More Stupider!!!
The IP has wanted to feature one of the area’s more stupider McMansions ever since it was “completed” about five years ago. That was way back when the Incredulous Pithecanthrope was the Gregarious Misanthrope; remember that?
This is one of those McMansions with ADD: Architectural Dysfunction Disorder. It can’t seem to decide what it wants to do or say or be, architecturally speaking. The small roundabout drive with the fountain and the palms and the mish-mash of bays, dormers, gables, and fenestration amounts to a design puke. Note the unfinished fencing that was supposed to be between those stone pillars. And oh, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. Check out the back of this place that overlooks a busy road:
One could call it a “Peeping Tom Special” with all those windows. WTF? No wonder this travesty has sat unsold for over five years. Would you want to live in a house where all the drivers on Briarcliff road can stare into your daughter’s bedroom? Again, WTF?
The bad news (good news to some) is that the Atlanta MSA’s real estate bubble looks like it’s being inflated again…the same old shit. New housing starts are up and The IP heard some developer on TV say he was building a new subdivision in Cobb County because he “had a gut feeling.” That’s what created this whole McMansion clusterfuck in the the first place.
Starting tomorrow, The IP is launching Heavy Equipment Equinox, a Springtime review of various road-building equipment, all of which is reconstructing the roads near The IP’s abode, and is parking directly across the street from the same:
The IP is also reconstructing his blog, getting rid of dead links and designing new features…stay tuned and…
Blog at ya later!!

Look, they can add one-way reflective coatings to the glass and they will have window treatments for the exposure. They’ll need to, as car headlights will be really annoying at night.
But really… for the mish-mash look they should add shutters, some won’t be symmetrical, but so what?
