Do I want to know what that is hanging from the ceiling?

I think it is decidedly unfair to call this a fixer-upper.
Clearly, the owner was a meticulous house keeper with a place for everything and everything in its place...and I do mean everything.
The owner was obviously a staunch environmentalist who abhorred sending anything to a landfill – preferring to recycle architectural components as well as the mundane cans and bottles.
I wonder if it has been in this condition since the last major earthquake in SF.
I always assume that realtors are trying to hide something about the property. If a realtor writes "Enter at your own risk," and shows pictures like that, what could they possibly be hiding?
"Enter at your own risk. " it says on the listing. What a steal at $429,000! Seriously, how does ANYONE afford living in San Francisco?? SF is a wonderful place, but this is nuts. How could anyone afford this and fix it up to live in unless they made several million per year?

That's not a fixer-upper, it's a tearer-downer!

What's hanging from the ceiling? I think those are stockings that are drying. However, that would imply that someone actually washed something in that kitchen. So, yeah, I got nothin.
What no one complaining about the price has pointed out is that this house is 460 square feet. 3 rooms. Which means that in each pile of scrap must be something worth about $150,000. Maybe this is the wheelhouse of that uranium mine I always thought was in Visitacion Valley. Wow, we're all going to be rich!
Hi Sara, I have something for you over at my blog...even if you don't get into awards, I wanted to give you one anyways because your blog is just so funny! I hope my intro of it on my blog will send over more people so they can laugh, too:)

I'm afraid to ask what he died of.
It's been a little slow at work recently. Thanks for helping pass the time!

No, T, I really don't think you do.
August 22, 2008 at 11:49 AM
Are all these repos?

Do you date?

Looks like a meth lab!

r2K: no.

anonymous: some of them are bank-owned, which means they were foreclosed.

The San Francisco real estate market is officially INSANE!!! $429,000 and you must enter at your own risk.
I still have no idea what the outside of this house looks like...is it that slanty building?
August 22, 2008 at 12:14 PM
I have a horrible feeling the "decedent" is still in there somewhere. I was going to take a guess at location but frankly could be anywhere!
August 22, 2008 at 12:27 PM
oh LOL: "enter at your own risk"
no kidding!
August 22, 2008 at 12:31 PM
Sweet fancy St. Joseph, that is NASTY!
August 22, 2008 at 1:00 PM

What I can't believe is that you posted the best photo of the batch!
August 22, 2008 at 1:21 PM
don't act like your kitchen never looked like that... :P haha
(but of course they should've cleaned it before taking that picture)
August 22, 2008 at 1:34 PM
Rustic charm.

how frightening that this seems to be the least offensive photo of the bunch! YIKES!
August 22, 2008 at 2:19 PM
Yes please, PBJ. Only don't make it over near the buckets, I think the ceiling is leaking and I HATE soggy bread!
August 22, 2008 at 2:53 PM
Dad!
August 22, 2008 at 3:15 PM
I can only imagine the smell. Hold me!
August 22, 2008 at 3:40 PM
So this is where E.Coli lives. Wonder if Samonella is a room mate?
August 22, 2008 at 3:58 PM
Ohhhhh - how sad! I'll bet there are some dead cats in there - and dead dogs - and.........
August 22, 2008 at 4:38 PM
So do all the lucky lookie loos get a tetanus shot before they enter? That seems like a reasonable perk to offer at the "open house," no?
August 22, 2008 at 5:28 PM
What immediately struck me was the presence of three receptacles, at least one complete with bin liner and all three completely empty ...

August 22, 2008 at 7:32 PM

August 22, 2008 at 8:07 PM

August 22, 2008 at 8:32 PM

Well,hey you get to keep all that stuff, plus all the stuff in the ... living room (?) all for only what a mere $429k.
August 23, 2008 at 3:19 PM
OMG....YOU MUST BE KIDDING !!!!!!! I would offer them $ 10.00
August 23, 2008 at 5:57 PM
"conservatorship sale" -- does that mean we have to preserve it as-is? o_o
I think if I had to buy this house, I would end up living in a hot air balloon tethered safely above the property.
August 25, 2008 at 8:55 AM
OMG! that is soooo gross!!! how could one live in a home like that???
August 25, 2008 at 11:05 AM
Most junk yards are outside, but these people are no-conformists and keep theirs inside where it's safe and dry.
