A Question for Home Builders and/or People Who Like One-Walled Structures in Their Front Yard

By Adam McGill |

construction-wall.jpgTim and I stoked each other’s curiosity as we drove by this house being built at the corner of Armstrong and Bryan. What’s up with the mini-house out front? It’s not even a mini-house, but barely more than a wall of a mini-house. I noticed that the wall’s progress reflects that of the larger project: When the house was just a wood frame, the wall was a wood frame. House gets a roof; wall gets a roof. Sheetrock; sheetrock.

Tim thought it might be a city-mandated structure. Something something about codes. I pointed out that other home projects did not have them. He now thinks it’s a really small mother-in-law suite. (LOL, right?) Me? I think it’s a home-builder flourish–a way for passersby (and future owners) to see the level of completion.

But certainly someone out there knows the answer(s). I’ll post this over on DallasDirt, too, to see if anyone over there knows.
