Day 261

Well todays house hunting expedition was a real bust.  Looking at houses online is NOT an accurate representation of the actual thing.  I knew going into it that we'd be looking at some homes that needed some repairs and remodels, but I was not prepared for the terrible neighborhoods.  No one takes a picture of their neighbors trashy yard, the busy street behind their house or the muddy yard where grass refuses to grow.  Here are some other 'gems' I managed to get photos of...

This house had a really nicely re-done kitchen.

but then you went in the garage and there was
the ugly 2nd kitchen  that took up half of
the 2 car garage...what?

The bathroom with velvet wall paper.

the weird brick chimney that had a built-in, indoor grill

This house had an attached garage, but they  had walled
 off the door to the garage, so you still had
to go outside to get to it.

See that island... it's portable, you can take put it
against the wall, next to the fridge, even outside!

Aqua toilet...

and sink.

This house looked really normal...

Until you discovered the microwave stuffed with bread...

The stove that backs to nowhere...

the labyrinth of storage/dog/cat rooms

the labryinth continues.  

Oh and see that crazy cat in the last picture?  Funny story.  We were at that house and the realtor had special instructions to be careful not to let the cat outside.  So, we're in a back bedroom all three of us and we hear this weird noise... bang... bang... bang.  Finally the realtor goes to check it out and it's that psycho cat throwing himself at the open screen door trying to get the handle open!  Nuts!  This is why I don't like cats... they are weird.
