Ugly House Photos

You are looking at some high quality construction there.  The outdoor bathroom sure comes in handy for back yard beer parties.  Awesome!

This horrible hovel with the roof leak doesn’t look any better in the bathroom.  The previous owners remodeled the shower themselves and did a terrible job.  Look how the shower floor looks wavy and uneven.  Cement and grout smeared everywhere.  And many different types of tile were used (leftover pieces from the bargain bin?).

What were they thinking?!

This is the roof of the shower.  Notice the different styles of tile and the lack of a consistent pattern.

The other bathroom features a jetted tub and more awful tile.

The kitchen.  Once the appliances were removed, the years of neglect were evident.  Termites chewed through the baseboard.  There is a hole where the cabinet meets the baseboard caused by a mouse or to run wire?  Plus more evidence of water damage in yet another part of the house.  The mold spore count in this house is probably off the charts.

More evidence that the previous owners lived in the house under the horrible conditions of extensive roof leaks, water leaks, and bad remodeling jobs:  this is a craft project that took a long time to create.  It’s in the corner of an enclosed carport.  This is what happens when you lose your marbles; you glue the marbles to the wall!

Another view of this delightful art project.

He/she painted the ceiling.

Oh, look, more ceiling paint!

Sponge paint in the living room.

Rag rolled paint in a bedroom.  Lovely, huh?

Big hole in your ceiling from a water leak.  Got buyers stopping by soon.  Quick.  Grab a storage lid & staple it.  They’ll never notice.

Because they are confused and lost.  These are real estate photos for a 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home in the Bronx, New York (Fordham area).  It’s listed for $200,000.  The ad says the home is 53,820 square feet.  That’s a huge house for only $200k.  Funny though, I didn’t know palm trees grew in the Bronx.

Is that a view of the Hudson River from their master bedroom?

The seller of this home is very proud of his built-in shelf slash display case.

It’s almost as ugly as this “desk” with corrugated metal skirting featured in a previous post.

Green Bay’s gonna lose today because they don’t know how to build safe balconies.  Would you step out on these two balconies?

This is a photo going ’round the Internet from a house somewhere in Europe.  Hmmm.  How do you get to the balcony?  Maybe their architect is from Green Bay?

Here’s a foreclosure house that was purchased by an investor.  He/she remodeled the house nicely but dropped the ball with the heating & cooling ductwork.  Rather than properly vent the house under the roof (it gets really really hot here in Phoenix), they ran ducts on top of the roof.  The hot sun then makes the cold air turn warm by the time it reaches the far end.  (eyes rolling)

They would have been better off installing separate mini-split systems in the back sections of the house.  At least they didn’t paint the ductwork black.

There are some weird things going on at this house.  For example, check out this bedroom.  Looks like a casting couch for, um, private movies.  A video camera, two tripods, one couch.  And a pan flute for mood music.  Creepy.

Over in the bathroom, toilet paper is available to persons of all heights, but only tall persons have access to paper towels.  Because?

And finally, we have the living room where the seller obviously likes having an audience while he works out.   There’s also a vacuum cleaner in the corner.

Really now.  A toilet in the bedroom.  It’s missing a tank and a lid.

One of the bedrooms is being used as an office.  And they have a NASCAR lamp and lots of golf clubs lined up and trophies and other clutter.
