Here are my weekly picks:
A bun in the oven often calls for celebration, but a gun in the oven is just dangerous. A man suffered gunshot wounds after leaving his revolver in the broiler.
Don’t you hate it when the power goes out due to extreme zombie activity? The City of Lake Worth, Florida, sent out quite the alert, but thankfully there were no undead brain-eaters on the loose.
It’s safe to say most of us couldn’t wait to move out from our parents’ place and live independently. Not so for this 30-year-old man from New York. It took his parents five eviction notices and a court case to get him out of their house.
The “mushroom house” in Maryland is back on the market after an extensive remodel. If you’re a fun guy, you might want to check it out.
You wouldn’t be grumpy or dopey living in this house, which looks like it’s straight out of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

And if you do end up purchasing a tiny home, check out these tips from REALTOR.ca’s Living Room on how to maximize small spaces.
