Make every photo count.

This listing had only two photos, and this is one of them:


I wonder what the photos that didn't make the cut looked like.

Screw it. Let's just sell the place.


"You clean it up."
"No, you."
"You!"
"You!"
"You!"

"You!"

I exaggerate. It's not really $200,000.

It's $199,500.

It cost about $3,000 to get it removed. Which is probably why these people are just keeping their pool, even though it's so full of algae it's almost a wetlands:



Although, come to think of it, it looks like that one's above ground. Hmmm. All I know is that I have absolutely no urge to go down that slide.

Dora Dora Dora Dora Dora
