They picked a terrible time to take photos of the house for selling.

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.

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.

We’re having second thoughts about this place.

This one’s not looking so good either.

Next.

First impressions. Check out the roof in the upper right corner. [Augusta, Maine]

They’re calling it a home. Any takers? [Martin, Tennessee]

We haven’t decided if this de-sided Sedalia, Missouri home is worth a visit.

My owners haven’t taken care of me.

They never seem to wash their hands or their dog. This is my front door.

Thank goodness for the gap at the front door. It lets in fresh air.

My kitchen is both beat up and beat down.

The edge of the kitchen cabinet. I have termites!! Long-term termites. Like many, many years of termites. My owners ignored the signs.

They started to remove things and then stopped.

Extensive termite damage.

They removed a closet.

They wanted the house to flow better?

This is the shower door. It used to be clear. It’s never been cleaned.

More termite damage. How could they ignore this?

They got mad and punched me, then tried to patch it over.

This is the patio roof.

They’ve ignored the problem for quite some time in this Mesa, Arizona bathroom.

Clash of the patterns.

The kitchen could use some help.


The floor was swept.

The door was slammed into the wall. A fist was punched into the door.

A fresh coat of paint will help.

Garbage day is tomorrow.
