Does Tomato Juice Work on all Kinds of Smells?

I am so grossed out right now, grossed out with a capital G. The condition that some people allow their houses to be in when they show them to potential buyers is astounding to me.

It goes like this - one house will have a good yard and be in a good neighborhood, but is crappy inside. Then the next house has a crappy yard and it’s next to a crack house, but is awesome inside. Now I know yards can be changed, but the crack business next door is another thing. It’s like I just can’t win.

We went into this one house that was a bank repo and the owners had left their cats in it. Just left them in there to piss on the floor and really smell the place up. Oh my good the stench was terrible. I started to dry heave when we walked in. It was like the people thought – “fine the man is taking my house, so take this man.” But I’m not the man, I’m just a first-time home buyer – the man has nothing to do with me, so why you gotta be hating?

The one I did like had been renovated and the add-ons where totally hodgepodge to the house. It was too bad because it had the most potential of the 12 I looked at. Well if by good I mean that the roof would have to be totally redone so that it would look like one unit instead of three all pieced together like a puzzled on crack.

Needless to say I am not pulling an offer on any of them and I’ve taken a shower and washed my hair twice because I’m convinced that the cat pee jumped from the floor and on to my body.
