I know the feeling. Apparently you lucked out with the sale of your
boats, too.


Anything will sell if you price it attractively. It took well over a
year to sell the Navigator and I reduced the price a couple of times.


How about a photo of the historical marker that must be in front of that
old house? :) Must be quite a treat to have a house that old.




I wouldn't call owning the old house a "treat". We bought and renovated
parts of the interior mainly for a place for my wheelchair bound mother
to live after my father passed away. She does ok and is basically
independent, but needs watching and occasional help with stuff.

The barn section is unique, but obviously old and musty.

I am not into "historical" buildings and will gladly sell it when the day
comes that my mother finally has to move to assisted living.
Surprisingly there are people into these old buildings and we have a
waiting list of interested potential buyers.

According to local lore, my old tobacco barn was built either during or
right after the Civil War. It has some of the original planks in it, but I
don't which ones they are! Lots of plants have been replaced over the
years. I think the descendants of the original raccoon family that moved
in there 150 years ago are among the current occupants.

My mothers house is a 1908 Georgian. Those who want old houses can have
them. Has 1908 tube and post wiring, 1908 plumbing mostly and a few leaks
and dryrot from the last 100 years.
