Where is a 3000sq.ft. House "standard"?

Tasteless just like Mickie D's and just as quickly produced.

Think: at least twelve of the following: circular driveway (or a driveway that is simply a circle), columns with capitals not known to any prior style, windows that do not either blend or match, one or more oriole windows, double height entry ceilings to match the double doors, an overuse of wrought iron, one or more balconies (typically a variation on Juliet balconies) facing the street, 1-2 turrets, a fully tricked out "bonus" room typically over a three car garage whose doors have been painted or stained to say "look at me", and in general a feeling of lopsidedness sited combined with massive square footage so that it overwhelms the lot and typically the existing neighborhood, little to no lawn and little to no landscaping. Will often have a foundation course that does not match or blend with the rest of the house (e.g,. stone foundation with a stucco facade and vinyl siding on the other three sides or will have cement blocks for a foundation and another type of exterior facing material for the upper portion). A roof that mixes lines from two or more house styles.

I'm not sure that the 10:45 house is a McMansion. I thought it was just a wart on Bethesda's ass.

McMansions are tasteless and mass produced with cheap ingredients like the food at McDonalds.

Please be warned that those who end sentences prepositions are destined to live in McMansions

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.

Why do people buy houses and fill them with filthy animals?

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

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.......

Have you never watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition? They tear down the old house, build and furnish those McMansions in less than a week. Don't weigh in if you dont know WTF you're talking about.

So a week is 3 days now. ok.

1 day to rip down, 3 days to build the house, a day or two to add final details, and a day to furnish. They have done it in way less than a week.

Also: hyperbole. You seriously need to learn what this word means.

thank you very much, it still makes you an idiot

NP. You have seriously lost the plot, sit down.

Where is the name from?

I am so out of it regarding houses that I always thought it was a menu item at McDonalds.

Look up the word hyperbole.

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

Pro tip: try a dictionary.

Looks like you might need to look it up. LOL

You're the one who said you searched the entire internet and are still confused. If anyone is dumb, it's you.
