PRADA SLUT, et minimalist al avert thine eyes. This poo poo is gaudy as gently caress, and I apology for the enormous photoset posting. This thread must see this. Deer god.                       $227,900/9 br/6000 sq ft Scranton, PA built in 1920 From here: https://thehousehuntingblog.com/post/187631642153/2279009-br6000-sq-ft-scranton-pa-built-in Tag yourselves? I think I'm the corner sink. I thought I was the mini pulpit in the bedroom with no bed but that pink canopy, but I believe that's a radiator covering? I don't know. I'm still reeling a bit.

value-brand cereal posted:This makes me wonder what would be the worse and most dangerous thing to put on your ceiling. Hay is flammable but would burn quickly. Candy like hard peppermints wouldn't exactly burn, but if it gets hot enough you'll have hot sugar dripping on you. Though if you're still inside a burning building at that point, that's probably the least worrying thing to deal with.

Would the gently caress out of that place. 227,000? really? I paid just a bit less than that for a poverty spec ~500 sqft one bedroom condo. Are there some major structural deficiencies in that place? Or is it Scranton thats the problem?

My 2 minute Zillow search turned up homes of similar size ranging in price from $29k to almost $600k so I don't think location is the only reason for the low price here.

Edit: It does have a pending offer tho  https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1005-Vine-St-Scranton-PA-18510/9571464_zpid/Edit 2: It's got a combination of steam heat and electric heat, and one room has a lovely portable air conditioning unit sitting in it. I bet the monthly utilities bill is astronomical. Sirotan fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Sep 11, 2019 |

At least you could replace it if you dumped a pot of chili on it, unlike kitchen carpet. I am currently very into worn old oriental rugs. I got a little one, 4x6 maybe, at the Goodwill bins for $5. It was covered in dog hair but surprisingly did not have any stains or smell like urine.

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:Kitchen...rug? At least you could replace it if you dumped a pot of chili on it, unlike kitchen carpet. There are some surprisingly decent looking polypropylene rugs - you can vacuum and spot clean, but if you dump the pot of chili you take it outdoors, add a bit of dishwashing liquid, and turn the garden hose on it.

I just drove through Scranton 3 weeks ago on a trip back home to Ohio to get help with car repairs. It's the kind of place that you cold sweat over the possibility of your car breaking down in. Edit: I may have gotten routed around the center of town; regardless, the immediate suburbs are a discouraging place.

I'd be willing to bet that the realtor in charge of the listing got way more curiosity calls wanting the backstory than anything else, and that he was really glad to get that property to pending status. Pretty much the only thing that the listing blurb divulges about the house's history is that the original owner was a real estate guy!

Nessus posted:Scranton is over a hundred miles from the two nearest large cities, so I figure that's the big thing. Scranton was an important city during Pennsylvania's coal boom. As a result, it is full of really nice buildings, built to last by miners and industrialists when they both had huge piles of money. Now the entire region has no industry and no real reason to exist, but all of the government buildings are well made, and the city and surrounding towns have preschools and social services run out of edifices with eight inch thick stone walls. Even the old houses are nice old houses, and are generally occupied by retirees who don't mind the total lack of culture there. Because the people who lived there invested their wealth in infrastructure, the region largely survived the transition away from coal--even if there's not much to do there.

That's still an absurdly cheap price, <$40 per sq ft? like cheaper than a mobile home. That's 1970s price for a tract home. Scrantelous!

PRADA SLUT posted:nice I always wanted a erect wall cock Ah, excellent choice! Historically, that's an old marital aid. Couples would rub the scrotum for good luck in producing heirs before retiring to bed. You'll note the gilding has fully worn away, exposing the white stone beneath it.

TofuDiva posted:I think it's a square grand piano Yeah, it's a square grand piano. My wife's family has one, and I looked into getting it tuned at one point, and most tuners won't touch them. There are a few specialized places that do work on them, but it's not cheap. They're all 100+ years old at this point and there's quite a lot that needs replacing if you want to get an old one into playable condition.

My parents have a square grand that dates back to the 1880s. If I remember correctly it's difficult to find someone to tune one, namely because few tuners have even seen one.

I found this home: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1141-Stuart-Rd-Princeton-NJ-08540/39009741_zpid/ I actually think it looks kind of neat.    They've kind of got this angle aesthetic going.   They really like that angle thing.  They also like the siding indoors thing.  More angles. Also sunken tub for the I think they somehow did it without compromising the joists though. EVERYTHING MUST BE ANGLED.  This photo was near the end, instead of with the other kitchen photos. The stained glass chicken stands out in this house.
