They were a bit whimsical for my taste. A bit neurotic.

我只是感觉他们有点古怪有点神经质
I never stressed it, but they were often

我从没说过这个但是他们总是
Very trying people to deal with, in many ways.

在有些方面上很难相处
And actually, the main reason that the little house was so hard to sell

实际上那所小房子之所以这么难卖
Was because they let it depreciate so dreadfully.

就是因为他们太不好好爱护这房子了
Warped window frames, wet cellar, crayon marks all over the walls,

变形的窗框潮湿的地窖满墙的蜡笔画
