One thing about busy inner-city exploration; there may be a lot more eyes around, but there sure are more parking options. So much easier to blend in! This pic actually makes the house look decently sized. Let's get a bit closer....

There... is it really a house? In all seriousness, my brother recently built a shed in his backyard bigger than this.

No signs of burnt walls, but a gooey brown residue covering the ceiling over the stove seemed to hint that there was some kind of a grease fire here. Perhaps the odor damage was what ultimately caused the owner to leave.

A very nice left-over collection: and fittingly enough for this week (mid-March 2013), guess what was lying right on top of the pile?....

Careful! This green blind may be all that separates you from the violent vigilante mob of Port Colborne spotting you and attacking you for trespassing.

This tiny house seems fit for little more than a leprechaun, or a hobbit, or maybe the Wizard of Oz. And perhaps this is his magic curtain! Whatever could be behind it?

Yes, you know I had to.

So basically, that's it. I was just getting ready to leave the place and sneak my way out when I spotted one last cupboard door that I had not opened. Hoping for another leftover, I pulled the handle...

Welcome to the smallest and most narrow staircase EVER! I could not believe this tiny box of a house could have a 2nd level. I dislike "selfies", but had to take this to stress the ridiculous size. And I'm not big!
