Porn Fatigue

 

HOUSE PORN no longer turns me on.

Brick fronts and plastic sides? Ugh.

Whirlpool corner tub for two? Please just give me a big shower. 

Two-story entry with HomeDepot chandelier? Spare me. 

Tacked on wooden deck with too small scantlings? Nope. 

"Bonus room"? Just tell me the house was poorly designed right at the top.

Five acres of grass with no mature trees or landscaping?  That just means I'll have to mow lawns 9 months of the year for the rest of my life because I don’t intend to raise sheep.

The pool is a big feature?  Not for me; it's just a maintenance headache and expense.

Seven fireplaces?  One gas fireplace is great; seven old wood fireplaces?  That's just expensive heat loss.
 
This house is *how far* from a gas station, grocery store, mechanic, or hardware store?

Sounds like somebody has never had an old-style Heatilator. I lived in a brownstone where the previous owner had replaced the fireplaces (every room) in the 1930s with them. They worked brilliantly. Very cozy.
