Well, it’s a place to hang your hat.
I like this site (just found it recently) but have a suggestion. I think it would be much better to have the link of the real estate ad bring readers to a full sized version of the ad so they can actually see the rest of the details clearly instead of just the one photo that is posted.
If you click “found by” it will take you to the ad.
The problem with that is half the time the ad has been taken down. Real Estate ads don’t last very long and are usually flagged not to be cached
Yup. That’s why my LOLcat overlords have been including a screen shot of the listing, so you can at least see a smidgen of it after the listing disappears.
Thank you!
Um. They couldn’t take that off the walls?
The husband was sick of his wife taking them down so he used a:
*permanent sticking charm
*So many screws its not worth taking them down
*welded them to the metal studs
I hope none of these fish are the singing type… lol
Must be near the kitchen- I see cedar plank salmon (and is that rack of lamb?)
you know…this site isnt helping me find a house. in fact, its making me more and more likely to tell hubby “why dont we just sign a multi-year lease where we are…?”
Exactly the same thing happened to me. A year or two ago this was going to just be a few photos while I househunted. Now it’s 1,000 posts later, and all that’s happened is that my computer is in the other bedroom.
Aww c’mon house hunting is lots and lots of fun.
You get to visit neighbourhoods that smell so bad you wonder how anyone could live there. The neighbour hood with millions of cats and the one block ghetto in the middle of really nice houses.
You get to play “find the 4th bedroom, its listed on here so it must be around somewhere”. And the “is that black mold or just mold” (actually in the house we bought it was photocopier toner, hehe, scared off enough people we got it really cheap, luckily we are smart)
You get go to houses with “brand new jacuzzi tub, worth a look” and think… why would anyone put such a nice and expensive tub in the middle of an unfinished basement with no walls for privacy. Ahhh and speaking of no privacy then there’s the “open concept” house that you can see the bed in the master bedroom from the front door.
The “semidetached” house that sagged in the middle but the neighbours couldn’t agree to work together so one house was re-levelled but the other wasn’t and its now impossible to fix that house without screwing with the other, but its ok because the whole upper floor is at a 30 degree angle but they put a subfloor in the master bedroom to level it, but not the bathroom or other two bedrooms.
Hehe
Eventually you do find a house you want to live in though, and then you are no longer paying someone else’s mortgage which is always sweet
“…’is that black mold or just mold’ (in the house we bought it was photocopier toner, hehe, scared off enough people we got it really cheap, luckily we are smart)”
So, basically you traded an allergen for a carcinogen? Obviously you don’t scare easily.
Photocopier toner doesn’t grow.
Take down the drywall with a reasonable amount of care and you don’t have to worry about some rogue spore growing somewhere else.
Beside its probably not worse than most building supplies like the old lead pain, of MDF which is carcinogenic as it degrades. etc.
I’m not gonna lie, house hunting has it’s ups and downs. I remember when my husband and I were looking, there were houses that I was too scared to even go in (much less, a lot of closets that I would not dare to open, for fear of a dead animal or worse…body) I always wonder if those houses ever sold though….
….There was a house we looked at..pretty much gutted (nothing in the kitchen or bathroom, the house was pretty much a shell) and the last room (it was a bedroom) we looked at had a broken window, some clothes and a sleeping bag….I think someone was sleeping in the house at night..even though it was foreclosed. Yikes!
On a side note, it helped a lot that his cousin is a realtor.
Good luck in your hunt!
They took everything else out of that house, cleaned it nicely, but didn’t think to remove the dead body parts?
When I bought a house, I was surprised to find out that the curtains, legally, had to be included. Maybe dead fish nailed to the wall are the same way.
Yes, that’s it. If you HAVE dead fish on the wall, you have to leave them up. It’s the law.
Okay, I grew up around hunters and a few heads or fish on the wall don’t bother me, but those orderly rows on that cornflower blue wall are an embarrassment to hunters and taxidermists everywhere. Also, I’m having trouble imagining furniture in that room that would improve the situation. A twin bed, surrounded by staring faces? A tiny little office that the wife wouldn’t let him paint? No furniture, just a room to stand around and admire Uncle Bill’s trophies next visit?
If you click through to the ad you can see that’s just part o fan L shaped room (with more antlers and a bear head) that’s labelled the “salon” which is french for livingroom as this ad is from Quebec.
Its also got a wood burning stove
and a beautiful lake.
They probably left the dead bodies on the wall to show what great hunting and fishing can be found in the area. I’m just glad there were no hanging Chairs.
