Our first summer test.

Well summer is just around the corner. It got above 60 degrees for the first time since we bought this house. At 8,000 square feet it’s going to be impossible to air condition this place and still keep it affordable. We are going to need to do a summer test to make sure we can keep it cool.

We are learning a lot about how Victorian houses are designed. Modern houses you tell them how many bedrooms, bathrooms, etc you want, and a draftsman makes some blueprints to fit it in the rectangle space that is provided. In the Victorian age they didn’t have the technology to bend the environment to your will. So, they did a better job of making the housework to make living more comfortable.

Do you believe in ghosts?

If you asked me that a week ago, I would have said no. After living in this house for five months, I can honestly say I’m not so sure anymore. Looking over everything that has happened here I just may believe in ghosts.

This is a 200-year-old house. We knew when we bought it that there was a chance that someone died in the long life the house has had. So far looking at the newspapers back in 1920 a Mr. Downey may have passed away here. It seems that his widow was trying to auction off everything and then sold the house. There may be more that we haven’t found yet.

Looks like Army Painter is replacing my Air Paints!

I’m new to the air brush scene, and I was so excited when the order arrived from Army Painter. Not knowing what I was doing I loaded the primer in my air gun and primed all my miniatures. The gray primer spit out of the gun (thought maybe it was the air pressure), but I was able to get them coated ok. Then I decided to give them a black undercoating. This is where my issues started and ended with the best customer support ever!

2nd floor back hallway has been stabilized

This has been a long time coming. It’s one of those projects where you start it then life hits. The entire family uses this hallway everyday too. I had thought that we got photos before we did the trim. We didn’t even have any on the wiki. I did manage to get a few shots after we had the trim done.

We had to add a sign on our house!

When we bought this house, we knew it had a lot of history. After being a fraternity for over 100 years how could it not. A few people in town told me that 1/2 the town may have been conceived in this house. After seeing the house, the first time, we didn’t care. She is a HUGE 8,000 square foot house that had been sitting empty and at risk of getting to the point where it couldn’t be saved. Worst yet! be split up into apartments, an oversized cheap B & B by some flipper.
