Double take

[faithhealer]

When you walk into a customers house, what have you seen to make you look again?
Today was a 'Humphrey Bogart' type picture painted on a complete living room wall. Another one was a 'stuffed peacock' hanging on a wall, ceiling to floor complete with full plumage

A house i have done quite a bit in which is 300 years old and full of lovely antiques !!!
The customer is a retired judge and has some collection

John,

I've mentioned this one before...from sometime mid/late 80's. I was doing handyman repairs on rentals and I went into the kitchen of the tenant and asked to use the phone to call the owner. They pointed to the phone on the wall and went into the living room and sat down on the couch. They called into the kitchen and offered me some ice tea. I leaned around the corner to say "no thanks" and I heard the unmistakable sounds of "professionals acting out a :love:love scene" on a video.:yikes:

The two tenants were sitting on the couch, husband with his arm around his wife, sitting calmly and drinking tea while the "movie" played on the Betamax (remember those?:lol: )

The TV was sitting on a hearth, and all around the hearth and on the mantle were statues, plates, pictures, trinkets and all sorts of memorabilia to both Elvis:elvis: and Jesus.

I don't know what the funniest thing was about this whole scene-how they sat there calmly smoking cigarettes and drinking tea while they watched this movie, or that they gave Elvis equal footing with Jesus in the fireplace shrine.

I remember those 'state of the art betamax vids lol

I have seen a 'lady toy' in one house too. Also a stuffed owl and real peahen standing outside the door almost ... myself when i opened the door as that was the last thing iexpected to see!

Seen an interesting mural on the wall too, strangely enough in the daughter of the guy with the peahen.

Doug, my men were moving the furniture one time prior to painting the bedroom. As they moved the bed they found a truckload of "toys" under the bed. They were a little unnerved because this customer is the super-respectable type and they couldn't envision her with such "implements".:yikes:

I found a 'gentlemens' magazine under a wardrobe once in a rented property. I had to dismantle the thing to put into the loft fo the tenants. I chucked it ont he spare bed and left. Turns out they had just moved in and it must have been left by the previous tenants. I bet she didnt believe her fella when he insisted it wasnt his :yikes:
