Good grief, this Phoenix home’s bathroom mirror is U-G-L-Y ugly.

The rest of the mirrors are gold-flaked mirror tiles.

This is the ceiling of the shower with mildew.  Ever heard of an exhaust fan or opening a window?

One of the bedrooms with polka dots everywhere.

Graffiti on one of the closet doors.  [Curse word and kid’s last name blocked out.]

Her sister did the same thing in the next bedroom.

Not sure why Worcester is pronounced worst-er instead of war-sess-ter, or why Brett Favre is pronounced farv not faver, or why Bellfountaine, Ohio is pronounced bell fountain not fontayn, or why Reading, Pennsylvania is pronounced redding.  But we digress.  It is what it is.

2) Why is there a pile of insulation in the family room?

3) Why do we care if there’s a gas line stub coming out of the basement wall?  For a gas BBQ grill?

That’s the slogan for Swiffer.  Two Swiffers ready for action but no takers in this [Editor’s note:  I don’t have kids, so totally did not see that there was a kid swing; looked like two Swiffers and a box in the middle.  Duh.  Now I see it.]
Savannah, Georgia home.  Let’s motivate and get this house sold.

Budweiser wet bar.  What’s the purple plastic thing?  For mixing concrete or a giant litter box?
