House Hunting

Today we went and looked at 7 houses in 4 hours.  Talk about a roller coaster of emotions.  The first house we saw was by far the best.  House #2 was a foreclosure and was ok inside but had too much street noise.  House #3 was really nice as well.  House #4 had a similar street noise/bad lot problem and Houses 5-7 were B.A.D.  One of them we didn't get past the foyer.

Things I disliked when I looked at houses today:
- Realtors who call a bonus room that doesn't have a closet or a room in a basement that is not a walk-out a bedroom.  That house is NOT four bedrooms so don't lie to me in your listing.  You wasted my time.
- Kitchen without an area for a table.  Who wants to eat at a counter/bar or in a dining room and have those be the only choices?
- Carpet in the dining room.  Why?
- 2nd floor laundry in a closet in the hallway
- Closet doors that are mirrors
- A random cat following us around as we walked through a house
- Blaring classical music
- Overwhelming smells
- Tiny master bedroom closets
- Living rooms.  I don't like living rooms... I think they are dead space.  No one ever knows what to do with one or ever uses it if they have one. 
- Uncovered front porches
