Photos By John HoffI was driving around with Jeannie Hoholik of Keller Williams Realty, when I noticed something odd at 406 30th Ave. N....
Oh, my word, could it be...a utility shut-off notice? Common enough in North Minneapolis, yes, but here's the rich irony: this is the house I dubbed "Water World" because of a rather dramatic story I heard from a real estate agent about copper pipes ripped out...the entire basement being flooded, then FROZEN SOLID.
But this summer "406" was completely renovated, albeit with some corners cut. Check out the paint job, above. I'd call this a "Stupid North Minneapolis Home Repair" but the standard for that is high and hard, and it's difficult for something as minor and mundane as a bad paint job to qualify.
In any case...no water at Water World. Huh.
What next, blood and toads from the sky?!!!!!

Yeah somebody who doesn't know what masking tape is or how to use it. I can understand people cutting corners on big jobs or some strange angle but those windows are TINY. How long would have taken??? And there's always paint remover when the job is fresh. The job just needed someone who actually cared.
If the masking tape is removed from the edge of the glass, it will look really nice. Hopefully, the paint won't peel from the grills when it's removed. Best to use a utility knife.
