    Based on current events, I’m starting to think some of the red-hot stock tips I have gotten on here may not be as good as I thought they would be. Crap. 
    It is mildly entertaining that a dozen people still like that house pic.  So much of life really does boil down to paying attention to detail.  
    If someone wants to track down a fake house on their time more power to them. I don't think most people (including me) are going to go back and track down and unlike a post. Just my thought anyway....

    My thought that it could just be a stock photo of the house that he could be building? You'll see stock photos of houses in house realtor magazines that are a generic picture of what the house will look like. That would be my best guess unless it's 100% untruthful. He's not a known troll account. He's worth the benefit of the doubt.

    So when is the big move (this home was built in South Carolina)? Did you have to pay extra to have your home listed on architecturaldesigns.com or did you get a discount for letting them use your new home in their advertising?


    Might want to think before using stock internet images lol


    never said this one was mine..

    did say i was in the middle of purchasing one (just like it)..

    much like all the amazon pictures posted, this one just has a bigger price tag.

    to add color..

     =) 

    guess I should feel some way in the fact you try (and spend time searching) to knock folks down..

    good on you..

    @JohnInCarolina - you need to post your above acquisition over in the Exotic Car spottings thread.  Now there's a set of wheels for a drive-thru run.

    Come on Frank. This is an obviously lame attempt to troll and bully another member who posted a picture of a generic house in lieu of his actual proposed house. He and his buddies thought they had a real gotcha moment until a reasonable person from Minnesota offered a more reasonable and charitable explanation.  Don't fall for his antics. I know you're buddies but...  :open_mouth:

    I think Frank obviously gets the sarcasm and is playing along with it, FWIW.  No need to lobby here.

    Oh, that's right, you guys are all coordinated on a group text. Sorry to spoil your coordinated group trolling and bullying. I hadn't considered he'd be participating in the shenanigans.

    Trust me.  I am not on any group texts.  Just called it like I saw it.  I did recognize that it was not a private residence driveway but with the way the economy is rolling these days...

    I am on a couple long-running group texts with mostly guys that aren't on the forum anymore and we don't talk about the forum for obvious reasons.  If it helps thinking there are dark forces secretly plotting against individuals here (also probably discussing drinking infant blood and planting microchips in vaccine), then keep on with that.

    That was 100% me and 100% stand by it. I'm happy to admit I'm wrong if proven so. Otherwise, it is what it is. I don't ever poke the bear with people who aren't bomb-throwers. If you come on here throwing haymakers on 5 threads at a time trying to stir up sh!t, I feel it's fair game for me to have some fun with it. That's all that was. Bullying is what Lit did to Ron and many others.

    If you are going to be on here picking fights, don't cry when someone hits back (for the record- Billit isn't crying- you are for him)

    Good for you man, I’m too scared to build. My wife would blow out our budget on her dream house. Funny, she has no issues sticking with other peoples in her daily profession as an interior designer tho…..

    I'm with you here.  In the process of a back yard reno and it seems 3 things go wrong or change at every single step. And this is super basic stuff, nothing near as complicated as a house. I would have a stroke if I tried to build an entire house.
