L@@K! Photos from Real Estate Listings (see remarks)

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

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.

If there's one thing that makes worse sense than a toilet set into carpet...

Enjoy summer bonfires in your own fire pit...

Or on Samhain! Whatever fits your lifestyle.

who carpets a dungeon smh

I can't imagine the owner of that house looking like anything else except the bassist from Korn in the Falling Away From Me music video.

You'd think a vampire would go easy on the mirrors.

as it happens, the realtor will not confirm the owner is a vampire

a vampire wouldn't have mirrors over the bed, what would be the point?

to easily check if they're lying on their dog

shit happens

afraid to ask what those additions on the foot of the bed are for.

Something looks missing from bedpo-

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.

so you're saying we need to carpet bomb the whole area? makes sense.

Totally read that as Barry Hogan at first and was like, "is this where all the ATP band fees went????"

so you're saying we need to carpet bomb the whole area? makes sense.

I'm on board with that plan, but can we wait till he moves there?

Jesus will still got almost two more years of the Hoog.

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.

he got it for like 250k below asking, i'm sure for very innocent reasons (no i won't give him the benefit of the doubt because i fucking hate him). there are more photos here. so many carpets! https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3415-Timberlake-Farm-Rd-Davidsonville-MD-21035/117513358_zpid/?

Suddenly realizing how some of these new fangled "McMansions" that should be going out of style at any moment now ... are getting to be about 30-35 years old.

They're not going to age well.

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 hate those little cocktail sinks that are popping up in the living areas.

i think "oppressive blandness 2024" is larry hogan's presidential campaign slogan

the uninviting purgatory of a lawn that nobody will venture onto except to periodically mow

They have people for that

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.

Well yeah.

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.
