This house would have been within our budget, but there were a few things that made it hard to swallow. This house is being offered furnished, and in addition to the pictured furniture (don't worry moms, the broken glass on that dish cabinet is taped), two of the three bedrooms came with built in armoires. perhaps the French would cringe at that word used in this case -- they were brick walls covered in cement and painted, like much of the rest of the house, leaving little interior room for clothes, etc, in addition to the questionably pleasing exterior.
But the real kicker (or shall I say head-butt-er?) was the door-jam between the dining room and the kitchen, just behind the dish cabinet pictured. Even after being warned, I still got a goose egg on it. I checked it afterwards, and standing straight, it comes to the bridge of my nose (about 5' 8"). I guess I should be glad I didn't get a broken nose on it... Turns out all the people working on the house are significantly less than 6' 1", and no one noticed that it might be a problem for someone like me.

Welcome to my world. ... If you don't find another good alternative, you might try ducking, slouching or wearing a hat in the house to protect your head. ;)
"Good times! Noodle salad..." Looks like you've been working hard. Hoping something works out well for you! Michelle
