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.
Mrs. Greenjeans Reviewed by Mrs. Greenjeans on . My stupid house. I've been hinting around about this for a bit now. Here's some pics of the crap we're dealing with. At least we've got it under control enough that now we're actually living in the damn thing. To bring random folks up to speed: we bought a 94 year old house. Yes, we realized it was going to need some TLC, but damn. The chick that owned it before us lied on the paperwork, as did the realtors. It has plumbing issues out the yingyang. We signed on it Feb 23, but couldn't actually move Rating: 5
