0:08 foliage count stankus is that you it's

0:11 me and we are on the corner of 7th

0:15 Street and Gladis Avenue and what town

0:18 are we in right now LBC in California

0:20 Long Beach Long Beach and even though

0:23 you do not see a beach rest assured

0:25 there is a beach within driving distance

0:27 anyway or probably walking distance

0:30 and we're just out exploring some houses

0:33 we were actually looking for some other

0:34 houses but we just so happened to

0:36 stumble upon this particular topic for

0:39 this daily

0:40 Vlog something that is actually

0:42 mentioned in the Guinness Book of World

0:44 Records and in Ripley Believe It or Not

0:47 have both documented some people say it

0:50 is the world's smallest skinniest and

0:55 some people say it is in the US OFA the

0:58 Americas skinniest SK house house ever

1:02 and it actually is located right over

1:05 here the world's or americ americ

1:09 Americans us OFA skinniest let's just

1:12 say it's the world's skinniest house

1:15 people can skinniest the world's okay

1:18 scratch what I just said it's the

1:19 world's skinniest house and it just so

1:22 happens to be directly in front of us

1:26 right here

1:39 documented at being less than 10 ft wide

1:39 in fact this was actually placed as a

1:41 bet in 1932 the gentleman who actually

1:44 built this house place to bet with his

1:48 friend kind of like if me and you were

1:49 placing bets yes I would probably not

1:51 place a bet that I could build a house

1:53 that was skinny that would actually fit

1:55 on a 10t piece of land I would place a

1:58 different type of but basically like

2:01 we're friends so in 1932 I believe his

2:05 name was Drummond Rond Nelson Nelson

2:07 rumm Nelson rum thinking Mr Drummond

2:10 from the TV show what was that not facts

2:12 alive Different Strokes Different

2:14 Strokes for different folks right and

2:17 this folk Nelson Rond wanted to build a

2:20 house the world's skinniest house right

2:25 here underneath this bird

2:27 feeder what kind of birds are those feed

2:30 hummingbirds that is a hummingbird you

2:32 are actually a self-proclaimed offici

2:33 anado of feeding hummingbirds as well

2:36 right we have them all over my my yard

2:38 they're all over your yard which is

2:40 probably a Southern California thing

2:42 it's a big thing here yeah and what else

2:43 is in Southern California then this the

2:47 world's skinniest house that is a

2:51 haven't done the intro yet it's my

2:52 second channel daily blog channel it's

2:54 the daily woo world's skinniest house

2:59 Edition we're walking in the middle of

3:00 the road I did not okay look both ways

3:02 luckily I have you here to protect me I

3:05 was I wasn't paying attention so so the

3:07 bet we would place would be can you

3:08 cross the road without actually getting

3:10 struck by a vehicle it's very busy over

3:13 here there really is no traffic on this

3:16 thorough which you think this would be

3:18 very popular because this is a historic

3:22 location the world's skinniest house and

3:25 it's interesting because the house

3:27 itself is actually skinnier than the

3:30 tree limbs it is are and we parked right

3:34 down the road and as we were walking up

3:36 I thought it was going to be on the

3:37 other side and what did you say to me I

3:39 said isn't that the house man and I said

3:41 there's no way that's the house I didn't

3:42 even look at the house I just assumed

3:45 that it was going to be on the main drag

3:47 the main thorough Fair Seventh Street

3:49 this is correct right Seventh Street

3:51 seventh

3:52 street but that's it the world's

3:54 skinniest house and it has a Weather

3:56 Vein right up there with a dog all right

3:59 let's get up close and show a closer

4:02 view and somebody actually resides here

4:04 so the gentleman who placed the bet that

4:06 he could not build a residential house

4:08 that was actually

4:10 inhabitable to his friend won the BET

4:12 what do you think the BET was what do

4:14 you think he won monetary gains or just

4:16 for posterity perhaps was like $100

4:19 right $100 he won $100 yes 708 and look

4:25 like there used to be some sort of a

4:27 flag dangling there maybe the flag was

4:31 actually documenting and stating the

4:33 fact that this was the world's skinniest

4:35 house documented in books and on the

4:39 interwebs I would actually trust books

4:42 more than I would trust the interwebs

4:43 because sometimes the interwebs do not

4:45 actually feed you factual information

4:47 and that little window up there is

4:49 actually open you got to wonder if

4:51 there's like a a creature there a baby

4:54 gnome living in there a baby gnome up in

4:56 the top of the skinniest this is how

4:59 Urban Legends and lies get started count

5:02 SAS because you are saying that there is

5:05 a baby gnome and the TP look at these

5:08 Christmas lights here they're

5:10 celebrating the Christmas season way

5:12 ahead of schedule here at the

5:14 world's skinniest house so that's the

5:18 front view maybe we should walk around

5:20 the back and see if there is a a cool

5:22 alley side view from the back side so

5:26 very interesting right here on this main

5:29 road

5:30 7th Street there's actually an apartment

5:33 complex up here that I thought is where

5:35 the world's skinniest house was next to

5:38 but it's actually on that road off of

5:40 the beaten path if you

5:43 will see if there's a back in maybe

5:45 there's a back door entrance we can see

5:48 maybe if there is a back door gnome oh

5:51 my

5:53 jeez I hope there's not a back sounds

5:55 like a very unusual film The Back Door

5:58 gnome

6:00 whoa where is it oh it's blocked by this

6:03 so actually it's kind of like concealed

6:05 you see a tiny chair up there there's a

6:07 tiny chair and there's like a little

6:10 pipe for the chimney he slides down it

6:13 when he goes to get his victims at night

6:15 y his Vic The Gnome victims he climbs

6:18 out of there and slithers down that

6:21 right there it is very well concealed

6:23 and look at the top yeah you know what

6:25 it's got a little patio it's got a

6:26 little patio balcony area so I wonder if

6:30 the gnome who resides in there is a

6:33 skinny gnome or a big gnome it' be

6:36 ironic if he was actually 10t wide might

6:38 and he was living inside a 10ft

6:41 skinny house very very interesting so

6:46 that's about it very exciting we did not

6:48 plan on seeing this today we had we were

6:50 actually searching for other homes which

6:52 will not give a spoiler alert because we

6:54 will probably find them for another

6:56 future Vlog or a video so we do not want

6:58 to give away

7:00 we do not want to give away what we

7:02 actually were hunting down originally

7:04 but we just so happened to realize that

7:06 we were near the world's skinniest house

7:08 so we had to document that we had to

7:10 film that for today's Vlog check out

8:13 filled quietness as we end this Vlog at

8:16 the world's

8:29 couple guinnesses in his day the big 10t

8:32 wide gnome that lives in the skinny

8:34 house has been drinking some guinnesses

8:44 weird gnome you're a weird gnome that

8:47 lives in the skinny house all right

8:48 moment of quietness like I promised

8:50 starts
