The Historic District

Wackyshack, I hope they aren't planning any zoning... There are farmlands all around this area. I would think development would happen closer to the main road. This house is back off on secondary roads. Where\how could one check if someone was planning to develop nearby lands? As far as I am aware, ...

lisascenic, I guess that's what you use to support\hold together the foundation? On my way home from work today there were a bunch of cars at the house, so I pulled over. Some of the cars were hunters in the nearby field. The person walking around the house was the maintenance man for the bank who h...

nhguy, Thank you for the comment on the bad sill. Now that I relook at the pictures, that's where the old cistern pipe comes in.

Gothichome, It looks as if the wall has slid off of the end of the beam and shifted down about 2 inches. I th...

Very nice fridge. I love that style!

Hi matchbookhouse, Yes, the house is fairly cheap and we have priced out repairs we need to do and can get it move in ready without breaking the bank. I'm not sure how reassessments work these days. We bought our current house in 1995 and in 1997 added a two car garage attached to it. The permit and...

Hello all, My wife and I are in the process of purchasing our first old house. We are still negotiating the price, but have a mile long list of things that need (and a lot of wants) to get done. The house has had all the electrical, copper piping and heating stolen. There is a sunken corner in the b...
