To the OP, it may not be your cup of tea but it is a functional build that deters rotting, does not settle, and is simple for DIYers.
The class explains why. At first I didn't like it either. But after taking the class, it makes total sense. The boss didn't like it either until I showed her where aesthetically looking houses would rot here and there, where settling problems would occur, and how inexpensive the design is. She completely understandable now... It also helps that I've showed her like 100+ pics: it grows on you for a while.
Kind of like a current version of a Camaro vs a nice '67 without the flipdown headlight louvers: sure you can just finance a new $45,000 retro-looking car that fits in with aesthetics of modern day culture and the older '67 looks "old" and out of date. But, it is functional, easy to build and maintain and most of all makes the driver smile (with a lot more money in his pocket).
