The Idiot Box

We are about to buy a house. At least, we hope we are. We are making an offer on a house that we like. And we had better hurry, since the house we are renting is being foreclosed on. Hopefully we won't be booted out of here before the deal goes through.

We have looked at lots of houses. Nothing really caught our eye. (Well, there were a few houses selling for over a million dollars that would have suited me just fine.) Then one night a couple of weeks ago, I was searching online, and the second I saw this house, I knew it was the one. As soon as the husband saw it, he agreed.

Now he's backpedaling a little. He's not 100% sure about the house. It's not because it needs a little work, which it does. It's because he can't figure out where he's going to put the big screen TV.

This is not a joke. I am not kidding. There is a HUGE living room, and he can't imagine where he's going to put the television! He says that the wall where it should go has a fireplace in the way.

And because of this, we almost kept house hunting.

I'll admit that I wasn't looking for an appropriate space for the TV when we looked at the house. But I'm pretty sure I can figure it out. I say we put it out in the garage. We'll just have the cable hooked up out there. Mr. Particular is the only one who watches television, and this will guarantee that he won't be bothering me in the evening when I'm trying to read.

Problem solved.

I am sure with a house as big as this one that there is at least ONE place where the stupid TV will fit (to his satisfaction, and yours too). You could make a TV room for Mr. Particular in any of those walk-in closets. That sounds good to me.

LOL, funny. Friends of ours mounted their TV ON the fireplace. Is that possible with yours?
