I do. I lived the 80's. Right fucking here. I'd move into that house as is.

Awesome does NOT have to be tasteful.

The 2x8 makes sense, hard to really secure big double doors like that.

3 deadbolts on the bathroom is strange . . .



I've got the same harbor freight rolling shop stool!!

Anyone notice the 4 locks on the master bath door?!?  Then there are some high up slide locks on the bedroom doors.  That place is awful. Love the kitchen with wrap around bar. Floor plan is really cool.

This is the ultimate in bad taste. It looks like a homosexual exploded. The last time an interior decorator was this abysmal, his name was Hitler.

That place probably smells like a mix of coconut oil and lemon pledge with the occasional sensation of some off odor that makes you think "Is that  poop?"

That lock from the outside of the door.

I think the new owner needs to set aside about 10-20% of the final sale price to have a professional trash removal crew empty the place and a professional sanitation crew come in and deep clean.  Then spend maybe another 25% or so getting rid of the f--k shack/rape venue vibe so you could actually live there somewhat comfortably.

Well...taste IS subjective. What you find tacky or gaudy or horrible, someone else finds awesome. It's neither right nor wrong, it's just his personal style.

Probably the guy who had the house built and decorated.

My ex girlfriend’s dad was this guys chemistry teacher and was pretty good friends with the dude. Good enough friends that he was given a sliver of the business back in the day.

I should have married that girl. Her parents her loaded and had a house on Daytona Beach and a house inland in Ormond Beach.

I was noticing deadbolts on other doors too. Kinda odd.

You never know with things like that I had a fairly wealthy old widowed man call me to come put deadbolts on some of his upstairs bedroom and attic doors once. When I questioned him about why he told me that he saw a news story where someone was secretly living in someone’s upstairs. He said they would hide in the attic until the people left.
