It's just awful in a lot of ways. . . but I must say that it makes a great landmark! People always find it easy to locate our street when I tell them to turn by this ridiculous house. <br /><br />Years ago we lived in a neighborhood with a very active HOA and stringently enforced code. It was a pain in some ways, but it did ensure that everything always looked nice.

Lord have mercy! <br />Nothing too offensive right near us. The house across the way was looking a little down-troddin' because a single woman working too hard lived there. Sadly, she got foreclosed on. An investor bought the property, and is 'flipping' it. It's been fun to watch, and it's coming out beautiful.

However, this reminds me of a OLD neighbor who worked for the highway dept. He took paint from work, the same bright yellow that runs down the middle of the road, and painted his house with it. It was horrid.
