"EL DUMPO!!"

I appreciate the honesty in the listing: "The Ultimate Fixer. Not for the faint of heart." When a house is a former meth lab, I guess there's not much point in pretending that all it needs is a fresh coat of paint and some granite countertops to perk it right up.

"need some TLC"


I didn't enlarge this photo -- it's that way on the listing. Are they not interested in making a sale? I do not understand.

That'll keep the nosy neighbors from spying on you.



"No kitchen, no bath," no view.

Decisions, decisions

"Hey, should we kick the garbage out of the corner before I take the photo? It would only take a second."

"Nah. We're only asking $539,900. Nobody expects clean floors for half a million."

I cannot mock this house...

... because this cat will kick my ass if I do.



(And also because it's a perfectly nice house. Ho hum.)

Sometimes you need a snack. Or some music.


It's a kitchen-bath-living room! Although actually it isn't, because the listing says the place has one bathroom and I presume this is it:



...so I don't know what that room is for. And I think I'm happier that way.

Say "Yes!" to safety

Yes, you're going to burn yourself every time you put clothes in the dryer...


...but it's okay, because when you jump back in agony you'll be right there at the sink, where you can run cold water on your wound.
