emalernee Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Heres my excuse for not inspecting the fireplace. Click to Enlarge 66.18 KB It wasn't there when I opened the glass doors and went off to look at something else. One of the buyers walked by the fireplace looking for a cable wire and mentioned to the other buyer that there was a cable on the wall and an owl in the fireplace, then the screaming began when the thing winked at them. I thought it was sent by the agent to keep an eye on me as she didn't show up for the Inspection. Ezra Malernee Canton, Ohio
hausdok Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Jeez Ezra, You messed up. He was there to deliver mail to you and you completely missed it. You probably could have been on the train to Hogwarts by now. It's a screech owl. There was one of those little guys that used to roost in the ivy covering the outside wall of the elementary school in my home town when I was a kid. Every year, I'd screw up the courage just once to climb the vine, get within about a foot and a half of the little guy, reach out and try to snatch him. Every time, just as I reached out, he'd suddenly erupt off his roost and fly off, scaring the crap out of me and damned near causing me to lose my grip on the vine and fall. After about five years and five failed attempts, I stopped trying. Its a good thing too; if I'd caught it, it probably would have taken one of my fingers off. I imagine its kids probably roost there now. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike
John Kogel Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 That should have been in the property description. "Comprehensive pest control program provided by Able Owl and Sons."
Terence McCann Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Great pic Ezra! Were you on the boarders of any of the park systems?
emalernee Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Posted January 14, 2011 Terry, Uniontown, on the border of Summit and Stark counties with no park land nearby. Mike, We thought of Harry Potter. The young buyer was going to Google to see if this was a good or bad omen. Ezra Malernee Canton, Ohio
Brandon Whitmore Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Did the owl hoot once by chance? If so, I hope you told the client that the house was doomed. (see best answer under this link): Hoot
Terence McCann Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Did the owl hoot once by chance? If so, I hope you told the client that the house was doomed. (see best answer under this link): Hoot Funny stuff. What is an Owl a sign of? A drop in nearby rodent population?
Bill Kibbel Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 In Wales, the appearance of an owl in or between houses indicates an unmarried girl lost her virginity.
John Kogel Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 In Wales, the appearance of an owl in or between houses indicates an unmarried girl lost her virginity. OK, but is that good or bad? [:-spin]
Tom Raymond Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 In Wales, the appearance of an owl in or between houses indicates an unmarried girl lost her virginity. Dirty damned owls!

Richard Moore Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 In Wales, the appearance of an owl in or between houses indicates an unmarried girl lost her virginity. Interesting. I think the same holds true in America for a girl in a Hooters t-shirt.
emalernee Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Posted January 15, 2011 The Owl didn't hoot and the buyer isn't a Hooters girl. I'm going to tell the buyer that it means wisdom - I don't want her to stop payment on the check. Ezra Malernee Canton, Ohio
