Siblings keeping an eye on us.
Mostly pretty nice this week. For me the winners are the windows, skylights and glass doors in some of them. Runners up are some of the bath tiling and fixtures, if not the whole baths. Third place goes to topiary and outdoor spaces.
Loser is having to walk up 77 steps to get to my front door. With groceries, ‘cuz I doubt if you could get Safeway to deliver. Or even with several dozen helium balloons to cartoonishly carry me along.
I wish that the stairs came with actual histories of injuries. I’d be fascinated to see how many of these monsters turned on the madmen who created them, sending them on a muchly deserved trip to the ER.
I like the Pueblo house with giant statuary, but only if you get rid of all the furniture. The tub is pretty, though I’m sure I’d never use it. And have no idea how you’d even get in it.
Ohhh castle house. But the kitchen sucked
