Some things Just Can't Be Explained


It didn't take us long to discover some rather unusual things about Sylvia.

First we knew that she had had several short term owners and that at least one of them had demolished most of the original interior. But, there were still some things that defied logical explanation


Example.. the pipe to nowhere.....


Yes that's a PVC pipe and yes it is hanging out of the ceiling at the end of the kitchen cupboards. Odd to say the least  but even stranger was the fact that it went through the roof and had no cap! Can we say water water come on in? No explanation as to why it was left this way or as to why there wasn't a cap on the roof



Maybe they ran out of wire?


Yes that's an electrical switch box and yes it is dangling from the ceiling about 18 inches from the wall. We have no explanation why it was left like this but it does work and turns on the one ceiling light in the kitchen / dining area. There is a second fixture in the room but it apparently has no wiring leading to anything... More on that light later..


They took out the bathroom fan and left the leak

This is the bathroom ceiling as it was when we purchased the home. They had removed the vent fan and not repaired damage. Worse yet there was a bad roof leak right over this and they never fixed that either. Why? We can only wonder.
