It’s bad from the outside, but the inside is so much worse. And it gets worse the more you look at it. So many details that are just so awful. Living in this “house” is probably miserable.

    I finally got to a bedroom picture where it looked like painted walls, then zoomed in to see it was carpet. My only explanation is Mormonism, as I have only ever seen carpeted walls in my chapel growing up. Mind you, that was rough spiky carpet seemingly installed to discourage sleeping against the wall.

      If you have any idea where to get that sisal fabric wall covering, I’d love to know; it’s amazing for cat scratching posts.

      I’m pretty sure they put that there because it protected the walls from scuffs and damage–especially the kind caused by moving folding tables and chairs all the time–without showing dirt from the hands of grubby kids. It wasn’t in every ward building, but it was definitely pretty common.

        As far as where to get the material, conveniently enough a church with $100 billion doesn’t usually install security cameras and a few windows are usually left unlatched from Sunday school kids trying to get fresh air.

          I know that one of the church in East Lansing, MI, installed magnetic locks (much more difficult to force open than mechanical locks) after an arson attempt failed due to the carpets meeting federal burn standards.
