  1. Jesus I haven’t seen that many manholes in one place since Google introduced Safesearch by Default.

  2. I was about to make a spaghetti joke but I am just in awe at how many manholes there are. Who needs that many?

  3. Howdy neighbour ! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|slightly_smiling)

    I thought these manholes were temporary when those houses were being built. They really are shocking looking. They could have easily put paving in the lid to hide them if they wanted.

    It makes me wonder how slap dash the rest of the houses are.

    Sure thats great access should there be any issues. Wont stop them digging the whole place up multiple times though I bet.

  5. Can anyone make sense of this? Like, why would the drains need that much access? That first house has 6 (we can see) access points. 6? Srsly?

    The architect, developer and whoever signed off on this should be fucking ashamed of themselves. This is penny pinching at its worst, everything sub contracted and a looks grand from my house attitude.

    Just concrete the whole fucking lot of your not bothered or too cheap to recess the manhole covers for FFS. It would look way better.

    Sorry rant over. The actual build looks good in so far as is visible apart from the detailing but the detailing is what makes the difference.

    There’s rules about access at turns and joins I think, but this is done on the cheap, they could have been designed better and the could have been recessed and have paving in to match. I do know that they won’t get away with plastic covers on the driveway ones! 

  8. People with OCD melting down over those pictures ! Manholes all over the place, mixes of paving block and pattern etc.

    No care taken to cut in the manholes properly and replace the paving. The cages around the a\c units (or heat pumps ??) look terrible.

    It’s really spoiled what looked to have been a nice little development.

  9. It’s like it was designed by an early Gen AI imager, but one that’s been inexplicably trained almost exclusively with photos of manholes.

  10. This looks like the most boring mushroom trip ever.

    “Ahh I’m tellin yis lads, I was off my head, everywhere I looked was fuckin manholes!”

  11. Grand spot though,right across from Central!!
    You can leg it over whenever you need anything.
    There might even be a tunnel built under the house so you can stay dry…..
