An inquisitive old fart with a camera
Here’s the back of that brand new house I presented on June 8th. Lovely.
Here’s a “stainless” steel kitchen sink that’s a few years old, barely used except for a few months. No complaints: we let friends stay in our place in exchange for taking care of what they thought it needed, including a kitchen sink, and we knew this was very cheap. But still. Those dots to the left of the paint brushes are rust as well.
Several kilometers off-grid, a monstrous-huge gringo dream house that didn’t exactly work out as planned. Apparently now occupied, weekends only, by half the family that intended to live the dream there.
Reminds me of this.
