did they gouge a triangular divot into the wall just so that they could extend what looks like a desk nook into the middle of the kitchen?

why does it stop about 6'' from the ceiling though?
why does the molding go straight over the gap?

So back in 2005 I started lurking on SA and reading the front page posts. And then I read through much of the back catalog. There was an early series of articles where two of the editors (one was EPG, IIRC) would take stills from porn and make up titles for their source films.

And I remember one of the titles they came up with was like: Home Movies 8: Your Dad Watches Your Mom Crap on a Tarp and that’s all I can think of wrt this.

Does each unnecessary roof nubbin and each additional style of window count?

PRADA SLUT
Mar 14, 2006

Inexperienced,
heartless,
but even so
from this photo alone:



- masses out of proportion
- stuck on decals, bonus points for the one above the garage that doesn't even align with anything
- three different window styles
- three different moulding styles
- two story entrance
- 5(6?) different rooflines
- seemingly non-euclidian angles of the primary mass
- weird two-tiered roofline on the left
- windows not centered vertically on the right
- single window on the garage doesn't balance the empty space the windows on the rest of the front seem to indicate requiring (would need another window on the garage)
- window on the left is too big for that wall, also sits way too high (imagine a small window on top and a long window on bottom instead)
- corner window looks dumb and doesn't line up with the window below it (or the spacing above it), especially with moulding slicing right through it
- windows not balancing masses
- more garage than house
- "landscaping" bushes on the side
- front columns are way too thick (and dumb looking anyway), don't gives the appearance of structurally necessity which makes them look out of place
- all the 'accessories' are cheap vinyl

like half of these are window issues, but even if you just put them all under 'windows all hosed', theres still a dozen things wrong, and we're just looking at a single picture of the front, which is supposed to be 'the picture' the realtor uses


verdict: textbook McMansion, but one of those that's designed from the inside out, where people just have this ideas of rooms with ~an aesthetic~ and then the outside of the house has all sorts of wonky poo poo all over the exterior to make it 'work'. like im sure those window choices were strictly based on where they're positioned on the inside of the house, with little regard to the overall architecture


imagine this place if they cut out the car hole, straightened the left side so the front face is flat, extended the roofline out so it's one mass instead of a two-tiered thing, got rid of the front column entryway poo poo, and did like two stacked windows on each side of the front instead.

They aren't mismatched. That's a zero attention to detail joe homeowner move: the tiles have an orientation. You can put them all the same direction or make a pattern, but randomly slapping them on the floor ends up looking like this.

Hi thread, this is late, but dried latex paint on trim edges can be removed by saturating a rag in denatured alcohol, and using a tool like a 5 in 1 to get the wet rag in position. It takes some elbow grease and patience, but it will work. Thanks for reading my post

The stacks in the main library at my alma mater were refurbished with glass floors in the very early 70s for the sake of economizing ambient light (they’re in a 150 year old dark-rear end building) and they immediately had to be sandblasted a year or two after installation because the school became co-Ed and began admitting women. They’re translucent but not as transparent as they apparently originally were.

How many people take a false first step expecting a rise there? I know I would.

I hate stairs and know they will kill me some day. I refuse to go down them without having a hand on a railing.

Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy


I have to post the atrium / stairwell at my building. It's all open staircase without risers and like vertical thin cable strands and a minimal metal handrailing. The stone tile floor below is like black quartz tile with the stainless steel insert moulding so it conflicts with the vertical cabling and immediately throws up some bad optical illusions / vertigo.

I dont normally have a problem with vertigo or heights too badly and quite often if I walk up to that staircase too fast I feel like I am about to fall even though I'm a few feet away.
