number 10 president lyndon b johnson shower when lyndon b johnson moved into
the white house he ordered a special shower to be placed inside the White
House the White House promised and five years rushing on the shower adding more
and more nozzles and changing the water pressure to fit the president's needs
the president's to me he wanted a shower that would give him pleasure while
showering and the most important nozzles were aimed straight at his *** jumbo
yes peed mid named at himself and his rear the shower was later removed when
Richard Nixon became president he didn't want it number nine the White House Zoo
nowadays we usually just see various races of dogs in the president's
entourage at the White House but that hasn't always been the case from sheet
running the White House garden to not one but two alligators have a free reign
of the house during president who this time in the house there's also been a
Mockingbird flying around the halls of the White House proud owner President
Jefferson President John Q Adams also had an alligator in the White House but
at least that one was contained in one of the bathrooms number eight Air Force
one the famous airplane Air Force One is actually not one plane it is simply the
traffic control callsign for a plane carrying the president currently there
are two identical highly modified versions of the president's plane and
it's quite common that they use both planes when they travel with the
president so that potential attackers won't know which plane contains the
president will be plane carrying the vice president is known as Air Force two
since 1958 all Air Force Ones have been huge Boeing's and it looks like the
future will look the same as the Air Force announced in 2015 that the Boeing
747 - eight will be the next presidential aircraft oh and of course
it comes with its own operating room own defense system against missiles a body
that can withstand a nuclear explosion on the ground and armored windows
nothing fancy number seven the White House hauntings the White House is
believed to be haunted by ghosts in both Abraham Lincoln and his son
Willy are said to be haunting Lincoln's old bedroom when Winston Churchill
visited the White House he stayed in the Lincoln Bedroom you saw the ghost he
said that he would never return to the White House again he did return but he
refused to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom again Thomas Jefferson is said to play
violin at The Oval Office William Henry Harrison the first president who died
here is believed to have accommodated himself up in the White House attic and
as even also been sightings of an unknown dead British soldier who walked
the garden with a torch number six secret tunnels the White
House tunnel system has been a well-kept secret stretching over several states
everything hasn't been revealed but since President Obama took over as
president more parts of the White House tunnel system and bunkers has been outed
to the public one of the more famous bunkers is the presidential emergency
duration center in the event of an emergency the president travels down six
storeys beneath the White House in an elevator located behind multiple volts
like doors with biometric access systems the tunnels connect the White House by
metros to the Eisenhower executive office building next door the new
executive office building a bunker under the Naval Observatory B bunker under the
Blair House the State Department Pentagon the US Capitol and to numerous
other federal buildings in between plans are to extend the White House tunnel so
that the president can also stop by the CIA Mount weather and Camp David
if you won't see without setting a foot outside all tunnel pictures of the
tunnels with the metro station only exist on the White House website so I
have to go with some different ones number five indoor pool the White House
used to have an indoor pool in addition to the outside pool President Franklin D
Roosevelt had a pool built inside the White House he needed it for therapy as
he suffered from polio the pool was located between the main White House and
the rest wing the pool does however not exist today as president nixon covered
it up and made the room into a press briefing room the President Nixon also
remove the special shower simply assume that you might have been afraid of water
or was he just a party pooper or pool pictures of the actual pool only exists
on the White House web site number four Security's the great parts of the
security features are a secret because of security reasons however we do know
that the fence surrounding the White House is about two meters tall and there
are plans to make it even higher Secret Service men and women protect the
grounds ready to move in or someone getting too close for these patrols
outside of the fence around the clock and is in direct contact with the Secret
Service the White House has its own restricted airspace armed snipers on top
of surrounding buildings and most likely a ton of senses and detectors around it
between windows are bulletproof and have an anti bugging system no eavesdropping
allowed of course as we mentioned before there are secret tunnels where the
president can hide in case of an attack with all the security both known and
unknown you might think it's impossible to get in it's actually not there has
been quite a few security breaches through the years from not so uncommon
safes jumpers to a helicopter landing on the White House lawn if you ever feel
the need to break in keep in mind though that the Secret Service carry
semi-automatic pistols shotguns and machine guns and describers can hit
their target spot on from a thousand yards that's what a kilometer away you
know what to just stay on the safe side of the fence
number three condemned but the White House was almost condemned at one point
since it was in such a poor state in 1948 President Harry Truman and his
family and staff were forced Senate across the street from the White House
for more than three years as the White House was deemed unsafe to live in this
was shortly after the Truman balcony was completed a piano almost went through
the floor revealing that the floorboards were rotten the ceiling had dropped 46
centimeters or 18 inches the walls were cave
and not too long after investigators found that the whole house would
collapse unless something was done a massive renovation started and the whole
white house was stripped of its interior even though the work wasn't completed
done the first family could move in again in 1952 as the white house was
considered safe to living again and President Truman got to enjoy his
balcony number two it's been on fire twice the D White House has been on fire
a few times the first time was when the United Kingdom or UK attacked Washington
DC during the War of 1812 the British said the White House on fire even added
feel to it to ensure that it would keep on burning the attack on Washington DC
only lasted about one day has a giant thunderstorm hit the city making the
British leave and head for their boats the White House was saved reconstructed
and could be moved into a few years later again the second time was an
electrical fire that broke out in the west wing causing mostly smoke and water
damage to the building and its interior however at the time the White House
didn't even have insurance whoops so they'd have to bow down to Congress
and get money from them in order to make repairs make sure you check your
insurance papers now guy number one the house James harbach's
an Irish architect was the one who drew the original White House that was
finished in the 1780 it's made out of sandstone quarry by the Slade the cost
two hundred and thirty two thousand three hundred and seventy two dollars
nowadays though it's estimated to be worth around 320 million dollars talk
about value including its location was chosen by George Washington the first
ever president but he actually never lived in it he died before the federal
government moved from Philadelphia to Washington he is the only president
who's never lived in the White House Theodore Roosevelt was the president has
officially gave the White House its laid before it was brought the White House it
will simply refer to as the presidential residence or the Executive Mansion it
has been remodeled several times adding structures and additional rooms
each president also get to choose which interior should be in the Oval Office

certified bathrooms and six floors it includes the tools a tennis court a
bowling alley a small cinema room a game room a flower shop a carpenter shops a
ghost practice green a gym and the jogging track follow this up with your
own personal dentist a medical team and your own beekeeper in case you want to
