Why, oh why do you publish this vainglorious, fatuous ass? He's a scourge who "stinks up" your magazine with his "steaming pile" of ill-considered blathering; a nouveau riche pisant who, by painting himself in such unflattering hues (alas, unwittingly, I fear) sheds shameful discredit on our fine town; and a general all-around embarrassment to to dignified people of means everywhere.

They were auctioned separately.

I watched that 2005 Dream Home episode and that's a ton of house for $1.3M, even in Tyler. I wonder if the buyer got it furnished (or at least partially) for the $1.3M. I'm not surprised the winner had to sell based on our steep property taxes in Texas. Unbelievable. I watched that 2005 Dream Home episode and that’s a ton of house for $1.3M, even in Tyler.
