Best House Showing So Far
Potential buyers toured HeckOfAHouse this week. Now, even in this depressed (and, for sellers, depressing) housing market, a shopper’s request to be shown the place isn’t enough to promote that event to a Heck Of A Guy blog entry.
Even the fact that the visitors were personable, appreciative of the design and features of the house, and - yes - chuckled at my jokes doesn’t qualify the episode as post-worthy.
And while their attestation to being “interested” in further pursuing the possibility of purchasing this home is promising and a definite plus, many others have made similar declarations.
So, what put this showing over the top?
Well, these were the first potential buyers to arrive bearing a gift - and a pretty nifty gift at that: Harrods Peppermint Discs.1
These tiny cookies (with a circumference hardly larger than a dime) consist of a wondrously tasty peppermint filling wrapped in chocolate and encased in a similarly nifty package that resembles the one displayed below.
Harrods Discs also come in Lemon (shown above) and Orange.
While I don’t pretend to have an accurate reading on the likelihood of these folks actually handing over stacks of freshly minted, high denomination US currency in exchange for this place, I gotta admit I’m rooting for them.
The individual who arranges to inspect the house and shows up brandishing a box of Harrods Peppermint Disks is, as far I am concerned, an individual worthy of HeckOfAHouse.

I am so gonna pout if Ben found out about Heck of a House being on the market before I found out. On second thought, I am pouting either way.
