Today is Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. Please drink in moderation. And be sure to wear your feathered mask, as shown here. By the way, there isn’t a huge mosquito problem in Phoenix, contrary to the giant mosquito netting.
Many visual distractions around the fireplace.
We’re not a fan of the wreaths and fake flowers.

Looks like the hoarding has already begun.
They obtained city building permits for the room additions, right?

This Portland, Oregon seller likes things neat and compact.

Passive-aggressive home seller in Houston, Texas. The house is up for sale but you can’t visit it.
Another Houston home with inviting curb appeal.
And another one.

Houston, Texas home with mold and mildew. It’s probably a blessing the kitchen cabinets were removed. Now you know what’s been going on for years.

The very nice floors should be featured.
Butterflies in the bedroom.

There was short film (12 minutes) produced in 1954 to promote preparedness for nuclear attack. It’s called The House In the Middle. YouTube video link here.
A house that is neglected is doomed! The house on the left is neglected. The house in the middle was clean and tidy. The house on the right is an eyesore, cluttered and filled with litter.
The blast goes off. The houses on the left and right are destroyed.
The clean, freshly painted home in the middle survives the blast! Lesson learned: keep your house looking nice and clean if you want it to last.
See? We knew this blog had a bigger purpose! Your house will survive an atomic bomb if you keep it clutter-free!!!
