I don't know why you're all calling this fake. I work in construction, and I can't even count the number of times we had to watch somebody's llama. 🙄

I think I love you. 🤣 I'll call ya next time we have llama drama around here.

I just saw the latest episode, I think called "Bargain Bin," on DVR. There were critter hijinks, staged stunts, and Keith's usual fall through a ceiling. Although in this case it was a finished bathroom ceiling, they staged it carefully enough not to destroy fixtures or lights, so it was just a few square feet of drywall to replace, finish, and paint. 

The house was on the lower end of the market. They bought it for $80K and I think sold it in the low $200s if that much, but they said they made a respectable profit. They wisely didn't mess much with the floor plan. It's a small 3 bedroom 1 bath on a lot with a gigantic back yard. I can see it as a starter home for a couple or family or even a downsize move for a singleton or couple. The kitchen is small, and unless you want to start adding on to the house and rearranging the plumbing, there's not much to be done about that, so they just left the layout alone and replaced everything in there. 

Maybe it just wasn't telegenic and would look better in person, but I hated the gray floor tile + pale green wall color combination. I'd have had to repaint all the walls. And though I liked the tiles they chose for the bathroom, I loathed the artsy pattern they laid them in. That would drive me nuts to live with. 

I wasn't paying too much attention to the neighborhood and why house prices seemed to be lower there. Was it kind of sketchy or just not particularly fashionable?
