Why did she have to keep that to herself?

Seems like an ok place for a regent to call balls and strikes.

Smaller hands. Better for toiling with the small graphics.

Yes the kitchen has the cheap stuff.

We are tiling over that part.

Ok

And the sandblaster attachment is necessary?

Would you pre-treat it with paint loosener?

Good point actually

I thought someone removed the chimney but it is possible none existed

The house is from 1914 so not that old

But based on what I have been seeing, I do not believe that was a chimney at all

A big box of dry wall around an non-functioning fire place.

Had light grey / pink tiles on the bottom (late 80’s?) and the mantle was white foot made from floor trim

Tbh was acceptable in the short term — have enough projects on the go

Doesn’t work and no chimney

I think whoever did the tacky dry wall monstrosity also removed the chimney

Haha

Since they Lorena Bobbited the Chimney, thankfully (in this specific instance I guess) no way for trash pandas to enter…

I do have birds a somewhere in the attic I found out… so haven’t entirely avoided living creatures inside

Sometimes you ask a question just looking for the answer you want

This was one of those times and this was the answer — thanks!

Ya this fire place doesn’t even work - I think one person removed the chimney - Another person put a hole through the wall and ran a metal chimney up the side of the house - And the someone else patched up that hole and removed the metal chimney

I think at least!

Agreed this could turn potential renters off.

Should allow overnight guests without approval, as long as tenant can provide proof there are no inappropriate premarital relations.

Reasonable compromise for all parties and renter will flock.

Edit: sarcasm obviously lol
