They could have put glow in the dark stars on the blue.

I can figure the dark blue, but brown? sounds ugggy

Dirt, mess, filth. If they can't clean up the place to sell it, I can only imagine it was never maintained either. Immediate no go for me.

Things stuck to walls and ceiling - last house had stars stuck to the former kids bedroom, entrance and main bedroom had smoke mirror tiles stuck on with silicon, stuck on hooks - all made a big mess when removed. Current house had hooks dangling on chains from the ceiling in various spots. There is no good reason for this indoors. Also if your friends help you pack up the night before you move out and you give them a thank-you gourmet dinner, please clean the remains of the duck a l'orange from the stove, floor, bench tops..............

ewww! Now how do you know they had no purpose for those hooks bob? More likely it falls tmi!

I once painted a ceiling sunshine yellow to brighten a really gloomy room - I hoped. My joeys have never forgiven me.

havingfun - LOL. I thought the hooks were for objets and plants but now I am really wondering. Stelarc? Madam Lash?

The spa does look very worn in telperien.

Well that is alright then. It is when it is worn out you have to worry! lol Oh my goodness, i really need to find that tardis door, i am just out of control tonite. Maybe too much oxygen?

dadadum.....how bad did it smell naomi? Never say i don't play straight, when necessary. lol

But seriously, houses can be like rough diamond blokes. If you look past the smells, possible criminal activity, bodies in sleeping bags, yellow ceilings, you just might find a good solid termite free house underneath. Famous last words...............

I am with you bob, rarely is anyone as good at seeing the greatness in that ugly duckling as me. lol

well my big dog did not have frito feets, but all my small ones, and the next door neighbors did have frito feets, so I am guessing yes, they do smell different.

well, on lots of small dogs at least their feet smell like frito corn chips! My neighbor years ago had her first dog in her early 40s, curious about everything, so she smelled said pooches toes. Of course I had to smell my pups to confirm. Big one, no, little one, yes. and I have done so every since. tehehe

You really never know what is going to be discussed here next!!!!

havingfun yes! my Pug cross feet smell like that and when he needs a bath the whole lot of his fat little body smells like that! I wonder why?

well, naturally, once she told me we both had to confirm the whole adventure. i have not thought of that in over 30 years. lol

but see even tarot knows. Now everyone go smell your puppies feet, there will be a quiz. lol

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww......... I was having lunch.

Very fruity actually.

Toe jam ?

ewwwww! Were the toes fruity or the lunch? I have got to get to bed, this is way too much.lol

I was leaving it all to your imaginations and you did not disappoint. Actually because of the heat I just had some fruit for lunch - as in pear, apple and strawberries.

but, is it a small dog fiona? And Mac, why is it only the small ones that tend to smell this way, and I have noticed when they were dry. I may be nuts, but even i don't go sniffing wet tootsies!

If the family is still there, watching TV as you al work through, yes this has happened! Seriousy!

oops, hubby reminded me, that Sashi, my previous big dog did have frito feets, (many things near big c now lost). Large Dog I had before, did not. so guess big dogs may have frito feets.

Don't like dark houses, as in, very little light - couldn't survive in that environment. Went thru one like that once. Walked thru hallway, kitchen, lounge & straight back out. Another house had a very bright, brand new, lolly-pink bathroom - everything was pink, yet too new to replace. Left that house as well, to dry retch outside.

houses for sale that have not been cleaned for the photos and inspections, unwashed winodws and broken curtain tracks and blinds, clothes on the line, all the family photos and nick nacks crowding every surface and all the tangled electricity cords everywhere just highlights lack of power points

Much as I love a bargain, seeing an unkempt house is very sad and offputting. Who brings up these people who don't care a stuff about their own home? Too much furniture and clutter, unkempt garden and cars parked in the actual garden, ugh! I also take the liberty of looking inside cupboards (why not?) and most people have way too much stuff crammed into every cupboard. What's wrong with people?

Shower curtains, and poor hot water

love that name gallifrey!

all the non cleaned up stuff and hoarding is i believe a sign of our times. we missed that gene from out parents. i was once on petition signing walk in my little town, and every house was unable to let me in the front except 2. I also believe it is often a sign of depression? things have not been going well, at least state side for a number of years.

Old school lighting, power points and old, wobbly ceiling fans!

went to inspect a house in Lorne..as soon as we went through the door I turned around ..the smell of damp..they said their washing machine flooded the carpet..

then another house I went through in Carlton..only got to the hallway I went straight out..a reno's delight..I felt like it was haunted..bad vibes..my hair was standing on ends and that was it

chuby, i understand the bit about the floors, when we first came up 16 yrs ago, we were looking everywhere, many small towns and country spots. so many had like 5 layers of carpet. could not tell what the soft spots were from.
