NFSWednesday: I’m Going to Have to See a Building Permit, Sir

Jan. 19, 2011

What is this? I’m thinking Photoshop, not carpentry, but I want it to be real. Let’s just all concentrate really hard on it being real and maybe that will make it happen.

I would think Burning Man, but for the trees. Maybe it’s from the most awesome summer camp ever. Or is it in the backyard of the Keep at King’s Landing? I ask because I see a certain similarity in style:

But, you know, out of wood instead of the swords of my vanquished enemies. And for reading comic books in, not ruling with an iron fist. And maybe with a termite problem. Other than that, I can scarce tell them apart.

Via Mild Amusements (which is occasionally NSFW)

Loveliest comment, by Rockledge: I like the “No Smoking” sign. Yah think?

Anyone Can Use HDR, But Not Everyone Should

funny real estate - I'll See Your Saggy Wallpaper and Raise You a Hypnotic Window!

You know that phase every eight-year-old child (and 16-year-old Pink Floyd fan) goes through where they wonder if what they see is the same as what you see? I thought I’d outgrown it, but now I’m wondering if there are people who see the world like this every single day.

Cozy, Secure, and Soundproof

funny real estate - Cozy, Secure and Soundproof

And here? Here we see the room where I keep my recipe for non-trans-fat Twinkies, waiting for an acceptable offer from Hostess. Some day I will become fantastically wealthy, clutching a yellow sponge cake in one hand and a canister of asbestos spray-on insulation in the other… oops. I’ve already said too much.

Loveliest comment, by Vivian: I like that the listing has “built-in safe” as one of the amenities. They don’t mention that the “safe” is probably doubling as one of the bedrooms.. so it’s more of a “built-out safe.”

Guest Post by Lynn

I ran across this listing in my quest to find a new home. I like a project but this might just be too much to take on. The home is located in Nashville, TN.

The word “dated” does not do justice to what is going on here. It is like these people had a checklist of decorating trends from the late 60s/early 70s:

green and gold shag carpet? Check

reflective and/or patterned wallpaper? Check

light fixtures on chains? Check

sunken tub? Check

sunken living room? Check

carpeted platform for bed? Check

yellow in every place imaginable? Check

I have to hand it to the listing agent, though. They tried to put a positive spin on things, “WOW! Have you ever seen a home like this? Come on in and continue to be amazed.”

Loveliest comment, by Land of shimp: You have to admire their commitment to the shag, every single one of those stairs is carpeted. Sweet holy Moses, vacuuming that would be taking your life into your own hands.

Get your affairs in order, it’s time to vacuum the stairs.
