You can't exactly replace your house though, can you?<br /><br />An old house! Ours was built sometime between 1903 and 1912, so it is also old, but not quite as old as yours. I imagine your house must creak a lot.Craighttp://cburrell.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-52649217435183325682012-04-24T08:20:13.695-05:002012-04-24T08:20:13.695-05:00Thank you.

It would have been nice to have all this land when my children were at home, but by the time we got it, the youngest was 12 and the others were out on their own. Still, my oldest granddaughter has really enjoyed it and the younger ones are getting to be old enough to run around there.<br /><br />Since it's out in the country, it was very inexpensive and the 116 year old house is not in the best condition, having been home to many happy and well-fed termites over the years. We kicked them out, but they have left their mark, so it's nice to remember that it's so lovely outside when I'm sitting in the living room worrying that the beam that holds up the bathroom will give way before we get the money to fix it.<br /><br />AMDGJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069018443486415173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774681833222176907.post-28042631689418271892012-04-23T22:52:33.992-05:002012-04-23T22:52:33.992-05:00How beautiful!

It's the sort of place I dream about. <br /><br />Our yard is about 8 ft x 10 ft in the front, and little bigger in the back. We have two trees, one of which is apparently actually city property.<br /><br />On the other hand, we are blessed with an abundance of crumbling concrete.Craighttp://cburrell.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
