- They fix it up right on This Old House all the time. If that's any indication of the average contractor... -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Oct 11, 13:04 5

  - That's This Old House. They use the best contractors in the coutnry. -- nm - the liioulu with cds Oct 11, 13:05
  - fine print "average contractor that is being filmed." -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 13:05
good point. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:00 6
- Sadly, I know from picking up management for rentals. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 13:01 5
  - *nods* - znufrii Oct 11, 13:04 4
    - I'll be interested to find out if this is just coming on the market after the reno/development of the rest of the property - znufrii Oct 11, 13:06
    - Don't get me wrong, there is every likelyhood that it is right. - The Ruiner Oct 11, 13:06 2
      - half of what I've learned from HGTV is knowing what to look for and asking the right questions - znufrii Oct 11, 13:07 1
        
        what if the realtor is on the HGTV tricks? -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 13:08
There's something about the bathrooms that doesn't look quite right to me. - the liioulu with cds Oct 11, 12:59 6
- thos positioning of the fixtures is weird, I'll give you that. -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:02 4
  - The back-to-back sinks don't seem to be usable at the same time. Which makes them no more convenient than a single. -- nm - mara Oct 11, 13:04 3
    - Yeah, one sink can't be used at all unless the door is closed. - CovingtonCat Oct 11, 13:10
    - more importantly... - znufrii Oct 11, 13:09 1
      - There is no mirror in the other bathroom either. Was the previous owner blind? -- nm - decline Oct 11, 13:11
- Yup. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 11, 13:00
