Or maybe the didn’t want to go in and possibly run into them.
Considering the high end quality of the rest of the facility I could see potential buyers only being interested in that house as housing for staff and just build a new more modern house somewhere else on the farm.
As I recall, a new poster jumped into an existing crazy thread to defend the opinion of another poster. When the moderator busted the new identity for being from the same IP address as the previous poster, the previous poster claimed that the new person was their houseguest posting from the same computer. Just in case anyone wanted a little more detail. :lol:
If they are still living there that is a potential problem for a buyer.
Thanks. I was called a houseguest a couple of times and had been wondering what it meant. I figured it wasn’t a good thing! Guess I should have read Forum for Dummies before jumping in.
There is one photo of the interior of the house.
Is that the photo of the dining with a bay window?
Picture 19 seems to be the interior of the house, as you can see the bay window behind the tree in picture 20. It’s the only interior pic. Number 21 looks to be the house’s porch. An earlier porch was at the entrance to the indoor.
ETA: looks like several of us posted at once!
Question: why are the lounge windows into the indoor tilted out at the top? Is it to prevent reflections from distracting the horses?
My guess is yes. I’ve boarded at a facility with a covered arena attached to the lounge and barn in a very similar way, but, with the windows not tilted like that. And I have to say that the reflection and the distortion in the flat windows was hugely distracting (to me. Not sure what the horses thought).
Is that a pool table in the lounge? There must have been some fun parties there.
So, it lists 3 bedrooms, 2 baths.
where?
Cause I bet the house has 3 beds… so are there any in the barn/lounge?
I wonder if there are living quarters in the barn, why not show them or at least list them in the ad.
Or are they only listing the quarters in the barn, because the house is condemned, and is that the reason for only one house pic in the listing?
So where were MB and his fiance (and kids) living/sleep? On the pool table?
Some of us who have been on here for a while could star in the forum version of those insurance commercials starring J. K. Simmons. Because we’ve seen a few things. :lol:
By this time I don’t remember who said the house was condemned. Was it a reliable source? Or, you know, another source?
The Fire Department condemned it supposedly because of defective fire alarms (per LK somewhere in this thread). Other people have reported it was due to burst pipes and/or bad reno work performed by RG. I imagine those repairs have been made if the property is for sale.
Never heard of a sacrifice paddock and I am from the North East and have been around horses all my life…
The ad also mentioned some sort of allowance for building another residence, so it may actually be that the main house is condemned?? I see stairs in the pictures of the barn that seem to lead up to an interior area, not a hay loft, perhaps a barn apartment that is 3 bed? Because if a residence is not livable, at least HERE, it cannot be listed as having those living (bedrooms) areas in an ad unless it says the “structure” with work could have X bedrooms etc. Generally. YMMV.
I personally think the property is lovely.
The agent is excellent and a horsewoman. Sacrifice paddock is a very common term here. Agree with other posters who have pointed out that someone buying this sort of facility is probably not terribly concerned about the quality of the house. A high end house with the same facility the price is going to go up.
”‹”‹”‹”‹”‹”‹The day LK went back to get her stuff I saw a crossover/SUV open and packed with boxes on my commute. I have not seen that vehicle back at any point, so I’m thinking they are not living there at all. I’m sure tryingtogethere could probably confirm as they seem to be closer to the situation.
How sad that it is for sale. Just a few weeks ago it was someone’s thriving business, a place where people worked and trained. Now it’s all gone. What was he thinking? Just sad for everyone.
Two things I find very funny re: the NYT article - her age is removed altogether and that people who criticize her are fans of MB. I never was a dressage rider and only know dressage through eventing. I can assure the author that I never heard the name Michael Barisone before this incident. And still all I know about him is a little of his cv and that he made the worst choice of action he possibly could have in August. C’est tout!
One thing the hand wringers here and the NYT author don’t seem to grok: having something bad happen to you doesn’t mean people can no longer turn a critical eye on your actions. I’ve had cancer but people can still think I’m a world-class jerk if my behaviour - especially very public behaviour I brag about - strikes them as that of a world-class jerk. My having been critically ill with cancer at one point does not inoculate me forevermore from the consequences of my words and actions, past, present and future. And, I might add, it would not have meant that if I was threatening and harassing people during my chemo that that was something no one could comment critically about. That article is nonsensical because it asks us to feel bad that she was “attacked” online as though she doesn’t have a rich and verifiable history of…attacking people on line. I think the author’s irony is broken and needs fixed.
In the article LK says something like seeing mean posts about her as she was recovering from her tragic shooting was something she just couldn’t imagine. Sure she could: when someone was dealing with the death of a child she told them to overdose and speculated they were - what was it - having sex in a bedroom as their child drowned? It was a lot more vulgar than that, but you get the point. She can imagine it b/c she has done it. Some of it is printed in that article with GJ’s tweet. That’s why the article is ridiculous and so beneath the level of the author and the paper.
And Lord, almighty, to the person who said gun shot victims are never blamed - spare me. Maybe you meant blonde caucasian gun shot victims aren’t often blamed but, the hell? Someone already made a good reply about how just reaching for your wallet when told to show your license and registration has gotten more than one person killed and the chorus of, “If they’d just complied, they be alive,” fills the comments section even if they were complying.
I watched a movie, The Fundamentals of Caring, the other day. The main character is often quite unkind and also has DMD. At one point he says to his caregiver, who is accusing him of being jerk and excusing it with his diagnosis, “You ever consider that maybe I’m just a prick, with or without the wheelchair?” That’s what’s going on here. Someone got shot and survived (yay!). But it turns out that that person was and continues to be a truly [edit] person, with or without the GSW. So, the people she has been truly awful to and those who have merely seen her self-posted evidence thereof, are all, “glad you lived but you’re an [edit] person. Oh, and even after the GSW you continue to harass and threaten people online and lie about what led to the GSW.”
What a great post, FitZ. My feelings exactly. I agree with most everyone about the article, even though I thought at first she was being fair. I wasn’t actually taking everything into account. Nice post.
Unless he bought it with cash the bank is going to want theirs first.
I wonder if responding officers wore cameras.
Those responding to the calls 're the eviction, dog bite, etc… and the ones who arrived when LK was hit with 2/3/4 slugs, point blank, center mass ?
