Thinnest House In The World... Your Joking, Right?



We wish we were.  At first glance it looks as if a space capsule has landed smack dab in the middle of two buildings.  A polish man by the name of Jakub Szczesny wants to have the "skinny house" built between two big buildings in downtown Warsaw.  He says that the house will have more than enough space for working and while still maintain a homely environment.  Because of the limited space Szczesny says he can raise the stairs on the bottom floor to create more surface area in the living room.  The width of the residence will only be approximately 4 feet wide, at most.  The home is being built for Etgar Keret, a Polish writer.  Szczesny says that the modern home will bring creativity to ones self being.  Some of the staff at RMC think it'll bring insanity to ones mind over time.  But hey, look at the bright side, it's sure is going to bring in fame and not to mention easy on his wallet too.


Be sure to leaving a Review on Rate My Contractor about work you've just had completed on your house.  If you need an estimate(s), we can help with that too. Fill out the Request A Quote form and find you a certified contractor in your area.  


Leave a comment below to tell us what you think about the thinnest house in the world.  Here's a question, How long do you think you could live in a house like this, and how many (at the most) people could you live with?  This question is based on leaving the house on a regular basis.

Summer Fun-ness

Good Morning To All!

This is John writing from the RMC office.  Everyone doing awesome?  The summer vacation season is more than half way over but that doesn't mean you still can't have fun.  If you've missed out on your favorite destination or forgot to book that concert of the year their are still a ton of things to do.  We've all been super busy this season and now is the time to get out and do something while it's not to late.  The best part, it doesn't have to be expensive.  Some ideas include:  
  1. Going to the beach on the weekend to catch some sun.
  2. No Beach? No worries, go to the river or the lake and chill out with some friends.
  3. Check out the local farmers market in your home town.
  4. If you city offers it, go see a concert in the park, most of the time they're free!
  5. Do a weekend of camping.  
All of the above ideas are really fun.  Bring a couple of friends of family to make it enjoyable.  

The RMC team is going to a baseball game this Thursday.  Hopefully our home team wins.  If you have any other great ideas you'd like to share be sure to post/comment on them below.  Hope everyone has a great day, and be sure to rate your contractor at www.ratemycontractor.com
