Newer Homes (90s and newer), New Home and McMansion Appreciation Thread!

I saw another thread where a poster was making fun of "inefficiant lawyer foyers". I happen to love that both my foyer and living room are 2 stories. It's very open and bright.

I am not being mean here -- I'm asking this as a serious question: how can you stand the smell of the plywood? When I walk by those houses being built and see all that plywood getting wrapped in Tyvek I think it must really smell strong in there....

I agree, what is inefficient? Back in the day an efficiency means this

No there isn't a strong smell. The water evaporates and then the smell goes away. How is that any different than an older home which is also made of wood.

The smell of new plywood is really strong.

I wasn't answering that original question, just elaborating -- I was asking about the strong smell that new plywood gives off.

I would be more concerned of the smell you would experience in the master bathroom that didn't have a separate door for the toilet.

Point being there is no plywood smell.

Wow, you are nasty. Good luck fighting off all the DCUM readers you don't think belong on "your" thread.

Why is that nasty? Many older homes do not have a separate master bathroom toilet with a a door.

Your idea that plywood smells permanently is very odd.

The idea that the smell of an open toilet in a master bathroom would be more of an issue is a reality.

I guess people think their shit don't stink.

I have a smaller, older house and I like it, but the thing I appreciate when I go into newer, larger homes is the large open kitchen. I salivate a little at the thought of having all that counter space and more cabinet space than I have now.

I tend to not be a big fan of some newer homes because unless you go high-end, they don't always have certain features I like in a home, like really nice moldings.

Lower maintenance costs. I don't have to replace a 40 year old heating system, etc.
