Thanks Laurie! It will never be done tho. As soon as one thing is finished, something else comes along.
Been working on it for 31 years. Now the stuff we did back then needs doing again!

Thanks jcat! The lr floor had a ancient wall to wall rug that NEVER would wear out. But had stains of pepsi that my daughter always spilled! So one summer, I sat down with a claw hammer and nail puller.
First the rug came up. Then plywood sheets. Then roofing paper! Each time I got down to the wood, it was like opening a present! I was alone then. But I kept shouting...wow look at that!
Don't want to know what the neighbors thought!

Thanks for looking! My dad, who owned it would never repair anything until it broke. And even then.....Originally Posted by Trouts mom
Wow, gorgeous home you have
One time I was sleeping in my room upstairs. The attic is a walk in off my bedroom. It was pouring out and about 3 am. I hear him calling, "water is coming in my kitchen". He had an apartment in the rear. So I go in the attic and the roof was leaking like a sieve! Putting down plastic tarps at 3 am is not fun!
When dad passed, the first thing I did was fix the roof!

Thanks Cococat! Sometimes I think it is too large just for two people. But it really isn't as large as it looks.
The kitties have half of it!!

That's funny you said that. When we first moved in, I wanted to call it Heaven Hill Farm. But my dad said that sounded like a religious retreat!
Right now the ravine is full of water that backs up under the road through a culvert when the creek rises. We have no sump pump and there is a natural drain in the floor in the cellar. I used to get so nervous watching that no water came back up through the pipe and into the cellar.
It never has, but I lost a lot of sleep!

Thank you! Yes it does have those claw feet and casters. I see pics in magazines now and then of these tables.
It was my moms kitchen table. When she died, I took it to live here. It has lots of memories.

Thanks! When my kitties used to go out, they would sit in the windows. In the painting, he put cats on the porch and chickens in driveway. I used to have a little flock of hens.
