Does Ed Bolian @vinwiki live in a McMansion then? I would fricken love to have any of these houses with a huge 3+ car garage. People on the internet could make fun of me all they want. I really wouldn't care.
I bought a 2,000 sq. ft. Cape Cod modular. Modular frames are built with more wood to withstand transportation. Then I had some master tradesmen finish it. I love it. Warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Yes, combined with the fact that people bought these when it looked like houses were going to wildly appreciate forever and the bigger the house you bought, the more money would eventually go into the retirement fund. Now they're up to their necks in debt and the upkeep is going to start hitting hard.
ROFL that cat on the table! We’ve seen your old place it definitely was a McMansion but super cool place! To big for the city though honestly but at least it was at a dead end. Most people would be happy to own any of those though. We might have to move to Wichita with all the other famous RUclipsrs to get one 😅
I live in a McTinsion, A trailer. Help me change that by becoming a subscriber and staying tuned in for the unveiling of the Ravolet. A LS powered Rav4. Thank you and Goodmorning!
Michael Jordan's house should be turned into a home for veterans who are homeless or something similar for families in need that served our nation. There should be a staff that can help the veterans get online education, a fresh haircut and grooming and then assistance for job placement if able, Just my two cents.
This was one of my favorite (non-car) discussions yet! My wife and I share a common hatred for McMansions, and houses dominated by their garage (your old house excepted), and house "Mullets". My only gripe was throwing in the legacy cobras. I would agree that a lot of replicars are bad (e.g., fiero-based kit cars), but a lot of kit cobras are better than the originals in function, and real cobras are un-attainable or too valuable to drive. My first car was a Datsun 280z back in the early 80s, and I'd love one of those 280z-based Ferrari 250 GTO conversions, especially given the suspension and powertrain upgrades that could be done to probably make it outperform the original. Lastly, I'll bet that in 50 years there will be more 200-plus year old Victorians that survive than McMansions (as a matter of percentage currently existing). McMansions are so much garbage materials and construction methods.
I really liked that last McMansion with the theater and all the hideous wall art. If it was in Staten Island NY. I'm certain it would get a great price from a major organized crime boss Capo from someone in the Colombo crime family......it's all in the marketing hahahahhahha......
In Portland, Oregon some years back Scotty Pippin played for the Trailblazers. He purchased a home that did not fit the neighborhood where it was built, and after leaving Portland he tried to sell the home. It took over 4 years to find a buyer. How he came out in dollars and cents I do not know, but that was a perfect example of the wrong house in the wrong place.
There was a house in Edgewood Kentucky that was on a market bridge for $8 million. They knocked it down to $6 million and end up selling for just about 3 1/2 million dollars.
@@seanm3ify I don’t appreciate that comment Kentucky is a beautiful state it is a 15th state in the union. There’s a lot of history in the state apparently you’ve never been here.
Here in Oklahoma where I live they've abandoned the Mcmansions now they're buying up all the farm land and building McPalace with private concrete air strips. 😮
A McMansion on the street behind me went up for sale in Jan 2016 for 4,200,000. It finally sold in Feb 2022 for 1,775,000. Property taxes are > $56,000 a year. No thanks!
1:40 Mark in the video.... Honest to God, I almost bought a new-build exactly this design in California back in 2003-2004. It even had a huge Mother-in-Law unit built in the back that was a separate structure. The builder wanted $1.3M for it back then.
April fully embracing catmom life! Totally need a kitty condo for Neelix though. Will keep her from climbing on chairs and table. Gives her a comfy place of her own so can relax and see you. Kitty loves you both so much ❤
We built cat shelves near our kitchen in a central place. They like to watch us from above, cooking, eating and chatting. A heated cat mat within sight that turns on during taping will keep everyone happy.
@@frankhage1734 My folks have one in corner of living room. In dining room they have their own chairs to sit on. My cat has her spots. Unfortunately, when cat want lap, cat take lap.
That's interesting the term seems regional - on the west coast, we call them McMansions when they're on a tiny lot and the house covers every possible square foot of it. There's a 25 foot street set back, 5 feet on one side, 10 feet on the other and 2 or 3 story cheap mansion on top - it doesn't need gaudy glue ons - just the 'no yard'. In fact some of those will have windows on the narrow lot side where you can look through several houses.... They've started putting terrible color finishes and stone on the fronts - but the entire house is cheap. Like trailer house cheap.
I clicked because I know the house in the thumbnail, which doesn’t do it justice. It’s so much worse in person lol. And right on a heavily traveled road. People just baffle me.
Is the Stradman's new house a McMansion since its massive, has an oversized garage, and opulent front facade? Or is it a proper mansion? Trying to understand where people are drawing the lines here.
Been trucking for excavation companies since 2005. Learned that homes are built like budget cars cheap material. Some homes are sideways because poor planning. To sum it up most homes look nice on outside but inside is deceiving.
32K sf mansions that can't sell should be bought by someone who wants to own a building for offices, or a mall. Now that is just ridiculous, and I bet more than half doesn't even get used.
These McMansions represent the American dream for us peasants from the rest of the world. I grew up watching them on TV as a teenager during the 2000s, thinking they were so cool and what would I give to live that life! 😄Ok to be honest a McMansion is not that bad after all, as long as you can afford maintaining it.
I'd think I would prefer a nice rambler or colonial house built in the 1960s. Currently in a two level split which is not my preferred layout but had an attractive price.
I really think the two of you should do a show about cars and Star Trek. Because you both seem to fall into cars very easily. And hoovies love of Star Trek starting to rub off on April is just funny. 😅😂

If the garage was big enough, I would totally live in a McMansion...
Observations: New trend could be "Net Zero" cribs, (or Net Zeroish). Cats who can't unload these turkeys, could lean into "Urban Exploration" for profit/exposure. BTW, that feline is a scene thief...
Tyler, there is a RUclips channel called this old house and he goes back into the 20s 30s when he’s great mansions were built in Manhattan New York someplace by these billionaires and the quality the materials they put in these houses it’s just astronomical and they just bulldozed them down that breaks my heartbecause that quality of work those woods they use back then you can’t get the day you can’t get that quality of craftsmanship in any house built the day
People tend to notice cheap construction more when it’s in larger more expensive houses because they understandably expect better in a house that expensive.
Thank god i live in the most mediocre house in my neighborhood, perhaps someone will buy me out just to get my property which has a million dollar view, just to tear it down and build one of those!🤔😁 Fake hood scoops is the PERFECT analogy👍👍
Also, there are plenty of these mansions built on water front lots on lakes all across this county.( Lake Norman, NC Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri and Grand Lake of the Cherokee, Ok)
Any house in which the people live above the garage reminds me of Happy Days and Fonzi living above the garage. Not only that there are many problems with living above the garage . Anyway 0 chance I would ever buy one of those garage houses . I would also not buy a house in which the garage sticks way out the front to the point The Simpsons did a joke about such places
They are still building McMansions here in FL, but they aren't cheap anymore. They are still just as gross and usually just look like the one five feet away on the next lot.
I live in the middle of nowhere and there are huge housing tracts full of 8 bedroom homes. Are there really that many families with 7 children that warrant entire tracts?
Give me a 3000 sq ft steel shop with a 600 sq ft living quarters in the corner somewhere in BFE. That’s my dream mansion.
Just need to be semi close to a Wal-Mart, lol....
@@avioncamper Amazon Prime!
9:17 Says the guy expanding his already enormous house where only 2 people live. Oh Hoovie lol😅
We know Tyler needed that massive garage
Yes, but I'm still laughing about the "semi-famous RUclipsr" comment LOL
This is an odd topic, since your transforming an old farm house into a mansion
It's clear that Neelix is the star of the channel. And I'm here for it.
Yes, let him lay on the table!
Neelix
Nelix spin off channel!
@@dudenamedclem He's a cat so "KneeLicks?"
Good Morning Nelix!
As a life long Kansan, April is going to have to learn that trends get to Kansas years after they arrive in other places. 😃

You still got people building houses like this around where I live that's for sure
Before he said anything I was kinda thinking his old house fit, too funny!
Hope your feeling better April love you guys you always cheer me up ❤❤❤
AWESOME SHOW....Thanks y'all....

It’s Aprils Grand National now
The cat wins ...lol
Was anyone else waiting for Nelix the cat to swipe at April's table polishing ? 😂
Good point there 👍
Thay reminds me of a farm house getting built on RUclips 😂
Yay more camera time for Neelix! 🙀
The biggest problem is the upkeep. KISS - Keep It Simple Saint. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Yes, combined with the fact that people bought these when it looked like houses were going to wildly appreciate forever and the bigger the house you bought, the more money would eventually go into the retirement fund.
Now they're up to their necks in debt and the upkeep is going to start hitting hard.
Neelix is killing it in showbiz
Nelix needs his own chair, preferably heated and in the middle of yours.
Then again he's a cat so he'll probably not use it. 🤔
The cat! The cat! The cat!
Houses are nice but a large garage is the best,and a 10 foot ceiling for the lifts!
I feel like thus video finally had the appropriate amount of cat.
April is going to wear out the top of that table. It must be the cleanest surface around.
I miss the old Hoovies Garage 2.0 :( Can’t wait to see your finished new one!

Why?
Why should you judge what he does with the money he earned? That's a very communistic view just so you know.
Who’s gonna pay for that? You?
I’d rather look for a 1200-1500sqft house with a 3 car garage. I couldn’t imagine the cleaning needed for a McMansion.
So given Ed Bolian's garage, does his qualify as a McMansion?

These houses are already being torn down in Canada to build new ones or townhomes, even entire neighborhoods of them.

All about the location, location, location. Most of those houses are in the freezing cold NE or midwest. All theae would sell x2 in south FL.
I'd think I would prefer a nice rambler or colonial house built in the 1960s. Currently in a two level split which is not my preferred layout but had an attractive price.
10 millions I reckon, is what it will go for.
One of the issues with poor design is that it increases the maintenance needs.
Your Kitty needs a permanent bed on the table.
Also, I'm not a fan of your glass table. Get something else.
Love the show.

Every house in the USA is cheaply built, not just the McMansions
People tend to notice cheap construction more when it’s in larger more expensive houses because they understandably expect better in a house that expensive.
Some good points, but also a lot of the bashing is just jealousy. Turrets are fantastic

The cat makes me sneeze. Love the videos though.
If you live in the suburbs in a 4000+ sq ft house you may well be living in a mcmansion.

Customizing a Mansion is like trying to sell a car you customized to your own needs and want. Only you would enjoy it.

The smartest financial move I ever made was not to move…….from our modest home in town to a fancy suburban house west of town.
