Exciting! Are you going to do the work yourself? We redid our bathroom ourselves. That was not enjoyable. We need to do our main bathroom and I don’t look foreword to that as its not fun working with a crabby husband when things don’t go smoothly. I have always liked old houses. Our house was built in 1979 so was only 13 years old when we bought it and I’ve never liked it. We bought the land and the house come with it. I know that sounds awful as I should be grateful I have a roof over my head. We redid the whole outside including windows, siding, roofing and decking about 10 years ago. Everything was going to heck. I would love to have one of them big 4 stories I grew up in. Be careful what I wish for, I know

Good morning DMC!

When you said 4 stories, I thought "all those stairs". You did a lot to your house!

We will do as much of the work ourselves as we can. DH can do plumbing, some electrical, carpentry and we both can paint and do landscaping. I'm also a good tool finder and cleaner-upper of DH's messes so that's probably going to be my biggest job

Hi Bob, good to have you back!

Morning Debby. I'm good a DIY but really hate any sort of plumbing. It's not that I can't or don't know how to do it, just that I hate it. Need to fix my kitchen sink and will likely do it this weekend, but have had the parts for a couple weeks, just putting it off.

Morning

We have wind in our forecast. Oh, wait...we have wind everyday.

I want wind turbines!

Morning peeps. I always wanted to buy and fix up a Victorian house. Sadly most of them are in towns or cities.

Cap you would have loved the house that we looked at and almost went with when buying this one. It was a Victorian built in 1901 on 50 acres. It had mostly cleared pasture on 25 acres and two barns. Also had a spring house and a systern building.

Was it in TN?

yup

ETA: The staircase was so narrow I had to walk up sideways and then barely fit.

That is nuts!
