Nancy, Yes this is the same place. I've been here four years now. Two as a renter and two as an owner. I am really beginning to enjoy it now that I'm finally able to get some things done around here. TM, Thanks! The flooring is so easy, easy easy to install. I went back and forth in my mind for the longest time. Wood, laminate, new carpets ach!! I finally decided on this vinyl flooring which I got from Lowes. It is self stick but I put it down with a vinyl glue to be sure it stays in place. That too was a wise decision because there are a couple of places where i was an inch or so shy of gluing enough to fit a whole strip in place and those edges have lifted slightly. It just makes the floor look more wood/realistic really but could have been a disaster if I hadn't used the vinyl glue. This stuff cuts with scissors or you can score it with a carpet knife blade and just snap it apart. The kitchen floor and back porch have been done for a year now and I really think I made the best decision going with the vinyl. It can take water and pets like nobody's business! A damp paper towel shines it right up whenever anyone tracks in mud. Looking forward to getting the rest of the rooms done but will have to wait awhile as I need another surgery. Maybe I can start in again in May or June. Have a great gardening season! MeMo

Mr. Demicka is what I knew him as. We were never permitted to call anyone older anything but Mr. At 65 I can not remember back that far to tell you want color the fig was. I hope it will make a couple figs this coming year to see what it looks like. It is growing very fast. If it turns out to be anything worth having I will be glad to share it. Gene, I wonder the same thing. Fig trees seem to have the ability to fool you with there leaves. J.A.

I fell asleep and missed which house they picked! :( Love that show...

My parents' house (the home I grew up in) is very much like this. Built around 1890. They purchased from the grandchild of the original family that built it, and then my parents lived there 35 years, so unbelievably, we are only the 2nd family to own it! My parents lovingly cared for every single inch, and made significant modern updates without sacrificing the integrity of the gorgeous woodwork. Put in central air, but kept the original radiator heat & they remodeled the kitchen to perfection. When they decided to move, the whole family cried. I'm not kidding. A house like that just becomes like another family member. Getting to retirement age, and the detached garage and 2 stories is just going to start getting to be too much. BUT my point is. It is for sale for less than 1/2 the price of the home OP showed. Midwest area small town. And they haven't been able to sell it in well over 6 months. Lots of lookers and everyone loves it, but people just want new now. The level of appreciation for the quality just isn't recognized here. It just breaks my heart.
