UPDATE: I have removed the video because the person who owns the construction property threatened to sue me. They said my video was causing them negative publicity (not the fact that it's been sitting 2 years unfinished.) The best part of the message I received from this woman was that she asked me to teach her how to fly drones, because she liked my video so much she went out and bought a M2P. But also, she will sue me if the video isn't removed.


I drive this route about once a week and I've seen this HUGE modern house sticking out of the trees for (I think) 2 years. I asked a few friends who work in construction why it was taking so long to complete and they gave me pretty weird answers including; it was built too tall, and it was shut down by the Home Owners Association. I shot some video and posted to a local Facebook and got 2000 views in less than 24 hours and I've had several people private message me with more weird theory's. The 2 strongest theorys right now are; there are problems with it's structural integrity, and the couple building it are in the middle of a divorce and own millions in back taxes.

Nicely done. A drone is quite practical to take a look inside - without bothering anyone.

Or just that they realized it was ugly compared to the neighbors

It does look rather incongruous compared to the others in the neighbourhood.

For sure. And I actually learned that there was a traditional style mansion that was torn down to make way for this new modern house. The "old" house was only 20 years old and was valued at $750,000. I guess all the doors, windows, and fixtures were donated to a local a local charity to raise money for Habitat for Humanity.

I think the new house will look cool when finished, but right now is certainly an eye sore since it sits unfinished for so long.
