Stupid Property Repairs #3

I am naming this issue: “The Stupid Property Repair in the Pink House”

Again, when looking at North Minneapolis Investment Property, (which lately seems to be the place for stupid property repairs, but I am not going down that road to figure out why!), I found this gem.

But, let’s talk about pink for a minute… The below walls are not only painted pink in this room but so are the ceilings (and it has pink carpet just to round out the mess). This is not some 7 years olds room, but the entire dining and living room!

In that pink house we find an interesting plumbing repair. It appears this repair person was unsure about the proper materials to use to connect a new plastic plumbing pipe to an old cast iron pipe. As I always say, “When in doubt, use duct tape or its equivalent.”

Ah. Plumbing repairs and pink rooms all in the same house! And you too can buy this beauty for only $34,900!

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 [...]
