When will the madness end?!? In my neighborhood a hideous salmon colored building was wrapped like a Cristo art project for two years while the developers ripped down the siding and replaced the windows due to rot and leakage. I have to say that the building was better wrapped in sheeting than as a putrid salmon eyesore. Alas it has emerged as an ode to avocado. Oh the multiple colored facades… When will the madness end?!?

That's what it looks like to me. The only question about this building is how long until it is draped in plastic to clean up the rot and mold and re-do the exterior in an impervious finish. I don't understand why builders and architects continue to try to use that crap up here. Is the exterior finished with Dry-Vit, aka EIFS? That’s what it looks like to me.
