Place sounds awesome. It's a couple of hours north of a place we've holidayed in a couple of times - only Italians go there on vacation and nobody speaka de English. Even though I speak zero Italian - it's soooo much better that way

edit: bullshit - it's only 40km north (of Palinuro).

Or Ctrl+Alt+4 on a lot of keyboards. There's probably a € symbol on the 4 key.

Just a modest 19,000 sq.ft home in Oklahoma, resting in 36 acres of land.

Funny to see what people do with their clearly very "open" budget house builds. Most of the interior decor wouldn't be my choice, but aspects like the garage.....

edit: awful video to go with it

another edit: the address is "undisclosed", but they mention the schools nearby..... location is here. (Check out the streetview - maybe they did run out of budget before they did the fence along the roadside.....

Those HDR photos have been HDRd so hard it's difficult to focus on them.

Crazy place though, looks like a an all-inclusive adult swingers resort.

This “big party property” approach always makes me wonder how much their mates really enjoy getting invited over for their most-amazing-evah parties…..

both of this!

The woman in the red dress standing in the empty garage in the video only adds to the swinger feel

The house being built next door has sold and the kitchen the buyers have chosen has been going in ahead of them moving in next week.

It's all glossy surfaces and sparkly granite, to be honest I don't know what they were thinking and it makes me worry that I am not going to get on with them as neighbours.

You should try not to get too worktop about that. If they demonstrate over time that they are indeed c-units, then it's fair to consider them your nemesinks.

yep, don't mess your drawers over it. Yes, the design is a bit kitch in your opinion, but lots of oven people might like it.

Alternatively, you could give them a grilling about their design choices to understand why they did it. Don't rush to judge them, give it time to sink in.

[mik]

Exactly. The scales of neighbourly hatred should boil up naturally over time - you don’t want to faucet.

[Rich B]

You may hobject to the finish, but you need to shelve your concerns or gloss over them. Or it'll be a drainer on future relationships - after all no man is an island.

[Gavster]

Exactly, might be time to soft-close the friendship, or chop them out of your life completely.

[Rich B]

When you do meet them, fork gods bake be careful of the words you use about their choices, using the wrong vocab-in-it can easily offend them.

[mik]

And if it all goes down the pan, just bash their sculleries in.

I fitted my private reg to the MX5 today and realised the garage has a perfect wall to store old reg plates. So I made a registration plate wall. Sad but nostalgic for me

[Simon]

Why so many J8 BSN plates?

Also, that last plate looks a bit.... reflective.
