oldtimer Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I think Mungkiman will get a kick out of this: https://www.aol.com/article/finance/2016/10/18/an-architecture-expert-reveals-20-of-the-ugliest-mcmansions-in-a/21586297/#slide=4237562#fullscreen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted February 15, 2017 Moderators Share Posted February 15, 2017 I am not a builder but some of that is ridiculous and makes no sense, not even counting cheesy. I alway hated they way architects cut up roofs into so many different parts and angles, it adds alot of extra cost to a house and re roofing later, plus way more places for leaks to happen.

mungkiman Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Wow... Thanks for posting. I see stuff like that occasionally, and am amazed that people value oversized, poorly designed(?) and cheaply built crap to live the "dream." I guess we all have different dreams, but still... Makes me even happier about the niche market I get to work within. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsoncookie Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Not discounting the point of the post, a separate technical issue. That link is to one of those websites with a separate series of photos on different pages, that tries to divert you to all kinds of crap. When I went there, a number of tries, all different , no matter what I clicked to continue to a second house picture, it brought me to some totally unrelated stupid Uber related link. So I was still curious to see the other houses, and finally directly tried the mcmansionhell.com, and it does not go there. Am I that internet stupid, or what? Rarely have trouble. Anyone else w this problem???? Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I had the same problem the first time I went to it but subsequently figured out that when you when you see the first picture click on the backward arrow and it will show you all of the dumb looking homes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The link leads to the last house shown. Follow the link and just hit the back arrow to view the rest of the homes. If its still jacking you, you may need to restrict popups Doh! Jimjimbo got it first. Anyway, there were 3 or 4 home designs there I didn't mind at all, albeit a few corners cut. Maybe they should be complaining about the architects that drew the plans, not counting the building flaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiliconTi Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Wow, I could not find one in the batch that I could at least like some aspect of. It is sad that these places sell - it just encourages more of them to be built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just you, the site is misleading to move around on, took me a couple of tries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
