not quite the same

my sister will be renting out her place.  she's had it for more than ten years and she's barely even occupied it.  stuff and fixtures just deteriorate and go out of order because of disuse.

well, this morning she had a caller.  my sister was telling her she couldn't show her the place because she's going there next weekend yet.  guess what, the prospective tenant wanted to reserve the place, offering even a one-year contract, without even seeing the interior.

my sister was telling her to check out the house first.

the caller was saying she has seen the gate and the facade and she's already fine with it.

they were going back and forth trying to convince each other on the phone and, being the owner, my sister won out.

that is the right outcome, i would say.  i am not at all convinced of the caller's stand.

not necessarily about the house but about life in general, you don't make certain judgments and decisions without checking out certain things.  just because you like something from the outside does not mean you'll like it from the inside as well.  things are different from the outside looking in...
