That house is a fine example of everything that was wrong with that era, take it from a child of the eighties that wore side ponytails, played with Sea Monkeys and those hideous troll dolls!

What's crazy is that a lot of that style is coming back in. That shag carpet? Well, come see any brand new built home and that's what it's got. I know, shocking....but it's back. I love the idea of vacuuming AND raking. Because really now, we girls have nothing better to do with our time than rake whilst belly dancing.L&Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300904977347356094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-74415306180091897412008-11-19T12:40:00.000-07:002008-11-19T12:40:00.000-07:00Uh.....NO!Love your tour, though..Uh.....NO!<BR/>Love your tour, though..Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599043861484871206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-7086554572177569782008-11-19T11:36:00.000-07:002008-11-19T11:36:00.000-07:00Vicki: I was wondering if anyone else would start...Vicki: I was wondering if anyone else would start seeing snake themed carpeting.<BR/><BR/>Caroline: Would you believe .24 acres? <BR/><BR/>It is up against government forest land, and is in what is considered to be a "toney" neighborhood.<BR/><BR/>Sara: Whatever woman onced lived there is long gone. A hot motorcycle was in the gargage, and like most horrendous houses, it is apparently being rented by some guys who don't give a fig for home decoration. The stuff on the hearth was probably left over from maybe an estate sale. <BR/><BR/>Anyone out there hanking to buy this place?

Because I'm thinking they have a heck of a lot of nerve charging over $300,000 for a house that obviously needs to be completely gutted and have all the appliances (that are older than me by the looks of them) replaced.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457487239082794082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-5092339499156427272008-11-18T23:25:00.000-07:002008-11-18T23:25:00.000-07:00Okay, that should be sold for a movie set.

Loved your commentary - made me laugh. <BR/>I am just amazed there are so many of these homes still in existence! The reno market could make a killing in SLC should people there ever realize they could renovate!<BR/>Still praying! I see he has answered my prayer about your sense of humour!

I'm so glad things have changed since then!<BR/><BR/>But, what on earth was that lamp near the pool table all about? I've never seen any lighting fixture quite so astonishing!

Although I think they would have been most impressed with your complementary appraisal of their home but my giggles would surely have tipped them off that you were hardly serious !!! <BR/>Oh.. yes..
