About that toilet? Is that the one for the wolf-boys, decorated with "Call of the Wild" border paper? I love seeing the home revealed like a Gypsy Rose-Lee bur-lee-cue...one tawdry tassel at a time.
Mr C. wants to know where you get that brown antifreeze. Our hardware only sells the chartreuse and pink stuff and he finds those colors a bit too ladylike.
I'd comment at RN but can't handle 3rd party cookies. Anyhow, I got you beat. Bad. Gave $50 for my house - it had to be moved. 1100 Sq. ft., but now, after I remodeled it, sheathed it in redwood, did an add-on, spent maybe 15K, it's 2000sq. ft.; oh, and moved it myself. I've never paid a mortgage. Good on me.
Great blog. Your article is a must read. Great insight into the housing fiasco. My dad was a Realtor when I was a kid. Used to buy houses for 40K that now go for 100s of thousands, depending on the locale. I resolved never to be taken in by that. Inflation is a killer.

Hi Ruth Anne- Your question suggests there is more than one bathroom. Your question suggests wrong.
The former occupants of the house were deranged, and seemed to think they were living in a log cabin instead of Free Classic Victorian.

Hi Teresa- Depending on your monitor, it's really slaughterhouse red.
Hi John- Thanks for sharing your story, and for your kind words.
I must admit that I love houses beyond all understanding, and never get tired of hearing about them.
