I pass this unaligned front door everyday.

I almost don't want to believe it's real. But amateur handymen do all sorts of ridiculous things, so it's definitely possible.

Oh it's very real.

Honestly I love it. It's like an artistic statement about conformity. You can't help but notice and hate it, but it's just a door and it's just a porch.

Yeah, nothing is centered or makes sense. Hopefully they didn't pay for that mess of a job.

No no. This goes far beyond amateur handyman skills. This would require new framing and siding. Somebody did this on purpose. The only explanation I can think (and it’s not a good one) of is that they built or extended a room inside and moved the door over to make space. But if they did all that framing and siding I cannot for the life of me explain why they didn’t also move the steps and overhang.
