I “gumped” into something today…
That is my term for discovering something significant that I wasn’t even looking for. It comes from the move “Forest Gump.”
I wanted to look at our new house during lunch today. My first thought was to go back to the hyperlink to the actual listing…
It no longer works…
Hmmm…what to do…
Got it…let’s try “Google Street”! I typed in the address and sure enough, up came the picture.
There was the little yellow house…
with the two car garage…
and the three big windows in that beautiful master bedroom with the 13′ ceiling. Yes! I am going to like this house. Then I noticed something…
“That looks like a room air conditioner in the center window of the master bedroom…
That is a room air conditioner in the center window of the master bedroom!…
I wonder why that is there? The house has central air…”
Gradually, it dawned on me…
“That master bedroom must get REALLY hot!”
That ain’t gonna work! I might as well just sit on the back deck and light $10 bills on fire.
I had Tank activate the house remodeling program in my brain (think of the movie, “The Matrix”).
Although my wife might not be very happy initially, I have a sneaky suspicion that the 13′ ceiling is going “bye, bye”!
I’m sure I’ll take heat initially (pun intended) but I think she will eventually agree with me that a wonderfully insulated 10′ ceiling that you can actually see is much prettier to look at than a 13′ ceiling that you cannot see!
What do you mean, you don’t understand???
Have you ever tried to look at something when your eyes are filled with sweat dripping off of your forehead?
I rest my case!
