ladder situation we have going on at the house. Let us check out the laundry room and the bathroom. There’s only one bathroom so it needs to be able to handle the workload.
Hey, you are there to do laundry. If you want to go outside to climb the roof ladder then use the front door like a normal person.
The freaking bathroom is on the second floor. So if you really have to go, you guessed it, you are climbing the ladder.
I want to meet a woman in her 50s who has had at least one child and can climb the ladder to get to the second-floor bathroom and is able to do it without peeing her pants. If this woman exists, I will bow down to this queen and try to live up to her standards because she is surely the alpha of my gender.
So as I have been writing, I have been trying to figure out this whole ladder situation. The owners are not fans of Midsommar. They are huge Game of Thrones fans.
Oh Littlefinger, you were always so wise.
