Barndo sighting in the wild in the How to Make the Perfect Risotto episode of How To with John Wilson. You should watch it if you haven't seen it but should you decline to do so it's the guy with the souped up truck belching diesel exhaust - gets interviewed alongside his truck and right next to a barndo entertainment setup

all I could think about watching that was what happens when you don't realize the mailman is at your front door
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Wednesday, 10 March 2021 05:55 (three years ago) link
I mean, as c.a.d. implied, the mailman would have ample time to hop off.

!. That person needs to pay more in taxes.2. For when you don't need to be anywhere in a hurry because it takes 10 mins for the door to open.

Well, yeah, it's ugly AF, but not out of character for the area. Price is actually pretty reasonable. In my neighborhood, $1.1 M is a four-bedroom townhouse with a slate patio.

One lesson I've learned is if your first reaction to a feature is "Ooh, the cats will love this!" it will become one of the most useless areas of the house.

The oppressive blandness of that property would make being there at, say, dusk on a gloomy winter day feel unbearably suffocating. Imagine! It has all the sensibilities of a corporate office property (including the uninviting purgatory of a lawn that nobody will venture onto except to periodically mow; a stagnant arbitrarily framed backdrop for one to watch snow slowly accumulate and then melt over endless monotonous days and for nothing else) that was furnished in 2002 mixed with a dentist office waiting room in an middle class suburb (likely even complete with the echoes of never-ending HGTV episodes that follow such a strict template you would swear that a computer is merely randomizing the humanoids each time in an otherwise repeated artificial simulation). That's the general vibe I get from it.

I was listening to this podcast about the lumber industry/current lumber price spikes, and one of the things I learned is that lumber yards sell homebuilders pre-arranged "framing packages" of the various types of lumber you need to frame a house, and it made me think about how there's probably a strong economic incentive to build mcmansions, because the relative standardization cuts costs and simplifies things for the builders. At the same time, you'd think that these goliath national builders could have paid for better standard designs.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Wednesday, 28 April 2021 21:14 (three years ago) link
Well yeah.
― pplains, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 21:21 (three years ago) link
yeah, along the same lines i often think of the sears catalog houses people used to build, they're still standing all over the place and are generally pretty nice looking. but now you need to have at least 8 gables to look successful.
