The photos are deceptive. The previous owner did an inexpensive golden oak re-skin on good maple cabinets. Some is a 1/8" oak skin, but much is a thin veneer that's peeling off. The skins are coming unglued or warping in several areas.

The floor tile was PINKISH-Beige...with white grout! With a 150 lbs. dog who loved chasing squirrels, the grout was mud-browns. YUK!

We're downsizing to Hilton Head in three years. This needs to be down before we sell.

Floor tile and white grout...

Here are a few of my 85' Mercedes 300TD that I restored last winter. Makes a great summer daily driver now.

Where is that? I grew up in a SoCal post-war house and neighborhood that looked just like that.

Thought so. My aunt still lives in that neighborhood. I lived within a 5-iron from that house.

That's amazing. What a small world!
