...that looks pretty modestly-sized in the foreground, honestly...

...only three hundred grand for a house which violates the f*ck out of international building code, fire code, and life safety code; nice!..
...what are the odds of even more egregious DIY violations of electricial, mechanical, and plumbing code which we can't see in casual realtor photos?..

...i remember going to our computer lab in the early nineties and seeing a flyer about this new protocol called the world wide web, thinking to myself in what way is that better than gopher?..
...my experience before 'high-efficiency incandescent' halogens was the same: i have thirty-year-old proper halogen lamps either still going strong or which have been replaced only once over that period...these little A19 halogens, though, have an such absurdly-short duty cycle that they're viable only by virtue of stocking up dozens of cases for pennies on the dollar when they were phased out a couple of years ago...
...i do hope that we have respectable consumer bulbs available in perhaps five years after those few hundred halogen bulbs are gone, but i'm not optimistic as poor spectra appear inherent to LED technology and the market seems to have settled on 'good-enough'...proper incandescent bulbs are of course still available for specialty applications, but they're not easy to get...
...the contractor-grade FEIT incandescents installed when we built our house enjoyed a MTBF of about five years; the FEIT halogens ('high-efficiency incandescent') i stocked up to replace them after traditional incandescents phased out are on the order of six months MTBF...
...while i question whether the manufacturing and distribution of ten fourty-watt halogen bulbs really emits less carbon than one sixty-watt incandescent running for the same duration, at least the spectra are unchanged: i've yet to find any LEDs which offer acceptable black-body spectra and i specify the things professionally...

...yeah, my inner twelve-year-old would rock this house so hard: blockbuster party friday night, cartoons saturday morning, bike ride to the candy store then GI joes in the backyard saturday afternoon, SNICK followed by staying up way too late playing D+D saturday night, more D+D sunday morning, then jetski rides and a hot dog cookout before wrapping up the weekend with amazing stories, the young indiana jones chronicles, star trek, and finally falling asleep in my bunk bed...
