How's your attention to detail?

My home is on the market. View the nearly complete floorplan below with the (almost) original floorplan at the bottom. Printing out the pdf attached will make it easier to spot the differences.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to count the number of differences in the two floorplans.

Note: Please count each difference every time it occurs (each time it occurs) even if the same difference is repeated somewhere else. e.g the same difference (change) in two places is counted as two differences not one.

Also see:

www.trademe.co.nz...

Looking at the pictures and video in the above link may help you spot the differences.

Please email me (Alan) the number of differences you find.

Please send your emails to alan99nz@gmail.com before the closing date (19 March).

Good Luck.

p.s. I asked the real estate salesperson to look at the original floorplan, photograph during an open home anywhere changes were required, and send the photos to the person creating the floorplan who had not seen the property.

The salesperson only sent one photo!

I really appreciate Tim's help getting the floorplan updated :)

He turned up at our place a few months ago and we've been feeding him so he's in pretty good shape. He's initially shy but warms up pretty fast. Tried to get him to the SPCA but was told that he would most likely get euthanized as they're overloaded with kittens. Sometime before he turned up at ours, he was neutered by the SPCA and then returned to our area (has the tell-tale snipped ear). We would dearly love to keep him but already adopted two strays in the past year.
