I wanted a beach house that would be comfortable, simple to maintain, small enough to be cozy, however large enough to entertain in; I didn’t feel I was asking too much, however apparently I was wrong… Every house I went into over the expanse of a week, had something wrong with it.
- I wasn’t happy with the way the house was set up, or with the carpeting.
I found one that had a gaping hole in the roof. I knew our budget wasn’t the best, and I didn’t want a fixer-upper, however this was getting ridiculous; One afternoon, our realtor called and told myself and others he found the perfect house for me. It was in a location I would love, and it was everything I asked for. I agreed to meet his there when I got off work, however when I pulled up to the house, I became excited, going through the house made myself and others more excited. It was everything I asked for, however then he took myself and others in the basement; The basement was completely redone, and I knew I could entertain down there. There was a bar, a pool table that went with the house, and room to dance and play games… She then showed myself and others the furnace room. The furnace was ancient, and I wasn’t happy. I told his I wanted a furnace that would last myself and others for at least more than four years. I couldn’t afford to put a new one in. Then I asked about the cooling system, which there wasn’t any. She told myself and others the people I was with and I could negotiate and see if the owners would have a new central HVAC installed, however I would need to pay the full price.
