Yes but not in the crawlspace lol

I actually plan on building a timber frame cabin as a guest house on our farm.

Great. Now both sets of Grandparents can live with you.

I would let someone else do all the work and write a big ass check when he/she was done.

Our first house when we were married was a complete gut job. We bought it cheap, put a lot of sweat equity in to it and sold it for a nice profit, which we used to pay off all of our bills. We then made all new bills.

Do not want to go through anything like that ever again.

Even paying someone there's a ton of decisions to be made.

Paint color obvious

Flooring obvious

The fact that there's a gazillion choices for baseboard and crown....not so obvious.


And while certain things look good on an individual basis you have to think will they work together. That's hard to do without seeing them together.

Both are within 2 miles. Close enough.

 

[Brownslave688]

Like seeing old houses, not so much living in one.

With all you are doing to it, the only "old" thing in there, is the, uh, mmm, the, uh, maybe a board or two?

Actually funny you say that. The fact that the 2x4 are actually 2x4 made the doors a bit of a challenge.

Lol
Two miles to the in-laws, no thanks!

I have never seen a 2x4 that really measured 2x4.

Back in the day they used to be.

Kidnapping?

OK, so they did go a tad further than a Feeders mileage route. They did return the child.

Does Ohio have a state vehicle inspection?

Does Ohio have a state vehicle inspection?

Not statewide but they are required in some counties. Most don't. More often they will do random inspections by stopping cars driving by.

We’ve seen some real hoopties here. Lol. My daughter was marveling at how few luxury cars she saw.

Hoopties?

Luxury cars are more dependent on the local areas. Were you in Westerville? That is mostly middle class. Borders on ghetto but millionaires on the other side.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

My son in law inherited his grandfathers Cadillac. I call it his hooptie.

These are actually rough cut. That's how old.

Yeah Illinois doesn't (shocking I know) but Missouri does.


There's just as ty as vehicles in both states.


Not everyone in Ohio has a government job making 6 figures to do nothing like where you live.

I think the hospital is in a lower class area. We saw some sights, white and black. Lol. Nice hospital though. I’m so glad my mom has a pleasant, fun personality. She’s always a favorite of people taking care of her. I know that makes a huge difference in the quality of care.

How far back? Dimensional lumber has been around for a long time?

Did Mom eat some undercooked food?

I have no idea. I think you can get e-coli many ways.
