Maybe I have missed any comments on this, but does anyone know why the large beautiful home next to the ultra large Hilton home is perfectly wrapped? The covering looks like it was made for the house, only right in front is thick plastic.

some possible guesses:
-Provide added insulation to keep power bill down as cold weather is expected to set in.

-to do a heavy pest fog

- painting the exterior

- removal of asbestos

- re-stuccoing

-trying to capture bats which have made their way inside

- cooking meth and don't want anyone to see them

- trying to have more people talk about their house than the Hilton Home

-trying to piss off the neighbors

-making a green house out of their porches

Hubby and I have discussed this. Haven't called someone who could give us a definitive answer. But our guess is that they're redoing the stucco. Of course, you know the problems that many people have had with stucco. Yes, the house is a bit grand in architectural style, but we were told by someone who was involved in that project that this style was what they really wanted, and by golly, they had the right to do whatever they wanted, just as the owner of the also incongruous home next door did (in the apparent absence of an architectural review board for the entire neighborhood?). They are really nice people from what I've heard. Like I've said better, no matter what anyone thinks, there is always someone who disagrees with them 180 degrees.

I know 30A isn't Central Park, but has anybody seen Christo hanging around recently? 😀

That's what I thought when I saw the question. Christo! :floor:

Christo is probably hiding in the house behind the plastic enclosure.

And for the challenged, "hanging" was indeed intended to be a small pun...

Perhaps they are merely practicing safe architecture.

Always a good idea when working with a new designer who's past experiences are not known. Who knows how many cheap strip malls he may have done in the past?

they was mold in the house and they are having to rip most of it out. Not sure to what extent but a gentleman that works for them says it is because of mold and they do not want their grandchildren being exposed to that.

What do you mean, "wasn't" cheap, as in past tense? The curtains are still covering the house.
