Default Sad Hearts In The Attic

Inspected a magnificent house today... until we got into the attic.
The buyers were really sad to see this 2 year old house needs the
entire attic support system redone... I captured this picture in the
attic.

This picture was taken a few minutes later when they started to cry
and got my lense all wet.

Good picture of the attic rafters though.
Better start saving or I might have missed that one.
