The building inspector should be appalled. They should charge admission, wait til a line formed, let them all through at once only to find on the other end is a bunch of MAC users waiting to berate them with irrelevant reasons that mac is better. No turning back.

I'm surprised the tunnel didn't end at Moe's Tavern
"Hey, this isn't faux-dive. This is just a dive!"

OMG! i made out in the middle of that tunnel! To bad it's not there anymore! I would take all my dates there!

I started thinking about this... if there's a tunnel through the house then technically your not IN the house if you crawl through it... so therefore you can't charge admission (to the house). Bit like how we all have a tunnel through us that starts at the mouth and ends at the ass (so technically food passes outside the body)... Then suddenly I stopped thinking like that and thought instead... Get the garden hose running water through it and you got a nice water flume... Until the fat bastard with the Zune tattoo gets stuck in it!

The neighbors will bitch to the building inspector, who will find it in violation of zoning ordinances. Damn neighbors.
Pretty awesome work, though.
8. pahl - June 13, 2007 5:46 PM
its in houston, no zoning. :)

Bob, no one said the tunnel was "in" the house, it goes "through" the house.
10. Jab - June 13, 2007 6:33 PM
Looks like a black hole went through there.
Anyone have an links or info about this house?
11. Bruce - June 13, 2007 7:12 PM
Sweeeeeet, I live like a few blocks away from this house...
12. thejapanesegeek - June 13, 2007 7:14 PM

Hey dude...
You have a hole in your house...
14. george - June 13, 2007 8:15 PM
i stuck my dick through that
15. supercheese - June 13, 2007 9:05 PM
oops, excuse me
16. Smoke - June 13, 2007 9:21 PM
So, if I robbed the house from inside the tunnel, I'd technically still be outside of the house, thus freeing me from all guilt. Someone said it is in Houston? Where? This is my city!

Mul, that comment about the fat bastard w/ the zune tatoo getting stuck almost made me spit out the toothpaste I was using for like 45 seconds.
Funniest f***ing thing I've heard in 2 days.
18. RandomNigel - June 13, 2007 10:59 PM
With my luck I'd get a wikked splinter. =.=;

Reminds me of the Poltergeist house when it starts to destroy itself.
22. coolguy123 - June 14, 2007 3:00 AM
It was on Montrose right next to Texas Art Supply. [for Smoke]

25. SuperGreen420 - June 14, 2007 9:20 AM
OMG.
giggity giggity
it's like a science experiment on bending space/time gone wrong. Doc Brown probably did this. He opened up a portal, which while pushing him ito some other time, bends the space around it, thus the house was in the way and the wood panelling was in the shape it was. the portal did it.
26. MargeAggedon - June 14, 2007 9:26 AM
I love the detailed info.
So is this some kind of art installation? Was there an 'accident' at the lab? WTF?

Vern: Hey, Orvil!
Orvil: Hey, Vern!
Vern: I'm so psyched about our LAN party tonight, Orvil!
Orvil: Me too, Vern!
Vern: Hey, what's with the Mac, Orvil?
Orvil: Isn't this a Mac LAN, Vern?
Vern: Naw, man, PC! And Terrence brought a Linux box...
Orvil: Let's hook them up anyway, Vern!
Vern: Ya, Orvil, what could happen.
28. Jab - June 14, 2007 10:25 AM
Pastor Al! Welcome back!

T_T; I believe the house of leaves may just be real with the wallpaper and the hole in house combined. Now, all we need is an everspiraling staircase and a minotaur, and we're good.

Jim, you just gave me my first guffaw of the day. "there's some holes in this house, there's some holes in this house"!

I took a leak in there once.
33. kevjohn - June 14, 2007 4:08 PM
I saw this when I vacationed in Houston a couple years back. It is kind of disturbing when you drive past it unexpectedly.
The most shocking thing? I vacationed in Houston.
34. kirby - June 14, 2007 5:12 PM
this house was in houston and was torn down last year.

Wow.
You guys are really desperate for viewership around here to be putting unedited pictures of Paris Hilton's Hoo Haa on your front page.

there's gotta be a better way to get inside Malkovich.
37. Suzanna - June 15, 2007 2:35 PM
It was actually down the street from my house. The Art Institute bought this house they were going to demolish anyway, so they allowed an artist to mess with it. It's gone now.
38. Stacia - June 17, 2007 2:08 AM
I remember when we went to check it out we didn't notice the sign about NOT crawling thru it til after we had already crawled through it. Glad I washed my hands after... It was a tight squeeze at the end.
39. ThingsFallApart - June 17, 2007 9:17 AM
This house is dented.

he divided by zero.
47. mardis - June 22, 2007 4:17 PM
Super cool! Someone got a picture of this. I used to drive by it everyday on Montrose Blvd in Houston. While the pictures are nice, they don't do the actual "sculpture" justice!
Unfortunately, it was a temp project. The local artist community knew they were going to tear the house down so they turned it into a art project. It lasted about 6 months, maybe(?).
To the Houston community's credit... and so very unlike Houston... they built another artist workspace / building there that is actually pretty well designed.

Does the event horizon end at the property line??
49. BlightedArt - June 24, 2007 7:06 PM
I bet someone just accidentally tore a hole into the blueprints.
Then hilarity ensued.
50. Collins1990 - June 26, 2007 5:31 AM
Wow. This is old.
51. maoqiang - July 7, 2007 12:33 AM
Oh, yes, there is a hole. But i see something that not hole. I am not sure who did it. Haha, but really, it is an exciting thing.
But in China, I think that it is not suitable. haha.
