The McMansions have been criticized for their big boxy look, but hey, they are great if you need storage:

  1. Your title reminded me of the Carlin “stuff” bit

  2. “Looks like Boise State to me.” -JtR

    Ha! Was that a shout out to me, Jim?

  3. “If you need a hundred bedrooms….”

    LOL….hilarious.

    For a million dollars, the interior is a tragedy. Cheap carpets, cheap cabinets, decal in the shower!?!? seriously!? Couple that with the Bed, Bath, and BEYOOOOOOOOOOND!!!! white elephant Christmas gift soap dispenser. Painting and replacing the flooring in that much square footage really is a significant hurdle when the starting price is 1 mil.

    gonna paint the whole town gray
    whether it’s a night in Paris
    or a Fresno matinee
    The home of the brave
    and the land of the free
    where the less you know
    the better off you’ll be”

    RIP WZ, the excitable boy

  6. What a pity. We looked at a few of these when they were new and again a couple of years ago. There are some very lovely homes in this small neighborhood (I think there were only 15-20 by this builder), but this is not one of them.

  7. Hey! Wait a minute! Isn’t this what they call, “rooftop views”?

    Maybe I’ve been asleep but this is the first time I’ve heard the term “warehouse” homes. How appropriate!

  8. Hey Jim,

    Had a fiberglass in-the-ground pool growing up — they’re actually quite nice. Not only is the smooth surface easy on the body, algae doesn’t stick; you don’t have to use anywhere near as much chemicals in them.
