So, JJ and I are looking for a house. We don't have a set-in-stone timeline for buying, we're just trying to get familiar with the different neighborhoods and areas of Noogville right now. We've been to 6 or 7 houses so far, and I've noticed something rather amusing. Although the vast majority of houses look pretty similar in the online profiles (somewhere in the mediocre to fairly decent range), the realities of what you actually find when you go into the houses can be radically different. So now, for your reading pleasure, I will chronicle the rest of our house looking/buying adventure.
I won't be too specific, because I don't want to get sued.
So far, a few of the exciting real estate nuggets have included:
* a used condom on the ground outside a house. I accidentally stepped on it. vomit.
* a basement straight out of austin powers, including orange shag carpeting... it was totally the kind of place a teenager could get to second base in
* a charming craftsman bungalow with a sink and a bathtub in the unfinished basement.... actually it wasn't a bathtub so much as severe flooding
* belligerent homeowners, so angry about being foreclosed upon that they took the garbage disposal out of the kitchen sink when they left
* a bathroom so artfully photographed that you couldn't tell that the only finished part of the tile job was the section in the photo....
Oh yes, I can already tell that it is going to be a fabulous journey. There will be pictures and commentary. I know you are all so excited for this adventure to get underway!
