While looking at random houses in the town I'll be moving to I discovered a whole neighborhood of do-it-yourself houses. Boy, people are ambitious in that part of the country! When they feel the need for a house they just buy the materials and build it.
Here's (above) a home that's better than some. It has a driveway that leads to nowhere, a basketball net right outside the dining room window, bushes that strangle the mailbox, and a tiny wishing well, but these are minor problems.
The marble egg, love poster and La-Z-Boy probably don't come with the house.
But there's no need to panic. If you get trapped you can always leave by the back door and walk around to the front. Watch out for the back steps, though...the yard's on a different level than the rest of the house.
This neighborhood abounds with do-it-yourselfers. How do you like the DIY house across the street (above), which is also for sale? I like the Venus Flytrap railings and the disguised door. As a matter of fact, I find myself wondering if the house has a door. Well, doors are overrated, everybody knows that.
Believe it or not, this place (above) has lots of square footage.
Maybe it needs that because all the the rooms are so long and narrow.
Farther down the street are houses (above) with minimalist yards.
I swear, there's two types of lawn people in the world: those who believe in landscaping and those who believe that mowing is all a lawn needs. It looks like this neighborhood attracted all the hardcore mower enthusiasts.
Yikes!
