That’s wonderful work! Just come back from the east coast and after several visits I am still blown away by the style of the houses, Mind you some of them are going to silly extremes with as many different roof lines as possible.

Lol yes work at work, work on the house, sleep, repeat.

They call everything here that was built between 1980 and 2010 either colonial or modern for the most part , neither have much meaning. Now it's modern farmhouse or craftsman, still without much relevance to anything inside or much outside.

This house is "colonial" in that sense. It's a more traditional facade but was just a generic box inside. The builders here will offer the exact same house floorplan /interior with 5-6 different exterior options.

I've been slowly transforming the interior to a more traditional look.

Thanks.

The Mc Mansions are still in effect. It seems to be getting better though at least in my area. Some "architects" still love as many roof lines as they can cram on a box.

Here you get architecture based on lego, no character at all because the builder has to maximise profits for the shareholders and so keeps cost to a minimum and if you have daylight between two houses they are classed as detached. As for that house, here they would have shoe horned another twenty or more onto that plot and I suspect it is to stop them falling over, a bit like cheap fully fitted kitchens where all the units combine to keep everything together.

We have the same issue really as with woodworking machines, we all complain about the quality but people still buy them and so nothing changes, same with newbuilds.
