More here. Sorry, but today is Wednesday and this house is Not For Sale (largely because it’s hell to get a mortgage on a prototype).

Happy Not For Sale Wednesday! And maybe it’s just as well that this gorgeous Chilean house — or rather, house with a gorgeous Chilean view — is Not For Sale, as I would be tempted to buy it and, as far as I can tell from the architect’s website, it’s designed to erode.
I have enough problems keeping the moss of my roof (last week my neighbor offered me a loan of his power washer, as the condition of my roof pained him). What could I do with a house that embodies the “very crude reality of the temporal condition of architecture”?
Nuthin’, that’s what. So I leave it to someone else, someone who hasn’t been living with unpainted drywall patches for four years.

Click on the link. Do it! CLICK ON THE LINK! For it is glorious. Photos worthy of an Australian listing… and, come to think of it, nary a Crayola shower to be seen, which makes me a little suspicious. Do we really know that this is in Norway? No, we do not, not until my ship comes in and I get to start doing field visits.
Do you think it’s all in excellent condition, or does the wallpaper smell of cigarette smoke? Oh I don’t care, I’m moving in immediately.
But wait. I just read the listing. My Norwegian is a bit rusty, so I used one of those webpage translatey thingies. According to it, the basement contains “Gang, laundry / boiler room, wc, storage rooms, barns, and snekkerbod vedbod.” Is that good? That doesn’t sound good. A street gang boiling laundry in a barn in the basement is bad enough, but throw in a snekkerbod vedbod and I’m pretty certain my mortgage company isn’t going to go along with my Move the Lovely Listing HQ to Norway! plan.

For those who thought that last week’s hippie campers were a little too lacking in plumbing and such I present this vehicular house, which, oddly, appears to not have a garage.
The shock absorbers make it perfect for people living in earthquake-prone areas, and the ridiculousness makes certain you’ll never take yourself too seriously. Come on, it’s Monday morning, you’re heading out the door to work — and you lock your front door by pressing a key fob and hearing it go beep? That’s excellent.
It isn’t even that odd, really. If a minivan can be advertising itself as a place to take a nap, why shouldn’t a house be… a place… for driving… uh… no, I’ve lost even myself. I’ll just point out that the house is located a mere 400 miles — that’s 1,489,501 cubits if you’re European and prefer metric — from the Nürburgring. You wouldn’t even have to wake the kids up before the road trip started; just start the house’s engine, tootle down the A1, and you’ll have your house racing around the North Loop by lunch.
Found by: Lynn. More here. The bit about the key fob and the beep might just be wishful thinking on my part.
Loveliest comment, by Stuart: “Beige one!” *slug!*
“Knock it off, Gerda, I’m serious.”
The craziest thing? These were taken on the same day.
Good Lord, I want this house. Yes, my husband’s commute to downtown Seattle will be a bit rough, and my kids are in for hella long schoolbus rides. But I DON’T CARE because LOOK AT IT JUST LOOK AT IT. I WILL NEVER HAVE TO GO ON DANDELION PATROL AGAIN.

Loveliest comment, by Stuart: If you can deal with piles of snow in winter and hordes of orcs in spring, this place is for you.
Actually I think this is… awesome? Horrible? I just can’t decide. Usually I’m all, “Embrace your passion! Make your house what you want it to be, not what the shelter blogs want it to be!” but this is challenging my open-mindedness.
On one hand: those are some happy cats.
On the other hand: that many cats means a whole lot of smelly litter boxes (I don’t care how often you clean them, they always smell) and a whole lot of smelly cat food.
On the petting hand: HAPPY CATS. And happy cat owners. So lots of happiness. And happiness is good, and the more happiness in the world, the better.
So… way to go, you cat owners!
Verdict: Awesome!

Loveliest comment, by Tim: Er, are we sure there isn’t a little taxidermy involved here?
Happy Not For Sale Wednesday! But all I can say is this: my Hungry Hungry Hippos line was a joke. A joke. Not a suggestion. A joke. I did not mean for anyone to take, say, a classic (yet hideously boring) board game…
…and do something like this (only leaving out the little goose-stepping children):
Thinking of turning your own backyard into a giant Candy Land? Look out: you might get a Katy Perry infestation (quite possibly NSFW).
Found by Donna, via izismile. More here. And, like, everywhere. Because it is awesome.
Loveliest comment, by Justin: Personally, I wouldn’t mind seeing a full-size version of Mousetrap, although Operation would be a little creepy…
