Another house we're not going to buy. It's on a nice tree-lined block, it's beside a school, it's one storey, and it looks pretty good, ¿no?
Well, you enter and the right-hand side is trees and patio all the way back (el sr J says the patio tiles would have to be replaced). Most of the trees bear some kind of edible fruit.
The rooms are on the left-hand side and they get dicier as you go. In one room, the ceiling/roof was mostly gone.
The owners are living like campesinos in the middle of the city.
I asked about the hot water heater, since I didn't notice one. There it was, tiny, in a dark corner. They heat water with leña (firewood)! Wonder where they get that. Firewood is in short supply around here. Maybe they use trimmings from the trees in the patio. I'm guessing they don't bathe too often, at least not in hot water. There were about 6 little yapping dogs inside and maybe 50 birds in cages.
Look at that floor though. Just the kind I want, and it's in good shape.
Trees and floors are good, but not enough. Onward and upward.
