This is a reply to one of the houses Spousal Unit inquired about. Not really.UPDATE: The landlord really did send out this email to us to apply for the house. I just inserted my comments. The only changes are marked in red.
The Earthy comment was just a tactfull remark made by Spousal Units's boss. The place really smells buffaloey. True, no grass to mow cause there is no yard for the house itself. I imagine we could share the pastures with the beasts if we asked nicely.

Would appreciate an answer on the following questions:
o how many family members will be living in the house ? 2 on a regular basis. 50 on occasion cause every one I know wants to come and visit. Come on down.
o what kind of pets do you have and how many ? None, unless you count the messy, messy boys coming to visit.
o how long do you plan to live in my property ? 4-5 years
o when can you moove in ? Spousal Unit in June or July. Me early October
o can you afford the monthly rent and fee ? Well DUH we wouldn't be asking about the house it we couldn't afford the rent. Not all Americans are ugly and Spousal Unit's boss doesn't think kindly on deadbeat non paying employees.
Thank you for your interst.
Your´s sincerly,
Hanns-Josef
Spousal Unit thought the house had possibilities but couldn't tolerate the buffalo herd. I thought that the house was YUCKY but liked the area and the Herd.
When Spousal Unit mentioned this particular house to his boss, the boss replied, "Ah, yes, I know exactly which house that is. Its rather "Earthy" there.

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam...
Good luck on the continued search. Earthy is better than "Well it smells like buffalo".
They seriously asked if you could afford it? Fair question, I suppose, but it still struck me as amusing.
I guess you wouldn't have to mow with all the livestock.
