Today's inspection reminded me of Monty Hall and Let's Make a deal!

"Bubba, you and Sally Sue have one final decision to make. You've already won a brand new Ford F-350 pickum up truck, a one-year supply of gasoline for your brand new Ford
F-350 pickum up truck, a 100-inch plasma television, a vacation for three to Rio de Janeiro, and a 10-year supply of Kraft macaroni & cheese. Do you want to keep all that, or trade it all in for what's behind Curtain #1, Curtain #2, or Curtain #3?"

Curtain #1 Curtain #2 Curtain #3

"Monty, I think we're gonna havta talk about this for a couple of minutes."

[a couple of minutes later]

"Okay, Bubba and Sally Sue! What's it going to be? Keep what you already have, or trade it all in for what's behind Curtain #1, Curtain #2, or Curtain #3?"

"Well, Monty, I wanted what's behind Curtain #2, but Sally Sue here wanted what's behind Curtain #1, so we're going to compromise and choose Curtain #3. Sally Sue thinks we can't go wrong with a royal purple curtain."

"Alright, then, Curtain #3 it is. Let's see what's behind that royal purple curtain, Curtain #3!"

You've just traded everything in for a brand new throne.

Looks like the outhouse in the basement. Must be a cold area where the guys can't hang around outside. Oops. I just looked. LaMesa. Wow. Weird.

Tell me that was  just a joke and not for real? I always enjoyed Let's Make A Deal.

Russel, I can certainly see why they would argue over #1 and #2:)

Hi Russell

Looks like curtain number three is a winner, everyone should have in what I assume is a john in the middle of a basement. It may be a one of a kind which could cause a buyer to so to speak jump on it.

Good luck and success

Oh my!  That is too funny.  I occasionally come across a funny thing or two... but this is hysterical!

It would be better if it were a basement, but I've only found one basement here in San Diego, although I'm sure there are a few more. In this case, that throne for royalty was in the garage.

Russel,

I have seen that one before. I have even done one house where there was no privacy at all....not even a curtain. Anyone walking downstairs to the finished basement would have a swell view.
