So, a flipper got burned on a sight-unseen purchase and thinks that random people on the internet should help him continue to make pure profit. ... who am I kidding, he'll probably get it.

The article posted:

Tim said one neighbor offered to host a fundraiser and another offered to launch a Kickstarter campaign to help the couple. He said they aren’t pursuing the offers.

Serial flipping is lovely, and yeah, this guy finally got the short straw, but factually he seems not to be trying to get Kickstarter to fix it for him, even though they actually might.

The caption on that imgur album is "pretty good for a guy that works at a bank" and I feel like that's all I needed to read to understand it.

If I was going to spend a personal fortune to build a crazy mansion to grow old and die in, the result would look a bit like that house.

groverhaus is technically functional, but inefficiently uses features and materials, to questionable ends

thus grovercode is: bogosort

Sounds like tract housing, where a developer will build out a suburb/neighborhood using the same few plans with little variance. Sometimes they will mirror the plans so you get some houses that look "reversed" in layout.

It really took off in the 40s when housing demand went through the roof. Developers could build houses faster and cheaper if they adhered to a common plan and building materials for every house. These aren't so much kit houses as much as a developer having set a standard style for their projects.

Kits are more like what you can buy through Menards, Lowes or Home Depot. They sell the plans and all the materials as a single package. It's then on you to provide the land and builders. I think house kits were originally sold by Sears as mail order during the push into the US West. You'd send in a catalog number and wire money, and a month or so later the plans and all the materials would arrive by rail.

you should read the article, tbqh
