I spent almost 20 years in the Fire/Rescue field. I look at these pictures and am reminded of why I was so busy with so many calls for so many years. It's like the guy who helped his neighbor remove the hornet's nest from the neighbor's attic. With a propane torch. I can guarantee that all of the hornets were dead after we extinguished the fire that burned the roof off the house.

The first one reminds me of when I visited amsterdam. I noticed that all the buildings seemed to 'lean' toward the street. I asked my friend and guide if he knew what that was all about.

The answer was characteristically Dutch. In order to maximize the square footage of very small parcels, most houses have quite narrow stairwells. Not exactly optimal for lugging large furniture up to the third floor. The solution? Lean the building forward. A pulley system is rigged to the roof, to hoist large items from the ground, to upper floors. Since the façade is not perfectly vertical, there is more clearance when hoisting, and that family heirloom chaise longe doesn't get scratched up against your shutters.

Brilliant. I absolutely adore the Dutch.
