Good point. I mean, I'll have won the lottery, right?

I always feel sorry for the places in such disarray, though. It's like they're saying "I was once beautiful...I can be again!"

No different from many poorly-aged Hollywood celebs. A little botox, a little cosmetic surgery, a little spackle -- hey presto, as good as new.

Good as new on the outside, but unless the mechanicals you don't see are updated, it'll never have that old spring in the step.

Actually, every step will have a bit of spring in it from the rotting floor joists.
