bad real estate round-up

Before we found the place we're buying we saw a lotta hum-dingers! I'd love to show you all the horrid things we saw but I only took pictures of a small percentage of them.


At the first place we saw, this lovely mascot greeted us at the top of the stairs. As you walk up the stairs he looks like he's about to pounce on your head. This was the same house that had shotgun shell casings scattered in the driveway and the woods. YEE-HAW.


One old farmhouse had the steepest of steep stairs that were so narrow that a third of my foot hung off of when my heel was jammed against the back of the stairs. (I wear a women's size 7.5.) At the bottom of these steep and tiny stairs? Well, a door. But not just any door. A door that leads outside, but is about three feet above the ground. Do you see the possibilities?


Gotta love these roomy old farmhouse closets. Couldn't even fit a body in this one, I'm pretty sure. Also, I see four different kinds of wallpaper. Niiiice.


To be fair, this tub o' doom was found in a place that was more hunting cabin than it was house. But still... I mean, ew...


A random pile of insulation. What's that splattered on the wall? Wait, no, don't tell me.

ANYWAY.

We had fun. We laughed and pointed a lot. We're glad the house hunt is (probably) over.
