Anyone ever read "House of Leaves"? Or maybe Peter Cline's "14"?
How haunted do you think his house is? On a scale of 1 to "manifesting chimneys".

Maybe the same design principles used in Chuck's house were also applied to Voyager, and that's why the holodeck has a power source that's incompatible with the rest of the ship? ._.

Nah, Neelix has a time machine, and he just added another brick to the chimney every time Chuck called him stupid.

I believe it. I have a friend who lives in a 17thC Manse, and she is constantly finding surprise building structures. Fortunately the surprise features and spaces [an entire room just boarded up and forgotten] seem to have been decommissioned at least half competently. This does not surprise me at all, although it still has the whole "God or/and God
s are angry at Chuck" vibe. Seriously, Chuck, visit an exorcist or something, man. Get a Buddhist monk to drive away the evil spirits.

This sounds something you'd expect to see as an SCP, some sort of building anomoly that randomly grows chimneys... Actually, I'm pretty sure that IS an SCP, though this is clearly a dead specimin.
You should probably contact MTF- whichever "Home Improvements" just to be safe...

I believe it all Chuck. I had two friends that rented a house, with similar jury-rigged and questionable heritage, then they moved into a new house that an attempt had been made to update...until the last owner ran out of money. Both houses have had similar, and multiple WTF moments, with me pointing out something new almost every time I'm over there, or my friends finding one about once a week.

Poor Chuck, having to keep putting up with this stuff. Mate I think you may want to contact Dr Srrange this is not natural.
I don't know why this reminded me of Hogfather and the bathroom at UU that Ridcully unearthed. Like I said on YT this house sounds like it was built by Bloddy Stupid Johnson and just got displaced in the wrong trouser leg. Best of luck Chuck

It sounds like what The Burrow would look like without magic to hold it up.

I'd be very worried, if I couldn't figure out why half my home still has electricity, while the other half doesn't and all the circuit-breakers are "off". That means either there (hopefully) are hidden circuit breakers somewhere or there's a lot of wiring not being protected by a breaker, which is... bad.
