Beautiful home.
Never miss an opportunity for a feel-good put down.I can understand needing to save for repairs, and maybe making only the critical repairs; but keeping a kitchen clean, the place where you make the food you eat-nope I can not understand that.
So you would prefer me to lie about how I feel? It was not a put down, btw. It was a comment about myself. I sure you found that kitchen perfectly similar to yours and therefore acceptable to you. ”Different strokes for different folks.”Never miss an opportunity for a feel-good put down.
As did we on our first old house, and 75,000 on our last old house, not ever buying an old house again.Uh.....home repairs cost. My house was built in 1953. My sister & I spent $90,000.00 in plumbing & electrical alone - still needs painting & some remodeling.

WOW @win231 you are a bucket of cheer in my current sad and stressful life.And post #13: "I just can’t understand why you let it get in such a bad state."
You're just overflowing with compassion & understanding.
By now, you should be feeling good all over.
You aren't capable of getting it. Or, (more likely) you just don't want to get it.WOW @win231 you are a bucket of cheer in my current sad and stressful life..
The holidays are often very stressful, especially for people, well, hmm, like you. And since we are such good friends, I understand your need for negative attention; but my patience overflows. Therefore, I will explain more, just for you @win231, just for you.
Letting a house get in disrepair is an mistake and effects the price of the home. So yes, I can’t understand why anyone does not keep up the repairs of their house, as a house is a solid investment which is suppose to INCREASE in value over the years.
I saw this all the time when house shopping. Look at MLS 1782237. Such a loss of money in tough economic times. This house should sell for 450,000 plus due to its location instead 350,000.to this house, didn’t even bother to look at it. I would not walk into it even wearing a mask.
Yes, by not repairing a house you save money in the short run, but you lose money in the long run. Therefore, my comment is a financial comment, I suppose you missed that in your haste to attack me once again-feeling lonely win? Needing attention? Call 1800-whatever.
Or maybe it just didn’t occur to you as you get out so little.![]()
The point is that her mother died 15 years ago. Based on some of her posts, she has more than enough money to pay for repairs, but opted not to.I'm jumping on the couldn't afford to keep up the house.
If you would take the time to go back over deb's posts.
I believe she mentions the job she had.
If my memory correct right her job sounded like it paid well.
Factor in the fact it sounds like deb was care giver for her parents.
She had little time to care for the house,,
She gave me the vibe that her parents may not have wanted or perhaps could not afford house manintance.
Just something for all us to think about,, who still own their own home.
Do you have the funds for both home care givers & money for house maintance?
I think she'll find new ones with the new home.....I'm going to miss the ongoing drama of Deb describing the various faults in her old home.
Who am I ”insulting or degrading”? I am giving my opinion-of me.You aren't capable of getting it. Or, (more likely) you just don't want to get it.
It has nothing to do with home values or property values or the importance of home repairs.
It has everything to do with insulting & degrading someone who probably can't afford to keep up a house.
I do not know if she ever got the blinds workingI think she'll find new ones with the new home.....![]()
I'm sorry, but, go back far enough through Deb's earlier postings and pictures and I think you'll find the "bones" aren't there. I remember the basement issues (water intrusion) which could only be fixed with a complete drainage re-do around the perimeter of the house. Then there was the crumbling bricks and rotted window casings allowing water to enter the house and rot from the inside out. If you look at the current pictures, you'll see almost every room has water or mold damage. Extremely expensive to repair. (I know, I had to one time). Start adding it all up and if anyone comes even close to the asking price, I say, take the money and run.Hi!
Just reviewed photos..and, as is said in the R.E. business.."the bones are there"
I don't think " it's in that 'bad a shape' "...
Some investor..who knows everyone( contractors) will fix it up..lickey-split.. and with all those bedrooms turn it into a bed and breakfast.
No problem, Deb!
And Good Luck!![]()

Hopefully Deb will find contentment in her new digs.![]()
@Jace, are they the ones that said they wanted to sell it at the end? If so, I saw some of it.Did anyone ever see the show...I think it was called Welcome to the Chateau.
