I figure I'll hang out here for awhile and hope I find the right location and build a stick home.

Does it have counterweighted windows? My old house had those and talk about a potential nightmare.
I am pleased to report that we have all new superdeeduper insulated windows that tilt in for easy cleaning LOL! But yeah, the old timey plaster and lathe construction has challenges of it's own. I'm giggling at the thought of you building a stick home. It reminds me of the Three Little Pigs.
