JACKIE MARTLING'S HOUSES

For some reason (actually, I know the reason) I keep searching for pix of Jackie Martling's houses online. The crew would bust on him so much for his "shacks". I get these images of outhouses with antennas sticking out of the roof. The only things I've found are the addresses (under John Martling and the other is Off Hour Rockers) which are, indeed, three houses from one another. Howard and Robin claim that his residential dwelling has no backyard; just a side lot with 2 feet of lawn. I've seen aerial photos and found this to be true. It's as if a house was turned sideways to make it fit onto the lot - if it could really be referred to as a lot.

Also, they've said that the 'garage' was converted into a recording studio. Howard referred to it as a shed; in fact, every time he talked about the houses he would call them 'dumb little houses' on 'garbage dumps'. It's kind of hard to get a proper measurement of square feet from the aerial shot, but it looks as though it's a barn/garage that was converted into a house after the property was split up.

His other 'house' is his office. From the air, this looks like a small town ice cream stand. Howard said that all of Jackie's recording gear is set up here, and that one cannot move around since it's 'jammed in'. He's also said that there's a TV that's 'right on top of his eyeballs.' Stuttering John said that Jackie put an extension to the side of the building for the TV. Podunk indeed!

Funny as hell!
