* '''Deconstructed''': The unusual geometry causes [[RealityEnsues crippling problems due to real physics making it quite uncomfortable]]. The mansion is a few acres with only a single usually closed door for ventilation and effectively perfect air, moisture, and temperature tight walls everywhere except for where the 'outer walls' correspond to plastic outer walls. Around the door is powerfully drafty and everywhere else is incredibly stuffy.

** The Portaloo's inner and outer dimensions exactly match despite the walls appearing to have thickness. It is just enough to fit a closed copy of another one of identical size and close the door.
