This is my neighborhood, the Ocean Partk district of Santa Monica, California, as it looked in 1905. Notice all the little houses that were used as beach cottages , used mostly just in the summer. They were called Shotgun houses because there were just 3 rooms, one behind anohter. The doors all aligned so that if you shot a gun thru the front door the bullet would go out the back door without hitting anything. I made a couple of models of shotgun houses and Photoshopped them in front of this old postcard. The hip-roofed building on the left and the building in the foreground on the right are still standing on Third Street. I live on Second Street, the next block just down the hill. The apartment building I live in now stands on the site of one of the cottages seen above on Second Street.

Three bay shotgun (large window in front replaces two former smaller windows) Yesterday we walked through the Shotgun House Tour. It was awesome to see how creative people can be with floorplans of a narrow rectangular house with no original hallways. Most of the show homes were four-bay (former doubles converted to singles, approx 12′ wide on each side) but a couple were three-bay homes (a single with a sidehall). (Sidenote: basically count the windows and doors across the front of the house to determine how many “bays.”) Photo taking was prohibited, but it inspired me to share photos of Shotgun floorplans that I have collected over the last few years. Most of these are doubles converted to singles, but one still has a small apartment remaining, similar to our floorplan. —– skip to the gallery of floorplans. —— Q: Why are these Shotgun floorplans interesting? Shotgun with 3 bedrooms and large Master/en suite A: Because there are so many constraints to changing the shotgun floorplan that it takes creativity and problem solving. Structural Prohibitions With doubles, typically the structural walls are the exterior walls and the center wall that divided the two units, which has implications for updating the floorplan. Structural changes usually requires stamped plans and a lot more money. To avoid major structural changes in renovating a double, people typically try to keep the center wall intact as much as possible, adding only openings for doorways in the center, structural wall. Obviously, this is a huge constraint on creativity for the floorplan. Look how the center wall is mostly intact in these images. Width Constraints Four bay, converted to single with foyer With each side being only approx 12′ wide, it’s tough to add a 4′ hallway, because that only leaves an 8′ wide room. For a small bedroom, that can be fine, but it is difficult to get a queen sized bed into an 8′ wide room. Anywhere a hallway is added, the remainder of that side will inherently be a small space. See how in the floorplan on the right, the hallways are added next to bathrooms so that the remaining width of the 12′ is usable? Window Constraints In original shotgun floorplans, the windows are centered on the exterior wall of each room. And in double shotguns, the windows are only on the exterior side of the house, because the interior wall is shared with the other unit. Which means that you have to carefully draw new walls so that rooms aren’t left without windows and, hopefully, so that the windows aren’t awkwardly placed into an extreme corner of your new room. Changing window placement = money. Shotgun Floor Plan Gallery
Manicotti piped with a ground beef filling, wrapped in bacon, and brushed with bbq sauce; smoked shotgun shells never tasted so good!
Smoked shotgun shells appetizer is a savory mix of ground beef, sausage, and cream cheese stuffed into manicotti shells, wrapped in bacon, and smoked.
If, for whatever reason, you cannot buy your .410g shells from a store, you may need to construct your own improvised .410 ammunition. The following document

Heerlijke shotgun shells met kruidig gehakt, mozzarella en spek, afgelakt met een heerlijke glaze.
This style has a great name, made up by the regular Joes who built and lived in these houses. Y'see, if you fired a shotgun through the front door, the bullet would pass clean through the house and out the back door. (If you opt out of basic upkeep, your shotgun house may pass clean through the "house" category and become a shotgun shack.)
my cousin Alice says that this house was built by her great-grandfather in Augusta, GA (2009)

Urban Combat Skills - Free download as PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. Urban combat skills depend on proper squad movement techniques. Soldiers must master movement like crossing open areas quickly while staying low and using smoke as cover. Techniques for moving parallel to buildings and past windows involve staying close to walls and below window level. When moving as a fire team, soldiers should keep distance and make abrupt movements between covered positions. Entering buildings requires minimizing exposure by avoiding doors and windows and making new entry points. Upper levels are preferred to clear from top down for tactical advantages. Ladders provide quick access but improvised ladders can be built if needed.
