Also in the description,

"This manufactured home will require some updates."

Definitely a bulldozer is needed :D

That's 100% not a tear down reno. It just needs new flooring and some paint. Probably $5k tops.

[–] ElleChaise@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

A soggy, 20 year old trailer is absolutely a tear down, even if it's in quite a bit better shape than this one IMHO. Those things have glued in panels that turn to roach sugar, I've never seen one over 15 years old, regardless of how clean the tenants/owners kept their living space, that didn't have a massive roach infestation hiding somewhere.

Does the toilet look to long to anyone else?

[–] fkn@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a bariatric toilet and the image is weirdly compressed.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

I had to Google that but, apparently, that's definitely a thing. I suppose I should have realised that with bigger arses come bigger toilets.

[–] cabbagee@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The image is compressed vertically.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pity, I was hoping for long toilets to be a thing for some reason.

For when you had too much fiber and get the exact amount of Courics.

Lol no joke something just like this sold for $650k CAD near me

I guess I have to wait for another recession to buy a house

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yowch.

My good friends bought a house that had been shown on Hoarders and they had to empty out the prior owner’s belongings after they died. They said that this person just opened up some drawers and their cat had been using them as a shitbox for months without being emptied. A million other such gross details. I helped them out in day by going over there to wipe out their kitchen cabinets with bleach. By that time the stuff has mostly been emptied out. They said that there had been a refrigerator there, sitting unplugged and full of rotten food but the door was closed and the seal intact. So they tried to just get the whole damn fridge out to the curb and hauled away.

But! They got it to the doorway and it was one inch too wide so of course they had to open up the fridge and take its door off to make it narrower. No dead bodies inside but there might as well have been.

I have done hurricane disaster relief before, and I can attest that there is no smell on this planet that equates to a refrigerator unplugged for several weeks but still intact

Free murder carpet.

[–] alex@jlai.lu 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

At least the price is justified for once

[–] Smoogy@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If it was anywhere except Mississippi.

I can smell the Luminol off the carpet.

[–] Synthuir@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Oh neat, SCP-173’s containment chamber is up for sale! I wonder where he wen—

[–] Humblyorganised88@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I've fixed up worse, not for the feint of heart for sure!

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

This is so uncanny. I love it. I just wouldn't want to live in Liminal space

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Seems they've misunderstood shelfie.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I mean, it’s only $40,000. I’m sure you could get a loan for $60,000 to fix it up.

[–] pbjamm@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The only thing that could fix that up is a fire.

[–] SuperSleuth@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You could find much better property for $100,000 in Mississippi.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Oh I mean the total loan would be $60k. $20k to fix it up.

I dunno. Whatever. Point is it’s not as bad as some of the stuff I’ve seen on here.
