COMMENT OF THE DAY: HOW THEY COVERED UP THE GARAGE DOOR MECHANISM IN THE EXERCISE AND TAXIDERMY ROOM “When you look at the other listing photos there is one that shows the ‘trophy’ room. This room has a two level ceiling, and you will notice a hogs head and a fish on the wall. The overhead door backs into the space that is above the lower ceiling section.” [Bill, commenting on Spring Home Listing Photo of the Day: Easy Access]
Wow that would be hard to repair if it broke!
It needs a sign above the door: “Trophy Wife, Trophy LIFE”
That’s called a “fur-down.” :-)
/\ ohhhhh, egad.
How funny! In this house it is indeed a “fur down”. I did not want to use the fir down term in my description as many may not be familiar with the term. Now they are.
I have been familiar with the word/ concept for a long time– but where does the term “fur down” come from? What a weird term…..
Fur-down comes from furring which is a construction term adopted from clothing. I think. But I’m not an entomologist.
