Shutters to think?


A brief update on the curious home construction project on Irving Street NW, just east of Sherman Ave.

First it was the fake bricks being painted into a template. Now, it seems, the windows were placed so oddly, the ornamental shutters can't fit on the far left side.

I suppose this COULD be deliberate. Perhaps it's an example of design awesomeness that I'm just too simple-minded to understand.

I'm no architect, but, it looks like an improvised oopsie.

Not that I'm against improvised oopsies, that is.
Keeps life interesting.
Keeps the squirrels laughing at us.

Too funny. It would be hard to imagine someone actually intentionally "planning" this design. If it's part of some design-awesomeness class, I must have missed that one in school.

It's even harder to imagine a buyer.

Between the fake brick and the shutter imbalance, there's no way I'd buy this house. Somebody obviously needs a kick in the head. Or better friends who tell them the truth.

I'm speechless... that is so strange!

Wow. Very weird. Has Home Improvements Ninja seen this? He would have a word or two to say about it.

Oops!

Apparently it's now for sale too.

It looks like they built half a house, got bored, and wandered off.
