A question for you

Yesterday was Mikey's 33rd birthday bash. As we're all at that age when we're buying homes, having kids, working three jobs, etc., homeownership was a popular topic -- sharing tips, showing Bich just how little they know ...

Usually, Bich can come to a consensus about a particular home decision, but one issue has us at a complete impasse. Is it a new paint color? Which piece of furniture we need most? A budget issue, perhaps?

No. It involves the electrical hookups for the hot tub the previous owners had.

Yes, something as stupid as that has us butting heads, each refusing to budge.

Brooke wants them out, utterly removed, their hideousness taken away, the loose wires eliminated from the back patio. Rich wants to keep them, hoping it will appeal to the next homeowner.

Brooke: WTF?! That's at least 10 years from now, and seriously, we do not have the kind of house where a hot tub ever belonged. It's freakin' 85 years old and a tiny Cape Cod.

Rich: There's absolutely nothing wrong with the wires. They're fine where they are, they can be used by someone someday, and WHO CARES?

One of Rich's friends -- not sure which one, as we'd all been drinking at this point -- suggested we put these arguments up for everyone to enjoy, and then put up a poll to get your input.

So, dear readers, we ask you, in the poll to the right ...
