I was showing this home a couple days ago.  The listing said “just needs a little TLC”.  Real Estate agents are the epitome of optimists and understatements!  This house was a wreck inside and out.  Then I went around back and found this little gem.  It didn’t appear that there was previously a room or part of the home back [...]

Wow.  My last stupid property repairs post was in January.  I am not sure if I have become oblivious to stupid repairs or maybe I am just looking at nicer houses.  Well, nevertheless, I found one in my own backyard about 3 weeks ago and the pictures have been burning a hole in my phone.  [...]

Ahhh.  Lucky number 13.
I always wonder why anyone buys a house that has fundamental problems like crumbling foundations or less than legal headroom in the 2nd floor.  I see this all the time.  Then to make matters worse, I have no idea why they will then spend a considerable amount of money cosmetically renovating this [...]

I have been collecting some interesting pictures over the last 30 days.  I haven’t found one house that was completely stupid, but a one or two in several houses.  Here we go:

Interesting lack of plumbing.
Who gets to empty this?

Mom!  Have you seen my favorite jeans?
Son, they are on the couch downstairs.

Just pour the water off [...]

My previous posts have mostly been about one house that was particularly stupid.  I have not seen one house that takes the entire cake, lately.  Consequently, it has been a while since I posted any new pictures.  So here is a montage from Saint Paul Homes to Apple Valley Townhomes.

They didn't want to change the [...]

Wow.  Ten posts already!  This version is dedicated to a rash of stupid plumbing and bathroom repairs that I have recently come across.  Many of these are from North Minneapolis Real Estate, but all ends of the Twin Cities seems to be participating.
I am not sure why it is so hard to do good repairs [...]
