A Mansion for the Backwards

I wish I could buy this mansion and have my own school for Nervous and Backward Adult Children.

Landmark Bourn Mansion (2550 Webster) Listed And Your Peek Inside
dungeon? i had to look that up to be sure... it has a very specific definition (a room used to imprison people). i hope he means basement!

Dungeons are called "oubliettes" in French. A very cute name meaning you'd dump people (for instance unruly servants) in there and forget ("oublier") about them.
Another more common usage was as a meat storage room. In some cold regions, you'd lay a depth of snow, throw cattle or game carcasses over, one layer of snow, one layer of meat, and so on. The food would stay cold way into the spring.
I don't know which of the 2 usages he was talking about, but I'd open the dungeon doors with extreme precaution.

Sweet Bonus™!

As noted by Casey himself as well as Wagga, he has a new site and a fabulous new hairdo. Is that the same blue shirt he has been wearing for nearly 2 years?
As we wait in anticipation for a new (unmoderated) blog as well, how about another 6 Degrees of Casey Serin game? Suggestions?

Collapsed Pool

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!
Wouldn't Akubi look adorably pissed off in this Hello Kitty™ costume?


While browsing for Sweet Deals™ I discovered this gem. If you're tempted to snap it up, I'm sorry to say it is in firm escrow.

I just love the description of this lovely house:
WARNING, the pool in the rear of yard has collapsed in on itself. The pool deck arond the pool is very dangerous. We are advising that you not enter the rear yard, and if you do enter the rear yard, you are doing so at your own risk. The City of Petaluma may be requiring a soils report.
According to Zillow someone just paid 465K for this POS on 11/30/2007. There must be another Casey out there.


Speaking of Sweet Deals™, upon closer examination my latest find isn't all that impressive. They did a half-ass job on the foundation and ruined the feng shui of the living room by adding a stairway to the "loft" in the attic and didn't bother to obtain permits. When I crawled under the house I discovered that parts of the foundation looked as bad as this one.

My Sweet Deal sans Toilet

While I don’t think anyone else would, I love this place. It is in one of my highly desirable locations in the shade of the redwoods and is super-cheap by any comp standards, but it lacks a few things – like a bathroom. Since my real estate agent no longer responds to my email, I was pleased to note that the lockbox was nothing more than a ruse this evening. A basement door allowed accidental entry – and I found a lot of potential extra space I wouldn’t have imagined in the bottom floor. Of course, a decent foundation might be needed, but it’s a sweet f-ing deal. Once I crawled up from the basement and let my BF in, he wasn’t all that impressed and seemed more concerned with not falling through the floorboards. Tried to remind him of local Zestimates and such to no avail…
