satin (8/3/2008)
we looked at a house on Friday(we are looking for a bigger one) that had a bathroom upstairs that had a toilet and sink and no tub or shower BUT there was a room downstairs that just had a tub in it-nothing else.we saw the same kinda thing here in Digby when we were looking at houses. We still laugh at it. Plus the tub, sink and toliet were BLUE!!! CRAZY! we also saw a place that had a toliet closet, but then the sink and the shower were across hall, and through the kitchen... you had to walk though the kitchen with your dirty hands from the bathroom.... YUCK!

| I haven't had the "pleasure" of house-hunting yet, I was lucky enough that FH bought the house in a fab neighborhood, a great little bungalow....but we found out quickly that the house wasn't so "fab"... The first owner was a single woman who worked as a pharamsist. the house was built in 2001 (spring I believe) and inthe fall of 01, she hung herself in the basement...and it took 3 days for someone to find her.  THe next owners destroyed the place. One was in a wheelchair and would wheel all over their carpets upstairs with mucky wheels. Downstairs was unfinished...which was perfect for them, since they could run their grow op out of the basement!! LOL!! FH completely gutted and re-did the house before he moved in, thank god! Since FH bought the house in late 02 (maybe 03, can't remember) and I moved in April 06, I've had a guy basically try and force his way into the house b/c the drug dealer owed him money, and a little old lady stop by to drop brownies off to the original owner. I felt awful telling the lady she had "passed away".

I think the strangest/creepiest thing we saw when looking at houses (while this house was my grandparents old house and we wanted to see what it looked like now.) Anyways, there were locks on the OUTSIDE of all the bedroom doors! Strange! They were definitely not there when my grandparents lived in the house.

| I'll add one When we took the house we live in now, an old married couple had bee living i it for 35 years! they were sooo hesitant to let it go but anyway DH looked at it first then asked me to come look. we knew it was an old house so we were looking for a good price and we wanted to renovate everything. So anyway I walk into the house everything in it is old but thats normal i expected that. but i walked into the kitchen... everything was PINK like bright barbie pink! Im talking pink walls, pink counter top, pink cupboards! I swear it was like barbies dream house. the funniest thing was that the countertop was so low it came up to my waist (and im short!) i found that sooo strange how did they use that counter without crazy back pain!? anyway the first day we took the house we took sledgehammers and broke the whole thing apart and installed a cool chocolate brown kitchen instead!

| When I bought my firat house 5 years ago, it was horrid! I knew the area would be up and coming, Keele & Dundas in Toronto, we paid $152k. The whole house was painted road line yellow, the guy worked for the city and got the paint free! Along with a horrible green accent everywhere, windows had so much pain on them that we couldn't get them open, turns out they hadn't been opened in like 18 years! They tore down an archway, which left holes in the strip hardwood floors, they covered them with plywood! Then they put down carpet & underpad, then built a room on top of it! Anyway it needed a lot of work! We invested about $75k, and we sold it in May, it closed 2 weeks ago. The GREAT side? We WALKED away with OVER $300k in profit, in 6 years! So we just bought a new house, paid cash! I'm 27 and mortgage free! Look for the "diamond in the rough", I did, and it paid off big time!
