I think this has already been discussed, but I can’t seem to find it now. [This garage](http://cdn.wonderfulengineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/engineering-building-fails-2.jpg) is often shown as an ‘engineering mistake’ or ‘What were they _thinking?_’ funny picture. In reality, it’s just not finished, and there are pictures of it with the driveway installed.

Can someone point me to the thread I remember (if I remember correctly), or to a picture of the completed structure?
