The kind of house that could be built in three days for the Real Home Makeover show. Tasteless.


LOL! Perfect!

I think you're the dumb one. That was a great description. Maybe the PP hit a nerve though...


You "think" a house can be built in 3 days.......


Look up the word hyperbole.


I searched the entire internet and I still don't know what you mean.

Basically they are large houses that are mass-produced on the cheap. Generally they're in neighborhoods of other similar houses, although I suppose a tear-down and re-build done on the cheap can qualify.

And not much land either. If you really want the stately/imposing look then be prepared to pay for the land that goes with it. Versailles won't be Versailles if one wing was squeezed into the typical suburban lot.

My "McMansion" is filled with a husband, three children, two dogs and three cats - I call that a home. I am currently sharing our sectional with two very comfortable dogs.

We have enough space for my children's friends as well as any stray that ends up on our doorstep - and they do tend to find our home. That's the benefit of space, to folk like us. YMMV.


Cool story.
