I'm not sure why Hick was talking to our Realtor again, but he let out another off-hand comment on Friday evening. I don't think he understands this whole "investment partners" deal we have with The Pony concerning the Double Hovel. You'd think all parties would be apprised of any developments or information gathered by one of the three partners.
"Oh, I talked to Realtor. She said she showed the house to a couple, and the reasons they gave for not being interested were that the ceilings are too low, and the bathroom is off the living room."
"Well. It's not like you're going to rip off the roof and raise the ceilings. Or knock out walls again and change the floor plan. So it's good to know it's nothing about the way you've done the floor or walls. It's a livable house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Somebody will want it."
"Yeah. What's wrong with a bathroom off the living room?"
"Would they rather only have ONE bathroom? I don't think so. Who wants people traipsing through their bedroom to get to the bathroom? Where else were you supposed to put the half-bath, off the kitchen?"
"I don't know. But that's what they said."
"She probably asked them, to see if it was something minor that could be changed."
"Maybe."
I'm glad those people at least took a chance on touring the property. You would think that they drove by first, before scheduling a showing. Surely they could tell from outside that these houses would not have vaulted ceilings. Still, not throwing shade. People want what they want, and should get what they want, for such a large investment.
