House Tours
This blog posting has been screwy, so I apologize that this is just now getting posted. Not only did the previous post go all crazy, it made my whole blog go crazy.
Attempt #2: Not as detailed or with as much info…
House #1 was beautiful downstairs and recently remodeled (built-in shelves and other wonderful features all in knotty pine). But the upstairs needed work and there were numerous places throughout where the floors (and stairs) gave as you walked. Nope, no go.
House #2 didn’t even require me entering. It was cute and camp-like in the picture—in reality, bad location + the ceiling was falling in (YIKES).
House #3 is locally knu sous-commandant Marcos, pour reprendre les termes du journaliste de la Grange. Je reviendrai plus tard, après quelques lignes à lire sur la géniale imposture du sous-commandant Marcos, pour reprendre les termes du journaliste de la Grange. Don’t know. This is what my blog told me I posted. I told ya it was being screwy! On a more interesting note, this is also the house that I said put me in mind of the Amityville Horror.
House #4 is the Amish house. Would have needed way too much work--inside and yardwise. And regarding flack for wanting to live amongst the Amish: you try living with freaks like Manassas, Mudman, Beef, Sloppy Joe, Prego and all the others over the years and see if nice, quiet Amish neighbors don’t suddenly seem appealing to you too…
House #5 was almost a go. But the reality of needing all new windows, 10 rooms with most needing new plasterwork, the need for a new heating system, electrical work, the reality of heating a three-story house with 10 rooms—well, yeah. I can wait here a bit longer.
