Is it cold in here?:
Organics wear clothes to feel better and to decorate themselves to impress others. Synthetics seem to share most or all of our emotional makeup.
It may also be a way of asserting dignity. Clothes assert "You need my permission to look at my body".

I've got the perfect place. 115 Bridge Street. A "beautifully restored Gothic Victorian home & carriage house circa 1856." 5 bedrooms, 5 baths. Only $1,105,000.

Don't let the picture fool you; it's actually much creepier-looking in person than in the picture. House photographers lie.
Yes, I've been house-hunting lately. This is a bit out of our price range.

At a guess, the paint is actually duller and cracks have been clone-tooled out, right?
Likely along with an odd tingle at the base of the back of your neck and the air feeling heavier when you walk up to it.

You guys are daft! That's a GREAT looking house!
(I mean, okay, the bushes could be doing with getting hauled out, but other than that....)

Well there is the list of obvious and not well 'shoped out issues with the structure.
* Eaves and gutters need a good scrape and repaint
* Brickwork needs repair
* Siding needs repair or replacement
* Chimney needs work which implies there is possible flue issues to deal with
* Roof needs shingles and there is a good possibility of water damage to deal with
* There is no central air and doubtful heat - that AC window rattler may have caused water damage as well
* That porch deck and posts don't look all that good even after the 'shop so most likely a major issue
* major greenery that close may have cause foundation and drainage issues Did I miss anything?
Oh and I like Bushes and greenery around a building but not right up against it.
Only thing worse would be English ivy which is horrible to building surfaces even though it looks good and helps keep things cool in the summer.
No I am not a home inspector - Yes I have had to deal with such issues over the years.

If they paint the place black with blood red trim, we can talk.

--- Quote from: Tlaloc on 10 Sep 2017, 23:49 ---Yeah I think that inhabitant makes sense. If you consider the chassis like a house then you get the naked mind dichotomy along with the attachment and image consciousness, I would like to have a home that represents who I am. Just a concept on how they could be attached without trying to just be people.

Does anyone else find it interesting that Bubbles made a generalization about the May-type chassis - that "it attracts similarly strange inhabitants"? How many other inhabitants of May-type chassis has Bubbles dealt with?
