Viewing homes each day gives me the opportunity to witness things that are fascinating if not outrageous. You can be the judge on the following “features” I have found in various homes I have viewed this past year.
*An jagged square drilled right through a laminated kitchen counter top about 12” square. A recycling bin was tucked under the kitchen cabinet beneath the hole. You can just sweep your cans and bottles right into the hole without ever leaving the kitchen.
*A glossy black urinal in a basement bathroom right beside the toilet.
*A digital thermostat that was meticulously painted to match the walls. Neither the temperature nor the settings were visible through the paint.
*A vinyl, louvered shutter that was mounted over the air return. I guess the shutter was cheaper than the metal, air return grate that is designed to cover the hole.
*Metallic, silver wallpaper with the pattern of the Rolling Stones logo of the lips/tongue (in the living room no less)
*A master bedroom “suite” where the owners had completely removed the wall separating the master bedroom from the master bathroom. The toilet, bathtub, sink, and bed were all with a few feet of one another and the plumbing was not hidden in the walls anymore.
*A television cable wire coming from a cable splitter at the neighbor’s house and strung about 100 feet to the house I was showing, where it entered the house through a hole in the vinyl siding.
