House Hunting is a comedic experience!

FH called a few weeks ago on a house. Definitely a handyman special, but we are ok with that!

So the agent calls out of the blue and asks if we are still interested (a buyer probably backed out) and we say yes.

so she says, ok meet you at 7. by the way, bring a flashlight.

Re: House Hunting is a comedic experience!

it actually wasnt the worst house we have seen - it was empty - it looked like someone was trying to fix it up before they sold it but stopped.

of course, there were big gaping holes in some walls and the idiots tried to replace the upstairs bath, ripped out the floor, and now there is a hole in the floor so you can look down into the downstairs bath Chat Icon

we are going to keep it on the list - they arent very negotiable, but i think the price is giong to come down again.

so for anyone who says I complain about wanting a perfect house - um yea a house I am considering has HOLES IN THE WALLS Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Well - the holes in the walls stink - but at least you would get to pick out what you want for the bathroom......

LOL thats true! we would literally put up new sheetrock everywhere. the house has a great layout upstairs, but the downstairs is weird - so we would knock down walls and stuff.

you should have looked on LI before NC for some laughs!!! its AMAZING how gross these homes are!

this one is sad - it looks like it was really nice at one point, and someone just didnt take care of it.
