dead mice



Jeff and I saw fourteen houses yesterday. I brought my digital camera and a notebook and kept notes so we'd remember which house was which: "Suspiciously friendly dog." "Beside co-op construction site." "Troll in garden." etc.
Hey, there's a steel drum band on the street across from our building. They started playing while I was typing this. Rehearsing or performing? This area's pretty dead on Sunday mornings, so I assume rehearsing. But I digress.
We've only been out twice with the real estate agent on house-hunting expeditions, but I'm already picking up some interesting bits of knowledge, such as:
- Jeff likes creaky floors. I hate creaky floors.
- A lot more people use Mac computers than I thought.
- A house can be too big.
- A house we'd normally think was pretty boring-looking looks great to us if it's on a street lined with mature trees.
One of the houses we looked had a dead mouse on the back porch. This was not a selling feature.
Hope you're all having a great weekend.
