*squints*



Yeah, I have days like this too.

They sell disposable cameras at the drug store, you know



Call me a spendthrift, but I think when you're asking over $500,000 for a house it's okay to splurge on a camera. Go on. It's fine. You don't have to use your cell phone to take the photo.

Butter? Parquet!


Found by dw, a longboater and househunter, who saw them in the Seattle PI: these excellent walls. I really do like how they look -- is that so wrong? But I am glad the homeowner stopped himself before he veneered the ceiling...

It gives a lovely light


Another delight from Mary, the Nebraskan realtor. Yes, it's a wood-burning stove. Suspended from the ceiling. In the basement.

Fine -- I'll do it myself



I think the sofa is trying to push the chair out of the photo.

Do you suppose all Earth creatures behave like that-a-way?



Found by Mary, a realtor in Nebraska. Thank you for sharing. If this is one of the houses you're selling... well, it will make the right person very happy.

And before anyone gets all het up -- she typed "realtor" with a lower-case "r" and I'm just copying her and I have no opinion on "Realtor" vs "realtor" vs "real estate agent" vs whatever.

Hey, what's under the tarp?



No... on second thought, maybe I'd rather not know.

This house is being sold not only "as is," but "where is," according to the listing. It never crossed my mind that location was up for discussion. Perhaps I should try to renegotiate my house into having a view of the Caribbean.
