We called them "Ed Specials" at my parents house, after the previous owner. They included:

A fake fireplace (fake stone thing shaped like a fireplace, with horrible plastic logs that lit up with a lightbulb) secured to the wall with an extensive tangle of twisted wire. It was a pain and a half getting that out.

Carpet in the bathrooms. Not just any carpet. Deep, plush carpet. We changed that out as soon as possible. Who the gently caress puts carpet in the bathrooms?

Massively unsafe wiring in the kitchen. We basically had to redo it all.

Kitchen cabinets cut short to fit something--we don't know what--under them. Like, they literally sawed off part of the cabinet and the door, then put a new bottom in. They were ugly as poo poo.

Carpet in the kitchen. At least this was tight knit stuff, but still. Not exactly sanitary.



Oh! And one from my house! It used to be my grandparents; they bought it back in the 50s. Built another big room out over the garage and an addition at the back. They never updated the tiny 40s furnace. Or air conditioning.

We didn't know anything was wrong until after my grandmother died and I moved in. The electric bills were absurd. Four, five hundred dollars to keep the house comfortable. We replaced the climate control stuff and, welp. Now I pay like seventy bucks.
