    Judging from its location. Id say it's a training smoke house for firefighters.

    Well, I was going to point out the AC unit is outside the house, why not heat?

    Good suggestion on it being training

    I was thinking WTH myself, figuring it was some super rural location before clicking on your map link. Once i seen it was by a busy street/intersection it peaked my interest and i started looking around a bit. Saw the fire department next to it and thought bingo!

    Well that's the thing, down here folks aren't very conventional, so I just figured they were exercising their right to do things differently....
    It didn't help that I was driving 95mph when I saw it either......:whistle:

    My friends heat their shop like that. Their mommas stove is also outside. She lives in a trailer, so there is no room for the stove inside. It would probably get unbearably hot with it inside. Also no wood mess.

    So just run the flue in through the wall and then out the roof and they catch enough heat?

    What is going on with the valley on that roof? That is what I want to know. Something weird going on with the step downs on the foundation too.
