Re: Don't shoot me

Everything needs to be darker if it is going to be outdoors. Medium grey and dark grey will look better than light grey and medium grey. I don't know what color of green you like, but get one with the same undertones as the grey.

Re: 1924 Bungalow in Lincoln, Nebraska

Are you having any new updates to this house? It reminds me so much of all the houses of the era in my hometown in Buffalo, County, Nebraska. I could find my way around with my eyes closed. I love this floorplan.

Mike, that makeover is stunning. The colors go so well together. I could not have picked it myself. Isn't it nice to have people out there who can help? Congrats.

Re: Dining room restoration

I just wanted to join in to say that the picture-story with its twists and turns makes some interesting reading. I'm sure that the family upset that all that construction makes means there better be a good story.

Re: Hi, I'm (Banner) Dan from Wisconsin

Banner,
I am glad you are over here. When I think of someone who can tell a story, I think of you: house tour, toilet, door. I know you aren't trying to weave a tale, but you're a natural.

Re: Sewer backed up while we vacationed!

Ah, we were so careful to shut off all electric devices! But we never thought to shut off the water. You better believe we will from now on.

Re: Old House Inspection - Advice Needed

While you are looking around, be curious about what was there in 1911 and what might have been remodeled along the way. By looking at woodwork, we found that there had been a back stair to the kitchen. Are there any additions to the home? Do you like the changes/additions that the family made, or wo...
