    15 Old House Features that we were wrong to abandon...

    I'd be standing on my head and spitting silver dollars if my taxes were that cheap. I've been house shopping and I've noticed that if you're far up north, or out of the urban sprawl in the south, property taxes re much more palatable. I'm not interested in going any farther north. Over the...

    You're lucky! As a fellow Wisconsinite, I've had one encounter, but hit two deer at the same time with my Cadillac.

    15 Old House Features that we were wrong to abandon...

    I'm surprised that the costs are so high, there. I have a 1200 square foot house, not sure of the lot size, but it's small. My taxes are about 1500 a year. The mortgage payment, it's a USDA loan, is a hair over 500 a month, with everything escrowed. Heat costs are high here, too, though, and...

    New to the Vintage lifestyle, first meet up turned into a disaster

    That is absolutely bizarre. I've found in my personal travels that people in the vintage community are typically more open-minded and understanding than the masses. I think part of it comes from all the accusations that if you prefer the past, you must be an uneducated, bigoted, misogynist idiot...

    The Awning

    Oh, boy. I didn't even think of that. I know with the sunsetter awnings, you don't even take off the canvas, you just retract it and it's good until spring.

    The Awning

    I've been thinking of putting awnings on my house and would REALLY like a big metal one for over the front stoop, which is about 6x10, I'd guess. I thought it would be a thrifty way around actually building a front porch on this house (I'm assuming it had one at one point or another in its...

    New Western Electric Telephone

    That's pretty cool! I've got a few WE 500 Multi-Line office phones, NOS, MIB, sitting in storage. I have always meant to do something with them, but haven't lol

    Ah, nothing too serious, then. Old houses always have plenty of surprises! Frank - Your house looks beautiful. Love the lilacs, and the awnings! I'm considering putting one on the front of my house, but haven't decided for sure, yet.

    The Great Beer Thread

    Was at a specialty shop today and the fella working there talked me into buying a six-pack of a root beer flavored Ale. It tasted exactly like a bottle of root beer, but sat VERY heavy.

    Sears might be going belly up

    We sadly lost our K-Mart, here, too. They closed down the Sears a couple years ago, and then the K-Mart last year Lots of good memories of working there in High School. I still shopped there, regularly. They just couldn't compete with the Walmart right across the street. Ace Hardware in town...

    :) I know he'll get a kick out of that. I sure do miss his posts. Yup, gotta choose between speed and torque, more often than not. It'll move piles of dirt bigger than it lol
