L@@K! Photos from Real Estate Listings (see remarks)

find a need and brand it

with ass

you gotta expect to pay for ass

that kids room is just boring, nothing of note i dont think. people really like their layers of browns.

The Big Ass moniker evolved over time, said Mr. Smith, 67. The ventilation company, which produces fans for residential, commercial and heavy-duty industrial use, some priced (before the company sold) as high as $10,000, was originally known as the High Volume Low Speed Fan Company. But “people would call and say ‘Are you those guys who make those big ass fans?’” Mr. Smith remembered. After they renamed the company, critics called Mr. Smith to say he was going to hell and that he was contributing to a general coarsening of American culture, he said. “Preachers and ding dongs,” he dubbed them.

lol kinda tough tho cos upon seeing the name the first time i thought for sure it was owned by some meathead monster energy type of bro. kinda fun that it isnt

i'm a fan of "Live Laugh BARN"

big ass fans always use to advertise in Harpers and The Atlantic

it's hard to imagine, but I think I actually hate Texas more than i did 24 hours ago. That's saying something.

Ah, so that's where they got the phrase "Western Swing".

And they say Americans aren't ready yet for bidets.

where do they GO i mean

The kids' bunkbed with three bunks and only 14" of headroom per person was BLEAK. There was enough room for another bed in there but okay I guess channel some kind of prison camp that's fine!

Back to basics, my favorite reoccurring event on residential listings:

what in the hell is that brick wall there for

that looks like a plaster wall put up by a photographer

That was exactly my question at first too.

that's a mirror, right?

That's a mirror.

And the photographer is peeking the lens through a crack in the open door.

ohhhhh. i was wondering about the open door. it was hard to figure out!

The range, cabinet and fridge look a lot closer in the mirror than they really sholuld. Plus, the shelf that's hidden from its own reflection due to the wall coming out.

Shelves.

trompe l'oeil

Not an image, but I've been puzzling over what this description means. It's like Schroedinger's Listing

The house is in good repair and move in condition, but needs renovation and updating. This is the perfect starter home. Home being sold "As Is"

lol - is anything ever sold as anything OTHER than 'as is'??

'Used bicycle - $200. if you buy it i will quickly do some repairs on it for free'

well most times you buy a house you can ask owner to make repairs, i got a new roof for example

The bigger question for me is how something can be in “move in condition” and also “need” renovation.

“you can live here just fine but all the fixin’s are dated as hell”

^ my house irl

a good real estate agent would know nothing is ever dated, rather it's charmingly retro

I drive a car that's in good repair and running condition, but believe me, it could also stand to be fixed and worked on.

man, if i saw this kitchen in an NYC apartment listing i would be salivating... that fridge is hideous and mismatched but just look at all that counter space! the only real problem with the mirror wall thing is the lack of a good visual boundary between it and the fake brick wall beneath. fix that and throw in a more colorful paint job and i'd be sitting pretty.

tbf, a barndo manhattan listing would go for mid nine figures

I mean, I was looking at some of those barndos and thinking, "Could this be acceptable in an industrial loft?"

Except for the fact that I have a gas range, that kitchen is probably more recently updated & has better features than the one in my apartment (which I think it's dates to mid-to-late 1950s tho it is "cute"). And it's eat-in!!

we got a new stove/refrigerator in the past year when our early 80's models burnt out but i would otherwise trade up to that kitchen in a heartbeat
new york sucks

Eh my bf's house in the country is modest, 1920s-ish, and the kitchen is small and not eat-in and doesn't have much counter space. It's a design flaw. It's not just NYC.

new york sucks for other reasons, epicenter of a mass pandemic comes to mind

actual lol when the first image loaded

the interior is pretty good too, love the armchairs and tv setup in the kitchen

the chair up against the kitchen counter... I imagine it was a progression.

- I want to watch TV while I work in the kitchen
- My legs are tired I'd like to be able to sit down for a break
- My eyes are going- better scoot closer
- This chair is uncomfortable better upgrade to a recliner
- I need a surface to put my meal while I eat during my shows

that place kind of rules

Key features
HIGHLY DECEPTIVE
