House hunting is something else. There are alot of crazy, quirky houses out here. One thing I do not understand is the lawn with the manicured section of green grass. We're in the middle of the desert people...there is a constant water shortage and it's really expensive (we will likely have a $40-$60 water bill per month). Why, oh why would you plant grass that requires so much water to be dumped on it to have it look nice? I prefer the rock lawn. It fits better. Another popular...or maybe not so popular alternative is Astroturf. Yes, you can still have green grass in your yard that requires zero maintenance.
This house that we looked at had Astroturf and a strange concrete hole in the backyard. The selling agent asked our real estate agent to ask us if we knew what it was (I think the house was a foreclosure so he had no contact with the previous owners).
To me the hole looked like they were trying to make one of those lap pools where the water jets out at you so you just kind of swim in place. But there were no electrical or water connections. It reminded Zach of Silence of the Lambs....some sort of strange torture chamber.
We took a pass on that house.
