Cue the HGTV show... "and this is what $10,800 will buy you in Rhode Island"... "but now let's go to Detroit to see the palatial mansion you can get for the same $10,800."
I was about to go on something of a rant about how putting down a canvas drop cloth, and simply removing that freaking hazard would take all of ten minutes, fifteen if you're hyper-careful by nature.
Then I saw the listing price, calculated the likely commission and realized that ...yeah, I don't blame the agent for not risking stitches to make a sale more likely.
The bank needs to clear out the safety hazards, at least. I get the "as is" but even at basically 11k, that shower door makes that place far less appealing. It's actually not that torn up. Get rid of the door and unload your property, bank.

Nothing like great shards of broken glass to add a little excitement and danger to your quotidian shower. You won't need your cup o' joe after this! (Um, because you'll be dead, not because you'll be so freaking invigorated.)

Is all of Providence so bleak? That streetscape looks like Brooklyn in the 1970s.

Finally, an exfoliating solution for a real man. I can trade in that sissy loofah sponge now.

Single family home in rear only ! Front house currently under contract. Public water service fed by connection to front house.
I'm confused. So I'd have to live in the back, without any water?
Maybe that's why the shower door is broken... "Argh! No water! Again!" **smash**

"Baseboard heating" appears to have gone MIA.

Thus the danger of those damned shower radios and the urge to dance on a wet, soapy surface next to a plate of glass.
