Did this belong to one of those couples who adopt like, thirty kids?
― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 9 December 2020 21:53 (three years ago) link
(nothing against adoption obviously! just it feels like this odd mix of "domestic space" and "letting people have their own adult space" and "we need room in the kitchen for 15 people to circulate" etc.)

I felt like the rec room and pool table and the, like, bland hotel vibe were working against the "extremely religiously observant family cult compound" idea, although thank you, I did understand what you meant by polyg.

i've seen some polyg compound exteriors and interiors in my day and to be fair, that is a very upscale one.

Also it has a commercial kitchen including a commercial dishwasher, I will double down on "religious retreat" if I have to.

Wait, I'm so confused by the stairway house -- so you don't actually use that stairway to go up and down floors? Is there another hidden stairwell or elevator or something? And someone thought it was a good use of limited space to just waste a fuckton of it with non-functional concrete steps?
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Wednesday, 9 December 2020 22:24 (three years ago) link
that seems to be the only possible explanation. seriously the dumbest house.

huh you guys are complicating my polyg compound narrative. maybe it was bought and remodeled into something else? no way that was built from scratch for non-polygamy-compound reasons in hurricane, utah.

it does look like the windows open to allow a person to pass through, at least? i think you can technically use the stairs to get from floor to floor, it's just that doing so would make you spontaneously combust from pretentiousness.

There's a hidden stairwell underneath the giant ornamental stairs.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 9 December 2020 22:37 (three years ago) link
oh yeah those are doors, didn't realize. the angle of the stairs makes it look like many people would trip going outside that way.
― superdeep borehole (harbl), Wednesday, 9 December 2020 22:37 (three years ago) link
And yeah, the wasted space is awful. WTF is this room? How is this pleasant in any way?

I'm pretty sure some rooms have floor-to-ceiling glass windows keeping you from walking right off the edge and falling onto the useless cement stairs. Also god forbid you have to pick your nose because absolutely everyone is going to witness it.

also what's with the stage lighting, do they film a lot there?
what gets me is that despite how big, fancy, and staged things are inside, the outside of the house looks like an abandoned retailer that was shuttered a few years ago

Not gonna lie, my boyhood home has one of those carpeted bedrooms with a brick wall on the inside. Happened after we enclosed the carport to make a fourth bedroom.
Room also had a window between it and the kitchen. It's still for sale, btw.

but did it have shelves over the window and a curtain-pattern wallpaper border?
