    It looks like a commercial property where they tried (operative word: tried) to convert it to a residential property. Which usually means that you get the worst of both worlds.

    I love that building except for the exposed interior pebbling. If it was smooth concrete i would 100% want to live there.

    Whoever built that house was shooting for "futuristic palace" and landed on "down-at-its-heels dentist office"

    My childhood dentist's office had the same weird textured concrete brutalist thing going on. It even had an indoor water feature, albeit smaller than the one in the house.

    That just means it's in a location even GA natives don't want to live in.

    That house looks like the least comfortable thing ever built. The turret staircase being made out of the same concrete as virtually everything else is is particularly jarring.

    And is it just me or does a whole lot of the presumably structural concrete beams look to be in worryingly bad shape? What a fascinating train wreck of a house. A house whose interior floor plan appears to be 25% pool.

    I like it. Not enough to want to move to GA and get an impossibly bad mortgage, but I like it.

    I mean that's what happens when you put it straight into a fucking pool, instead of taking the extra $30-50 grand and designing it without the column right there.

    Nope. Still a sex cult house.

    That big marble table is obviously the centrepoint of a group sex room.

    The long long bench outside facing the fountain is for the "disciples" to sit and receive the days sermon from the cult leader.

    That creepy little windowed nook next to the pool? That's the jerk closet for when folks are bangin' in the indoor pool.

    Newnan is an exurb along I-85 south of Atlanta. It's for people that work in Atlanta who would rather have a big house than a tolerable commute - you're looking at like 60-90 minutes to Downtown during rush hour, 45 minutes without traffic. There are far worse places in Georgia to live, believe it or not.

    Why not just buy a big enough strip of land to put a grass airstrip in and then fly into work every morning? You'd probably save a buttload of time and money.

    You wouldn't gain much/any time unless you happen to work super close to one of the small airports in the city.

    Know a guy who used to do that from the south coast to Canberra.

    Know another guy who owns a chunk of land in rural Georgia. They live in a renovated granny flat because the 19th century colonial style farmhouse that used to be the center of the property ‘mysteriously’ burned down during a cattle-centred feud with the neighbors..

    Met some interesting folk over that way.

    There's some big-dick cardiologist here that told his hospital "put a helipad on the parking deck for me or I quit" and they fucking did it. Bonkers.

    I've worked for a hospital that was propped up almost entirely by the cardiac cath lab. They got whatever they wanted and the rest of us worked with their hand-me-downs.

    I'll give you your first protip

    you don't just shut the water to your hose bib off and drain the hose before winter! There is also a small screw that you have to unstopper to drain the water between the spigot and the shutoff! Otherwise it will cost you $174 and change to replace when it freezes and bursts.

    speaking of which, I had a hose bib replaced today =/

    I'm feeling these same feels! I closed on my first house in March, and have spent all of April fixing it up before I move in.
    Move in date is May 23 for me!
