Interesting times - interesting times.

Heh .... I just checked the old farmhouse that my mother lives in. It's
the old house at the end of our driveway.
According to Zillow, it's one of our best, most stable investments. It's
value has fluctuated, but overall has maintained an upward trend.

It was built in 1800! John Adams Sr. was President, having replaced George
Washington. Adams was succeeded a year after the house was built by Thomas
Jefferson.

Amazing isn't it? The last rental home we have was built in 1920 -
chestnut joists, 1/2" white oak floors, etc.

Cost $1,820 to build. :)

The original three buildings in South Woodstock that were built in
1720, little tiny salt boxes, were built before there even was an US
of A.

History dude.
