looks awesome, good score on it!
Only thing I don't like is that highway right there in front, but then that's just me...I'm a country boy.
Again, good job, hope to see some pics of your shop too!

Then you'd have no problem with that "highway" - it's an old country route, probably less travelled than the residential street I live on now. I would imagine when the house was built the road was little more than a horse & buggy track (the deed to the land is dated 1890). Personally I'd have preferred the house be back from the road too, but beggars can't be choosers...

I'm actually thinking of boarding that front door up and putting a picture window in that wall. There are three other doors (one shown in the pic, one in the rear entering the kitchen, and one entering the dining room) so the one opening right onto the highway is kinda redundant...

yeah, I figured after I posted, that it was 2 lane country blacktop.
I did live in a town for about a year or so...right on the end of main street, as it turned into a highway...never again for me!
Picture window would be a good way to "gussie up" that door/wall.

Woohoo.... hopefully someday when I grow up I'll be able to get a house like that too. I doubt I'll be able to beat the deal that you got. But looks like a real good deal you got yourself into! 57k is a great buy by the looks of those pics.
Congrats!

Tip: You know how to make pictures of the house look even better?

-Have your tbird sit out front of it!!

Congrats on the house. It looks good for being a 100yr old house. I hope to find one like that in the near future.

Indeed you will. And you'll have to show me how you're making out with your hand control project :D

Oldraven is moving back to NS in spring, too. If you brought your TC, together we'd bring the fox T-Bird population of Nova Scotia up to about three :hick:

I plan on getting back at that tonight, if it's not too cold in my UNHEATED garage

Now I'm jealous of a NSian :(
