Mom Mad

Laura asked Leroy if he thought she should knock on the door and try to see inside the old house.  Leroy said why not, she has nothing to lose?  So they knocked on the door and it took a long time for the owner to answer.  He was not happy about Laura's idea about seeing the house but then they got talking and found out that she was an artist and he was an animator.  So he let her in.  The house was a mess.  His wife and children were away and he was renovating the house.  It was taking him forever to complete the renovations.  The hallway was a mess and there was no furniture in the living room, dining room or family room and there were no curtains.  The basement looked just the same.  The bedrooms looked pretty much the same as we left them but not the way Laura left hers.  The new owner was very proud of the new shower stall that he had put in the en suite bathroom off the master bedroom.  When Laura showed Barb the picture of it, Barb was furious.  We had just put in a new shower stall before we sold the house.  It cost us $5000.  We hardly even got to use it ourselves before we moved out.  Barb could see that some of the house needed renovating but she thought that doing the shower stall first was just stupid.
