Re: Foundations and weird water table

Thanks guys! It's the weirdest thing I've seen-each hole seems to have different water levels. And I thought roof shingles as siding on the Bungalow was odd lol.

Re: Squared off clawfoot tub?

This is a fairly uncommon tub. I've only seen one other like it in person. I can't remember who made it, but the casting date in the bottom of the iron was 1933 or thereabouts. By the early '30s when the Art Deco look had firmly taken root, clawfoot tubs were starting to be seen as "dated"...

Re: Squared off clawfoot tub?

Maybe. I seriously love the house it's in but I don't need another Bungalow sized project right now. It's SOOOO original! Even the kitchen isn't updated <3 https://photos.zillowstatic.com/p_f/ISe0pzko6bfazd0000000000.jpg https://photos.zillowstatic.com/p_f/IS2jbkyd9jthwk0000000000.jpg There are issu...

Re: Neglected italiate

Rumor has it it's a single person with no kids that bought it. It has a small apartment (servents quarters?) in back upstairs, perhaps they will fix that part first and live there (it was the most livable part), then run it as a b&b...just a guess though. I think they closed on it, I saw a coupl...
