'We bought a house that was built back in 1947 and were charmed to death with what we then saw as 'character'...'
shared even more annoying home features that make them shake their heads every day. Here's what people had to say:"First time homeowner, bought from an older couple that inherited and then sort of half-flipped the house. Everything was mostly great for a few months, then the brand new dishwasher stopped working mysteriously. Asked my dad to check it out, he was mystified.
"Meaning you’d turn a valve, the gas would come out, and you’d light it to actually light the room. I couldn’t believe such an obvious fire hazard ever existed. You could see discoloration on some of the walls from burns! There were so many outdated things in that home — too long to put here, but it was quite an adventure for our family.""The first night I slept in my home I was woken up in the middle of the night of a train horn that sounded like it was coming through my house.
"And you better hope you don't want to wash anything big, like large pots/pans or removable-for-cleaning parts of the fridge, because you have to use the sprayer, and you'll be mopping up the counter and floor afterward. I've been dying to remodel this kitchen since day one.""My parents added an addition onto a 3-bed/1-bath one-story home that my dad designed and built with the plan for a five-person family one day.
"The kitchen light fixture is a fluorescent tube light fixture. To change a bulb, it takes two people as the cover has to be unscrewed at either end has there is no way to keep it in place or keep it from falling. Takes two to hold it in place and rescrew it on. And who in their right mind puts pale beige carpet throughout a house that has hard wood floors?""Every single outlet in our 1964 house is upside down. Like in the hospital.
