Eyal and I always knew that it would be difficult building a family from
two different countries. It is just now, however, that we have to really
put that ...

What's the hole in the hallway? (In front of the bathroom???) What's it called, and what's its purpose, I wonder?

Maggie,
That's a heat register. Hot air comes out of the floor there to heat the house. Not an especially efficient way to heat a house, but pretty common in California, especially in older houses. Funny for me to realize that those aren't universal!
P--Yes, we love the stove and hope they leave. I didn't realize rhododendrons could get that big. It is pruned as a tree and is much taller than me.
Fantastic range. Is that a jar of bacon fat I see on the top?! Tea? It also looks like honey, but that's an unlikely storage spot. I'll go with the pork.
Good luck with the house!!! eric
Eric: Bacon fat seems completely possible. That's a griddle there in the middle and it has one of those little pull-out trays to catch the grease. However, it wouldn't be a bad place to keep the honey, either, if you wanted it to stay soft and warm, as there's probably a pilot light under the griddle.
We're really hoping they leave the range (we asked for it in the contract), but we're not going to have a hissy fit if they don't. There have been enough hissy-fits in this transation already.
We sign loan documents tomorrow!
My grandparents house had one of the floor heat registers. That's where everybody got dressed in the morning. Fond memories. cap
