It's no Grey Gardens, but there's a very affordable mansion for sale in Nova Scotia. [link]
I'm in love with the sun room. I'll just note that I can do electrical work and carpentry. NSM plumbing.
One of the events in Chicago this weekend involves mooning the T tower.
Man, I want that house real bad now.
Aurelia you are welcome to come to my house and do electrical and carpentry.
I had friends over for dinner. Five of us and we drank I think 4.5 bottles of wine plus my roommate then came home and we broke open the whiskey. I will regret this in the morning
Also someone stole the skunk trap? I hope it already had a skunk in it. They deserve that.
I don't drive and it's not commutable otherwise and I'd have to live there to afford it

Happy Birthday Suzi!
Tonight at the grocery store, the toddler of the man ahead of me in line got angry over being denied something and threw his shoe at the cashier's face. I'm pretty sure if I'd ever done anything like that I'd have been whisked out of public view faster than a Mossad target. Not sure whether to be supportive or judgmental of big camo-clad guy quietly telling kid to stop rather than aggressively curtailing behavior.
Man, that house looks great, but I worry about the condition of the floors. The rest of the woodwork looks lovely: why is there white wall-to-wall everywhere? Hmmm.
Yeah, I immediately wondered just how bad the floors would have to be to justify that (stained!) carpet everywhere rather than restoring the original hardwood. Also side-eyeing the plasticy 90s bathtub. That place calls out for claw foot tubs. The foyer and library look awesome above ground level, though.
I feel like the odds are decent that the people who chose that kitchen also chose wall-to-wall regardless of the condition of the floors. Source: Many hours of HGTV.

DH is very accomplished with plumbing! Yes, I am in love with the place. Of course there is going to be a long list of stuff that needs to be done to a house over 100 years old. Same with every house I have ever owned. I want it!
The weather scares me since I have lived tropical for 37 years, but the first 20 of my life were survived in those temperatures. Carpets everywhere are probably more a factor of keeping toes warm than damaged floors. But no doubt the electric and plumbing are sketch. But fixable!!!

The paint detail pictures are really lovely.
Ideas needed. One of my practice managers has her birthday today. I am very fond of her and want to get something delivered. Not flowers or chocolate. I have no talent for good gift ideas.
