    What a rigamarole! I didn’t even think that far into it! It just looked like a bad idea, and you gave a good explanation why. I’m also pretty sure having a full-sized dead tree in the house isn’t the best idea either. I bet this house looked good on paper…

      A lot of things in that house invoke “it was probably a good idea, in the Seventies”. The dead tree is interesting but there’s quite a low wall around it that looks to leave the owner one stumble from death.

      I didn’t even think that far into it!

      It’s not too bad if you have access underneath it but if you wanted/had to change it you’d presumably need to build some kind of structure in the bathroom and winch it out.

      Of course, stumbling into it is another downside of the sunken path. I also presume you’d either have to get in it to clean it or kneel by it and lean precariously in.

        With the tree, I was thinking along the lines of termites and/or other bugs.

          Let us now all sit quietly and stare at the stone wall with the offset fireplace. No harm can come of us there, unless you trip and grate your face on the wall.
