    You missed all the walls they tore down because “open concept”.

      It’s a shame too, because fewer walls means fewer places to hang creepy portraits whose eyes follow you around the room.

      … without consulting a structural engineer and one of those walls was supporting.

        I had a coworker who joked that you could tell if a post is load bearing because the saw gets stuck when you are cutting through it.

      Oh yea. I just LOVE being able to hear EVERYTHING going on in the house. All the different TVs people are watching.

    Everyone loves the idea of living in an old house until they realize that there’s only 3 electrical outlets in the whole place, everything is insulated with asbestos, and everything is painted with lead.

      I stayed in an old house in the UK where the owner had to get the windows and doors adjusted every year because the house was moving so much all the opening size would change.

        Great roommates, also make sure you get an ouija board and remind them to pay rent every month.

      I’d love a modern house, with the detailed craftsmanship of old. Who wants a bland white wall? Give me some fancy wood details and comfy furniture with a bit of character.

        Best I can do is wood paneling and furniture with mystery stains.

        Just saw this. I was surprised I really liked it. Story was more interesting than I imagined. I figured it was just another cash grab.

        Michael Keaton is 73 and he fucking killed it.

    Are a lot of ghosts just hanging underground given how man made structures tend to sink over time?
