Recall upscaled little guest house in CA, and dedicated bathroom was in the separate building. elevated screen was installed in the way from bedroom to bathroom - if you run to bathroom naked-just legs are visible, still...too kinky for my taste. Guest house well seen from main house.

Cat poop waiting to greet us as we entered the foyer.

A dance floor (10x10 wooden dance floor) in the living room

Chicken Coop in the closet

Fireplace painted in a zebra motif

All at different houses.

The Painter - the throne house was in Hamilton, NJ and I found out they buillt it that way because of some type of plumbing problem

PFW - I also saw a house with a dance floor in the kitchen but the owner was using it for his machine shop - he has some sort of big grinding machine on a wood floor in a corner of the rec room - right in the house! It should have been in a garage or machine shop.

You had to go through saloon doors in order to get to the toilet in the bathroom. It was like this in ALL the bathrooms.

One of my friends had these in their house in the 70s. Maybe it was a fad?

One of the houses that a friend looked at advertised that there were four bedrooms. Well, there were four bedrooms but one of them had the washer/dryer against the wall. Not even in a closet -- it was out in the room.

Okay.. East Oakland. Look around, nice little house, some things missing but OK, it's a foreclosure. There's a bedroom upstairs. Go up, and look around - it's all pink, purple, floral, cute.. and there are six gunshot holes in the window on the inside.

Can we keep this going? Need more humor in this thread.
