Stupid North Minneapolis Home Repairs At 416 31st Ave. N.


Photos By John Hoff

Scott Ficek of the Minnesota Investment Property blog may have pioneered the practice of publicizing "Stupid North Minneapolis Home Repairs," but let's face it, he can't keep up and has to pretty much WATCH MY SMOKE....

Here is a "two-fer" at 416 31st Ave. N.

Above, the cupboard is attached to the ceiling with...what is that? Well, whatever it is, it looks stupid. I'm scoring that one. I know the photo looks like some kind of upside-down end table or something but, nope, that's the kitchen cupboard.

Below, real estate agent Jeanie Hoholik stands in a "bedroom" which used to be a dining room. No sense having a nice dining room with a big arched doorway when you can squeeze in one more "Section 8" bedroom.

"Just act like Vanna White," I told Jeanie, as I made her pose for a picture.

This Jeanie being Vanna White.

The post about the "Hawthorne Advantage" grants is coming as soon as I get an email summary from Jeff. But, yes, that stuff was approved by the Hawthorne Board yesterday. Hawthorne now has money for new homeowners, as an incentive. Details to follow soon.
