There are times when a kludge is necessary. For example, you’re stuck in the middle of the woods and just tumbled into a ravine and judging from that white bit protruding from your leg, a temporary cast made from a stick and some duct tape will suffice until you either get to help or a bear eats you. Sometimes, a kludge is just easier. Or funnier. But trying to sell your house should not be one of those times. Luckily for us, my friend Sara has a blog to point out that common sense when it comes to real estate is pretty uncommon. Check out these gems:
I’m not entirely sure what the point to this contraption is. Log flume for mice? Sluicing for gold? Hand pump because the indoor plumbing hasn’t worked in twenty odd years?
Nothing says “Vermin Free” home like mosquito netting that’s so well used it must now be sealed shut with clothespins. I’m sure it’s just to give the bedroom that Malarian ambiance everyone is raving about this season.
Realtors aren’t even immune from temporary kludge insanity. Curb appeal not up to par? What prospective buyer could resist the addition of some poorly rendered flowers? Or are those spent .50 caliber bullet casings?
