Wrecch Manor

Lydia and Dan are house shopping. Perennially. They're never NOT house shopping. Is their house a little ugly one? Not at all. They have a nice, big house in the historic district. However, they want a nicer, bigger house in the toniest neighborhood of them all. Now, after endless trips to see this and that house, they finally made an offer and put down earnest money.

So what's the house like, the one they want to buy? It is horrible beyond hope.
The roof not only leaks. It has holes. Rain actually has poured down through three floors of house into the basement. Since it rained today, there was rain water everywhere. The floors are all wiggly and wobbly and sag underfoot. Mold is visible everywhere, thick, black mold.

In each room, one sees dreadful dingbats of furniture/appliances/the stuff of daily life. Whoever lived there, just walked out and left his clothes, computer, everything. Who is this guy? He's the anchor for Channel 10, WAVY News. ????? Hmmm.

So why would anyone try to buy something like this? Because it is a house of great, romantic charm. It drips...oops...with character. Once all fixed up, it would be a magnificent home. Bedrooms, bathrooms, dressing rooms, offices, sitting rooms, play rooms for one and all, delightfully arranged...although leaking and moldy just now.
