People love to dream.

Some days you just see things, that make you question what people are thinking. Okay probably everyday. This is one of those things. This is a picture of a house, and it use to be a mobile home, and the owners decided to add on to it. Okay I get that, new home permits are 30k in the area, while a remodel one is about 2k. Makes sense to try and keep part of it to save some money.

Sorry for the terrible light the sun was setting, but the real part that drives me crazy is the roof. If you look directly from the side the house is still the same size as the double wide, but they just put this peak of a roof on so they can have attic space? or shed the snow fall. Not to mention this roof is like a 8 12 pitch and it is in the middle of a desert. Not a place that gets any snow, and the attic is going to be like 150 degrees in the summer. It is like a log cabin in the desert, and just looks so out of place. Maybe they are waiting for some sever climate change, and they are just ahead of the game. I am very interested to see the end result, and it looks like they are putting in about 200k, so I don't really know why they went this route.

I have no clue why they put this type of roof, but I have read that if you live under pyramid-type structures, you can get good health benefits :) May be they were thinking the same. :)

Sometimes I think people really have no clue what they are thinking when they do stuff like this. Mcguyver jobs will never turn out well in the long run and will often cost you more than you tried to save.

Ya, the quality looks good, but common the design is terrible. I would be fine with it if it snows here, but it doesn't. And they are throwing some serious cash at this project.

Man, I don't know what to say about this..... I mean.
I know people always want to do better and better, but taking this route confuses the hell out of me also. Hey just keep us posted cause I curious as to how it goes or even look afterwards.🤔🤨😐

Ya, they probably with put like would shakes on the roof, and the sun will dry them out in a year.

Life is good with dreams.

Although I'm right there with you on being perplexed by such design decisions, I suppose the idea of what a "dream home" consists of can certainly be as vastly different as each and every single one of us;0)

Some people love to bring their ideas to reality. The owner probably wanted to do something different from what was already on ground

Ya by different you mean something that doesn't fit in. He should have just built a igloo.

This is too much man!! If you are in his position, would you also do the same?

Life is filled with unexpected adventures.
As you continue to move on in life
and face new events, adventures, and challenges. So the person want to try new thing in his own way

Lol. Seems like they just didn't think it through.

Some people tried to challenge themselves to do the out of way thing . Afterall there must be a plan backing this up. We just need to find out
