They ARE huge drainage pipes- culverts, actually, for undergrounding a stream. It looks like they are being used as planters. Pretty sweet, if you can get ahold of one and cut it up!

Thanks jeanne. And thanks, purple, from another purple. Hahaha! I usually hang out on the garden side but knew I'd find a forum over here to discuss Christmas stuff. Fun!

Sounds like a pretty typical inspection report for a home built in 1930. Seems to me that this wanna be buyer doesn't have a clue about old homes and thinks they are being cute by posting this report. For a price in the ballpark of 150,000-165,000, I'd think this is a very fine house!
