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.
