This gutter pipe leading half the rainwater from the roof to this deck is just asking for trouble… why not extend it just a bit?

EDIT: oh no it’s even worse, if you follow the roof further up where the wall is, there is another pipe from another roof section collecting water directing it to the deck, LOL.

I do love a roof terrace but given this photo got posted on Lemmy I suspect it may be overlooked by a very affordable Airbnb.

This was posted in a memes community so I'm looking for anything funny about it but I just can't see it.

You are not alone and just in case I'm not west european

[grue@lemmy.world]

To be fair, if you look further down the picture it comes straight out a scupper.

But yeah, there's no real good reason all that extra water has to run across the porch floor when it could be piped across it instead.

If you don't die on the weirdly shaped & unevenly twisted stairs to get there.

(That's just how old non-glamorous tiny city centres were built - the interiors are usually just as charming & unusual if upkept.)

What's the joke ?

[passerby6497@lemmy.world]

Why does the top roof just dump the downspout onto the flat roof below it? I would think it would be better to just pipe the upper spout into another gutter/downspout and not give water the chance to pool on that roof/floor bit.

[pigup@lemmy.world]

There's no joke. It's just people imagining themselves in that situation. The kids would call this a "mood."

[aqarius@lemmy.world]

Frankly, it looks like both gutters are an aftermarket addition, which kinda makes sense for an old enough building. And if each individual unit is doing its own drainage work, the temptation to kludge it is real.

[papalonian@lemmy.world]

I think they were assuming this kind of setting is typical for you.

I'm a big dumb American, we don't have buildings like this, but every time I go for a coffee and a smoke, I wish it was in a nice little cozy spot like that.

Also if the slang "hit different" isn't commonplace it's the kids' way of saying "would be extra nice"

We need a geoguesser

Shit, mate. It's literally my dream.

[cethin@lemmy.zip]

There is another pipe directly after it to let it run off, as well as let any water that falls on the terrace run off. I'm assuming it has a slight slope to the bottom right, where the other downspout is.

Also if the slang “hit different” isn’t commonplace it’s the kids’ way of saying “would be extra nice”

I think it means that there's a particular mood that would come from this location in particular, not that it would just be better.

[mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca]

because it's good enough

yes, it could be less messy if it were routed directly into the next. but does it matter? are they sitting out there in the rain in the first place?

why use big material when few material do trick

[mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca]

the OP is saying it's a nice atmosphere/location to relax

[breecher@sh.itjust.works]

Pretty sure they have made a slight canal in the tiles, which leads the water straight to the next downspout.

[affenlehrer@feddit.org]

Where are the geoguessers when you need them?!

[swelter_spark@reddthat.com]

I'm happy sitting out on my carport with the woods around us and listening to the birds sing.
