Gingerbread Houses Gone Bad - Xmas tip # 43
Every year as Christmas approaches, I hear the same horror stories of well intentioned people, caught up in the spirit of the season, who decide to build a gingerbread house. The carnage and collateral damage often last well into the new year. My advise is (and I am a licensed Realtor)... don't do it! Imagine the embarrassment when everyone seated at the dinner table witnesses poorly constructed icing dripping from the roof, while the smarties trim falls off, exposing substandard siding material. To make matters worse, the gingerbread man is trapped inside!
This could have been avoided by having professionals do the job. Sure, with travel time and all, it'll probably run you one or two grand, but what is money when loss of dignity and possible family breakup are involved?
To this end, I'm available for pre-build gingerbread house consultation. I am, after all, a licensed Realtor!
