I've removed way too much of the top two in a few houses that I'm never doing it again.



OMG YES

grandma houses

Well, my house had nearly all of the peeves mentioned aboveChat Icon I obvioulsy saw through the problems.





Ditto...

Our house was FILTHY. My mom ran out gagging Chat Icon

But, we were worn down. It was in our price range, and we loved the neighborhood. We made it work.

I would get sick to my stomcah if there was a smell... any smell-candles, cats, cookies and yes my personal favorite...curry! I threw up outside of a house in West Hempstead. Right on the sidewalk in front of their house. (I was pregnant at the time...)

Poor quality or cheap renovations - we saw so many bad do-it-yourself jobs where you'd have to do so much work to un-do the damage they'd done. Like the childs bedroom with a construction theme - steel railing as corner molding bolted to the ceiling - a roadmap collage glued to one whole wall as wall paper (yes, actual road maps overlapping, not wallpaper) and a wheelbarrel tire bolted behind the door as a bumper to keep the doorknob from hitting the wall. We ended up asking "who gave that person a hammer?" more than once.
