Hmm. Okay, that's useful intelligence. We'll see. The house has *much* bigger problems than a paint job. (The back room is still essentially unliveable, and it isn't clear that it makes sense for us to change that ourselves.) It's going to be a matter of choosing our battles. If we're selling it as essentially a fixer-upper, I'm not going to sweat the paint. There's a real question of attitude: if we're looking for someone who's going to take the house on as a project, the new carpets are largely not a benefit...
