Jeez. I'm a little surprised at and disappointed in you people.


Nothing I can do about that but here's how I justify what I wrote. A quote from the MTN website...

"We request that you submit a photo of your home. From this, we do a visual check to see that the homes are well maintained and neat."

My home is old. I has cracks in the stucco siding, needs paint real bad, the back is half renovated and may never be finished, the floors are worn, and that original lath and plaster interior walls look like... original lath and plaster walls. Yet my guest accommodation (my studio) is fully renovated and in pristine condition, although all I have to offer for a bed is a comfortable couch or an air mattress on the floor.

If I submit a picture of my house to MTN, it would I'm sure conjure up images similar to the stereotypical biker I described in my post above. Frankly, at a glance (which is all a picture offers) from the street, my house looks run down and neglected. So, that is my point about what I said above and now everyone knows I live in a shack!! (Not really... inside as I said, my studio is brand new, I have 2 fully renovated bathrooms, brand new plumbing, a roof that doesn't leak and a newish huge deck overlooking the mighty Columbia River.)

Now, having said what I just did about my house I have yet to mention my "alternative lifestyle" which is something I don't hide and does NOT fit well within the boundaries of mainstream society. Nope, I just would not fit their criteria as a good a proper host, yet.......

Now do you understand what I meant in the other post o' mine up there, John?
