Coffee is on, want some?

Well Deborah really wanted to go. Since I have had too blow off way to many things with her the past few months and I value her friendship, I braved the fog and hiked over to Hampstead. We had fun, but the Kelly Bell Band sucked. They had a great selection of cover bands, too bad they couldn’t play them. She says some woman was checking me

Woo for home improvement! I just bought this house about a year and a half ago and I've had a wonderful time working on it (it's 70+ years old). I'd post pictures (which I force on everyone at every opportunity) except my old ISP finally figured out almost a year after I canceled that they'd never taken my webspace back. Oh well. I'll dig around and see if I can upload them somewhere else.

Be forewarned...I'll talk your ear off about my house. :D

Here you go...except that you'll have to register at Imagestation to view them. :D

Here I was going on about hardwood floors and you have them all over your house! Very nice, I love the darker woods and liked your front winsdows too. Thank you for letting me see the pics.

Your town looks cute, is it nice? Are you considered a local?

The story behind me getting this house is a long and involved one. Basically, I got talked out of bidding on it by my real estate agent and before I got around to demanding he put my bid in anyway, it was sold. A few months later, a friend of mine got a batch of listings from her aunt (who is a real estate agent) and she noticed that my house was among them...turns out the people who had a contract on the house backed out and it was up for sale again. Being a foreclosure, the bank was desperate to get rid of it...it had been on the market for almost a year, they'd already had one failed contract on it and winter was approaching again (this house is a bitch to heat). So, I got it...at the original bid price that my realtor talked me out of, saying the sellers wouldn't even consider a bid that low. No negotiations, nada. They just said OK

Talk away. I'm jealous! I'm in a new house right now, it suits my lifestyle at the moment. I have always dreamed of getting a big older place that I can fix up and mold to my taste.

- Hardwood floors
- 1 acre min. lots, bigger is great....I want a dog, once I stay home enough.
- large basement for the ideal club room/ family lounge
- outbuilding or a super garage for a hobby shop.

..........and I am starting to want a hot tub......

So, please talk about your house. New ideas are good!

Houses and Puppies

You know, I've always wanted an older house. I'm extremely jealous of a friend of mine who just bought a house that is not only and old Victorian with a registered name, but has a secret passage!

And I'm planning on getting a puppy as soon as I have more time to spend on it.
