That's the basement. You can tell because of the ledge; that's common in split levels. I guess he lives down there now, and still sleeps with Barb. I was hoping he would get his old room back because everyone wants some privacy every now and again.

Shame, really. I'll miss that fabled bedroom.

Why wouldn't he move into his old room? I would think at this point the house is fully operational and that Chris should be able to move back into the old digs.

I had no idea 14 Branchland Court even had a basement. He doesn't say anything about it in either tour. I guess it was so filled with hoard that Chris didn't even think about it. But sure enough, it's right there in the public property records: finished basement. Why shouldn't we assume that Chris hasn't turned the basement into a work area? After all, he had an entire room just for his Lego creations in the rental house. I don't think we can make assumptions about the sleeping arrangements.

Barb has long demanded that Chris sleeps with her (no not that way you sick fucks) since Bob has passed away, there was a uncomfortable disclosure of spooning with his Mum.

Well yeah, 14BC is one of those generic 1970s split levels where the front door is in the basement. You go through the door and you're in a foyer with vaulted ceilings. Stairs lead up to the kitchen/dining room/family room upstairs, usually the master bedroom is up there as well. The rest of the bedrooms and maybe a half bath go in the basement (music room in the case of the Chandlers). It's an outdated design as nowadays people prefer ranch homes or ones with all the essential rooms on the first floor.

I've been in so many of these types of homes that I can pretty well guess what the layout of 14BC is without thinking about it much. This sort of design is VERY common, especially in neighborhoods that were built in the 1970s and 1980s.

Was Bob n Borb the original owners of the house?

It wouldn't supprise me if they where, but if they where not they could have only been the 2nd set. Then again if Bob owned it before Barb landed him he could have been the original owner and then moved Barb in once they got married.

I will never get over the sheer moonbattery of this picture. He really looks like somebody's doughy old aunt that surprisingly plays with toys. He makes a truly hideous woman. He will simply never comprehend how utterly foolish he looks.

At least when he goes out his outfits usually cover up most everything, I'll give him that.

old lady skirts & tops > booty shorts/revealing halter tops

What is that green robot at Chris left? looks like a Zaku but cant tell for sure.

It's almost G1 Scorponok: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scorponok_(G1)#Generation_1 but there are some differences in bumps.

You can clearly see some of the bargain coffee-tables that Barb got from Goodwill.(1970s style with tile inlay)
He is evolving to the ultimate trans tumblr Brony

Spoiler: Looks like this one

1.) Container underneath the table: wastebin or hoard storage?
2.) Who took the pic? I assume it was Barb. But then, while taking it and while looking at it, what went through her mind? And why wasn't it: "Golly gee, here's my unemployable 30-year old son dressed like a bag lady posing with and surrounded by kids' toys which he values above all else."
Makes me sad just to think about it. I mean, just looking at that pic makes it bloody obvious that something went absolutely wrong with Fatty. Yet here he is, smugly staring past the camera.

That is an interesting question. Remined I knew someone who was a friend of my late mother's who lived in such a house, though theirs was configured slightly different where there was essentially four split levels. The kitchen/dining/living room were on one, the garage/laundry room on another, the basement being the lowest and the bedrooms/bathroom the very top.

How I feel too.

Both.

Jesus, that dome.

When it gets that bad you have to bite the bullet and shave the lot off. Obviously Chris wont do that because in his mind it'll impact on his femininity, but since he's already about as feminine as an aircraft carrier he's not got that far to fall.

Spoiler: Shit Earring

Also, has anyone else noted his earring (visible on his left ear)? What is it? Am I crazy, or does it look like it could be the latest incarnation of the Sonichu medallion, or is it just some goddawful antique of Barbs that he found in his dressing-up box?

Pretty sure he just found it in the Hoard and decided it made him look more feminine.

Could be that the basement is bigger. I reckon Barb asked him which room he'd want to store all his random old shit in and he chose the basement because it's the biggest, hence more space for toys. Also, he could be living in his old room but storing his toys in the basement.

Pretty sure he just found it in the Hoard and decided it made him look more feminine.

The weird contrast of Chris-chan; he either found it in the hoard, at Goodwill for $1.50, or he paid the highest price possible for it at some retail shop.

Well, you got a point there. If he was showing skin, the villagers would throw rocks.

 

[Korilakkuma]

Does Chris still get his clothes from charity shops or something?

Because I don't think he'd look too bad if he put effort into how he looks but saying that I don't think he's ever done....

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

I'm pretty sure Chrissy still has his room upstairs just like the last 30 years but his playroom is the basement now. (until Barb starts to fill it up with more hoardings.)

What a werid statement I just typed. Sometimes I forget how surreal this shit actually is...

In a split level, the lower level is technically the basement, but it's more integrated with the rest of the house with real bedrooms, full-size windows, a family room, etc... so it doesn't actually feel like a basement.

That is an interesting question. Remined I knew someone who was a friend of my late mother's who lived in such a house, though theirs was configured slightly different where there was essentially four split levels. The kitchen/dining/living room were on one, the garage/laundry room on another, the basement being the lowest and the bedrooms/bathroom the very top.

That's a four level split, popular in the '50s and '60s. Horrible, impractical design with stairs everywhere.
Too bad Chris' house isn't a four level split, he could use the excercise!
