Since the book contains V, we get practical Vacation Homes. When building a house in the woods, is there a practical thing to do? Of course! Drape the roof over the second floor so no one can look out the windows. You’ve just spent a lot of money to build a nice house; wouldn’t it be PRACTICAL to look at your house, not the woods?
   
  Another fine, practical vacation home. This one is very practical, in the sense that the bunkers facing Normandy were practical. If you get the Heathkit version of this building, it revolves 360 degrees; you can see neighbors coming from the slits on the second floor. Soak your bullets in rat poison, just in case you wing ‘em; it’s the PRACTICAL thing to do.
   
 

 

 

This fine vacation home has a stunningly practical feature: a three-story segment that captures all the charm and intimacy of a motel stairwell forcibly inserted into a cruciform barn. Practical feature: you can park the car close to the door. That’s good, because you’ll need to run FAST to avoid the gigantic mutant bird outside.
