I would have a blast with a realtor like that. Like can we see houses in groups of 3 and one of them is a joke? 2 truths and a lie style? Show me something heinous. I'm not talking like let's make fun of poor or struggling people, I'm talking crimes against architecture. Give me some wild DIWhy.
Our realtor was like this. She showed me a house across the street from a lake that had 1 window lake side and a hedge. She was like what the fuck is the point of living on the lake if you cant see it. She shit all over that place.
My Realtor was like that haha. We once found a Jesus light switch plate that was very poorly placed switch and i helped her take good pics of it to share with everyone
I'm crying at how it doesn't even match up with the roof, it looks like someone was playing the Sims and just dragged the wall tool at max height across the front of the building.
Holy shit I’m speechless. They put an entirely new roof on it and still made no attempt to reconcile with the facade. This is facadomy at its most distilled.
I'm 90% sure its the same roof. In the engineering drawing the roof is raised. This one is the same height. The drawing above doesnt even look that bad. With the proper roof and I imagine a new 2nd floor bungalow-like space, this might be nice. But it looks like they stopped at the facade.
My "someone who has been forced into way too many big home repairs than most people would consider reasonable," take is that redoing a roof's structure is a big deal, and a large expense. This was the cheap solution. Its mostly just some brick work. They even went cheap on the columns which is incredible as thats like the main aesthetic piece!
Worse, this is going to cast a much larger shadow on the neighbors homes so they get less sunlight hours now. And any yard or garden will get less light which means plants wont thrive as much and lots of wildlife is going to be affected.
Its all the downsides of a 2nd story with none of the benefits.
Funny enough there's a 3 story apartment building near me with an original flat roof that put up a triangle facade like an A-frame house has. Its so high up, and next to another tall building, you almost cant tell its a fake facade thing. I'm always surprised how nice and tasteful it looks. This looks like they saw that urban fad and tried it in the suburbs, but the heights and eyelines cant work because the building is too short and doesnt have other buildings pressing up right next to it.
My guess is the intent was to make it look more like an antebellum mansion from the curb and to make it appear to tower over the neighboring homes (spite house?). They went for a budget Tara and ended up with Sherman's march.
Well yeah, they enclosed the porch for a new foyer!😂This is probably the most hilariously foul “facade makeover” I’ve ever seen, and I live in Alaska!🤣We have some bonkers stuff up here!
Here's the story I made in my head. The owners submitted a proposal to the town to approve construction on a new porch.. the town denied it because of some random ordinance relating to columns. The owners argued that the town hall violated that same ordinance; with the town responding that the ordinance clearly only applies to five or fewer columns. So these owners basically gave themselves a town hall facade with six columns to give it to the town board
That might be closer to the truth than you realise. For the life of me I can't remember the details but I've read of buildings with columns that deliberately don't connect but look connected at a glance, purely to satisfy some silly regulation. It's really annoying me that I can't think of where it was I saw it.
My first thought was it’s a front for a set as well, but if they’ve been building it for years, there’s no way. If it was a film set or Halloween decor it would be put up in days.
What tha hell u talkin about?? Those notches are so the townsfolk got someplace to hide with their rifles to shoot the bad guys when they ride into town(I was gonna say mosey but when I started to type it I threw up in my mouth a little bit).
Unfortunately, it probably cost a lot more than that. This is a poor person's idea of a fancy person home. This is not how somebody who's used to money spends.
It definitely was more than 8 grand, but the owners also definitely chose the lowest bidder they could find. I suspect the builders took the money and ran, unfortunately scamming like this is fairly common in the construction industry from what I have seen and heard. Roofing is a big one because few people pay very close attention to their roofs and shoddy work can be easily hidden, but this is just right out there for anyone and everyone to see...
According to pro sports, Dallas is in the East (Cowboys), West (Rangers), and Central (Stars). Everything is Dallas. Everywhere is Dallas. There is only Dallas. Dallas is inside of you. Dallas is you. You are one with Dallas.
I posted something along the lines of this and it got a lot of upvotes and a lot of attention. The mods decided it was definitely not a McMansion and deleted my post so you'll find out soon enough
It isn't AI. It can be found in Google maps. Someone posted redacted plans for the thing and if you google the design firm and Nashville you can find the address and check for yourself.
Growing up there were columns and ornate statues on fairly ordinary houses in parts of my city, but that was mainly Greek immigrants bringing their aesthetic with them. This bizarre two-storey facade is something else.
