The One That Got Away #2, Part 2

I still like this barn at that same property in Goshen.
But posting this edition of "The One That Got Away" has me reflecting on just how weird our entire real estate experience was. Do other people share such travails as full sized pigs in the middle of prospective living rooms? (Actually in the photos of the house up online if one knew what one was looking at!) Real estate agents that run around the sides of houses screaming? (That one got to Bob). We looked at loads of houses- I do mean lots and lots!!!- and most of them had issues, situations and anomalies. I suppose the charming combination of small budget and many requirements offers a peculiar and choice selection. Sch as the house in Northfield we looked at that lacked floors. And walls. We debated living in the kitchen... Or the other real estate woman who blithely waved off our concerns about the moldy walls in the bedroom with a blithe, "Oh, there's mold and then there's mold!". Ultimately, the whole "liveability factor" took precedent and I think we made the right decision.
