Tonight we viewed yet another home in search for our new place to live. Here is a picture of the place.
You may be thinking that it kind of looks like a funeral home and well, that is because it kind of is. Technically it is the apartment that you can't see that is above the funeral home.
It was an interesting place. On the upside it was a huge apartment with three large bedrooms, one small bedroom, lots of closets, a big living room, and a lot of character. On the downside it was a little run down, didn't have washer and dryer hookups, didn't have a dishwasher (why can't I find a place with a dishwasher!), had a super small kitchen, and we got the impression that some of the plumbing and electric may not quite be regulation.
Oh yeah...also on the downside - it is above a funeral home, which could be a little bit weird.
As a testament to our weirdness as a family, we thought about it for a good hour before we talked ourselves out of it.
As a poor testament to our 80's upbringing, the phrase I ain't scared of no ghosts! was never used, but only because neither one of us thought of it at the time.
My uncle is a funeral director, so growing up with my cousins, I spent a lot more time inside a funeral home than most. So, although still odd, I don't find it as creepy as a lot of people would. However, I'm with you on the dishwasher, and I have to be able to do laundry at home.
