Help!  I need somebody (to repair me).

Help!  Not just anybody.

Help!  You know I need someone.  Help!

Help me if you can, I’m feeling down.

Help me get my feet back on the ground.

Won’t you please, help me?

Help.

Help.

Help.

Help.

Help.

Lions and tigers wallpaper in a Hickory, North Carolina home.

Vintage bathroom.

Looks brand new.

Laundry room.  We’re taking bets how many detergent and bleach bottles can stay on that board before it breaks.

The kitchen has great views of the yard.

Neglected home.

Owned by the same family since 1993.  But they refinanced for $180,000 in 2005.  Perhaps to remodel the home?

The house went into foreclosure.  The bank sold it recently in this condition for $50,500.

We’re not seeing any renovations so far.

None of the $180,000 was spent in the kitchen.

Or in the bathroom.

The bank disclosed to buyers that repairs are needed to the room addition.  Building permits probably needed too.

The bank also said the house has termites and roof problems.

The investor buyer could spend $50,000 and really fix up the place.  Too bad the previous owners didn’t.

It’s never been cleaned.

You might be in disbelief, but these are actual real estate promotional photos of an actual home for sale in Chandler, Arizona.

Mommy cat gave birth to several kittens recently.  She’s feeding them next to a baby crib.

Here’s the baby crib.  Let’s refer again to the photo above.  Dirty, soiled carpet, damaged drywall, and cat dander.

Outside we see two puppies.  With gas canisters nearby.  Those eyes are so sad looking.

The patio is filled with junk.

More junk!

And more junk!

Messy room inside.

Cluttered kitchen.

Soiled carpet.  I hope the baby doesn’t crawl on that.

Dirty carpet in another room.

Cluttered bedroom.

Stuff piled up in the garage.

There is a bed in the garage!  The garage door has a Dallas Cowboys poster and a sign that reads, “cat/kitten crossing.”

It’s no surprise that the driveway is dirty too.

Vintage and retro homes are supposed to be desirable nowadays.  There are exceptions.  Here’s a 1958 Phoenix home.

I went to Oahu, Hawaii and then to Australia (Cairns/Great Barrier Reef, Uluru/Ayer’s Rock, & Melbourne) for 2 1/2 weeks in February.  I wrote new posts in advance and was able to update daily during my vacation.

Here’s a rusty kitchen in Honolulu.

Misery loves company.  It’s nice/sad to know they knot their window curtains in Honolulu too, as seen at a different house.

Oops, they did it again in the next bedroom.

Here’s the front of the house.  You can see a knotted curtain in the window.  Looks like they tried to shove a mattress through the window.

Clash of the Patterns in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.  The wallpaper is fighting with the carpet for attention.

This next Melbourne house would be really nice if the walls weren’t cracked or peeling.
