Speaking of houses ...

Ahh now that you mention it, I can see how this photo is at an odd angle. I didn't notice because I wasn't really looking closely the way I would if we were hunting.

When we put our house on the market, the real estate agent had someone do one of those 3D walk through videos (or whatever they're called). I asked if they were going to take photos as well, and she said "no, we'll just grab some stills from the video." I remember being suspicious of that, and asked her to show me the photos before she listed them. Sure enough, there were some that I thought were very deceptive -- IOW they made the space look a lot bigger than it was. So I had her re-do a few because it just felt dishonest (they didn't have to re-shoot, she just had to redo the process of getting the screengrabs/stills). She didn't see the problem, but agreed when I pushed. The final selection felt honest to me, which I thought was important.

When’s the piano party?

[Piano*Dad]

Hah! Well, at least two years before we're ensconced there, I'm guessing.

My wife is retiring in a few days.

Congratulations to Dr Piano*Mom (I just made up that name).

Which house gets the piano?

If you're paying a million for a second house would you not buy a second piano

Question is, same or different piano?

[Piano*Dad]

Again, Hah! I might, if I played enough to justify it.

But probably not. I'm thinking that prepping the Santa Fe place for a piano would be a real pain. In any case, Piano*Son may wind up with the piano at some point in the not too distant future.

@Piano-Dad - Digital for Santa Fe? Still gives you something to play, but less maintenance and fewer worries that an airbnb renter will damage it....I know, I know....I'm a piano barbarian....

[Piano*Dad]

No, no, that makes perfect sense, especially if we continue to rent the place out in winter when we're not there.

Does he still play regularly?

Remind me what kind of piano you have?

[Piano*Dad]

No, he doesn't, though his wife recently got him a little digital.

I have a Grotrian 192 like Perri.

[ShiroKuro]

Ahh I think I knew that at one point.

Another one of the many brands I’ve not yet had the chance to play!

Beautiful home, and a lot of house for the money. (Though I know nothing about the housing market in Henderson. You would pay 2-3x that for a similar house in MT). Can you swim in the pool in the winter? Does it stay that warm there?
