⚡ACHTUNG!⚡ Real Estate opportunity for EG

11,000 sq ft and a kitchen the size of a postage stamp. Fuck that. Pass.
 
Isn't that description misleading? It looks like multiple buildings on a lot, the pics show a bunch of tiny rooms except for like 1. Yeah, fuck that.
 
His estate also auctioned a bunch of his shit. A coffee youtuber I follow paid an exorbitant amount for a shitty plastic espresso machine. It brewed terrible coffee.

Yeah but it's David Lynch's espresso machine. It's bragging rights, like when George Costanza thought he bought Jon Voight's Chrylser LeBaron.

Many years ago my wife dragged me to an estate sale for a house where Amelia Earhart used to live. I don't think her family owned it or anything, she just used to live there. People were cleaning out everything. I mean, they were selling the planks out of the floor of this place, it was insane. I didn't get anything but I almost picked a tool out of the basement just so I could tell people I owned Amelia Earhart's claw hammer or whatever it was.
 
I can't say I care about owning something of some famous or quasi famous person.

Speaking of "owned by" stuff though, I have some stuff from my grandparents. The obvious stuff, jewelry, cast iron.....but one of the odd things I have that I'm kinda nostalgic about are some old bin/tub things (just like the one large one on the right) in the pic below. My grandfather (the grandparent I was closest to), would use them for carrying raked leaves for as long as I can remember. I use them occasionally, but mostly they sit in the shed.

Anyway, I recently used one of the bins for some overflow of yard debris for the city to pick up along with a couple garbage cans full of yard debris. I didn't take them back off the curb the same day the city picked it up. A couple days later.....

and some cunt stole my grandfather's tub.

Ugh that sucks. I remember being bathed in one of those as a little kid at my grandparents house
 
I've talked to most of the people who go on walks in the neighborhood who'd have walked by my house. Have a hard time believing one of them would do it, they're all old. But being at the front, people pull in here all the time to turn around, use the phone, change a tire, not to mention the numerous solicitations (I get at least 1 tree crew/sales pitch a week, plus power washers and lawn crews). So it may have just been a theft of convenience. Still, I fucking hate people. The other tub is staying in my shed.

Was it on the side of the road? Maybe they thought it was being thrown away.
 
Yeah trash pandas do drive bys. It’s prolly in some blogger moms front yard with pumpkins and a washing board in it
 
I'd be all for whatever I could afford to pay the taxes on. Most of those castles and estates are vacant in Europe because they couldn't afford the property taxes on their generational homes. So fucked up.
 
Its not really property taxes as much as the renovation (like adding running water etc) and upkeep of something 500 years old, primarily getting contractors to do the work and do it in a timely fashion. A friend was building a new house in france and it was literally 2 years behind schedule.
 
Maintenance or renovation, yeah it's a big issue. But I've read quite a few stories over the years of the families themselves saying they weren't wealthy enough to pay the property taxes of the estates. The water/sewer stuff is a given, the design alone would be a fucking nightmare. I know a little something about that design and it'd be ugly, with exposed piping being near impossible to avoid without simply disguising them :lol:

It always comes back to the $$. These are no longer the families that controlled massive amounts of lands and taxed their plebes. Now they're just average people, most who lost their fortune. If they had the money, they wouldn't have let it fall into disrepair over the years. I mean, if you have the money to make it happen, 2 years in a centuries old castle is nothing to wait or they could simply pay more to skip the line. Any contractor will take it in a heart beat.
