My family and I were lucky to catch Scott at his “other job”. I must say he is as delightful as he appears to be. He chatted with us for a bit and we got some pictures taken. It really brightened our day to spend that time with him. Thank you again Scott. Wishing you all the best.

Love!
David, your family was the highlight of my day. Thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself, and to encourage me. God bless you in this season of blessing and beyond.
We felt the same Scott. Truly a privilege. Same to you and yours.
Very jealous, but I live very far from Texas.
Might be worth the trip😉
Rather nice area rugs! Would look great in my wife’s newly renovated sewing room. Long drive for in store pickup, though. CA to North Dallas. I’ve heard the salesman is a nice fellow. That might make the trip worth it!
The area rug on the left looks a bit like the one in my 187 year old Victorian house living room.
Loving the idea of a 187 year old Victorian home.
It has its charm. Functional basement and third floor. Stained glass window on beautiful main staircase. Beautiful heart pine hardwood floor. Double brick wall.
And issues. Almost no doors or windows are standard. Clay sewer line collapsed 3 years ago costing $10,000. Central air (mandatory: allergies) $30,000. Porch needing repair. Small kitchen. Radiators.(takes up a lot of floor space and leaves cold and hot areas in same room. Replacing with forced air would have cost $45,000 and would have taken even more space. One non important radiator not working) Window on third floor needs replacing. Slate roof. Expensive to repair.
Ok, I’m grinning. Heart pinewood floors, stained glass windows. Beautiful!
I was going to mention Tom Hank’s movie “Moneypit”, however, I thought it was inappropriate since I’d only be assuming the house had some ‘issues’. Super glad you offered the moneypit features too. I inherited the home I grew up in when my Dad passed, and yes it’s only 1959, but yes, those damned clay sewer lines either collapse or get snarled with roots and either way, replacement is a must. 127 year old homes had craftmanship (craftpersonship?) not equaled in today’s homes, but still, hundred year homes do wear out a bit.
Picture enclosed. Try not to covet.
Of course it’s real stained glass! New homes would have it digitally printed on the glass.
Another picture
Can’t tell if that’s a recent photo, but either that’s a long exposure, or that is snow or sleet coming down. I can’t show this to my wife or she’d move in a heartbeat away from the coast of CA. The reason? That wrap around porch. Her dream home feature. Not enclosed, just “covered” as you have it.
Not long exposure, about 2 weeks ago under unusual cold for time and area. Frost on ground, not snowing. Think nearly frozen fog in air.
Staircase. Best I can do.
Ok, That Banister! That’s a skill I’d love to master. Love the turned stiles too.
Blurry. Floor. Best I can do
I’m sure I spent way less then you think i did on this house. Bought 10 years ago, buyers market, sellers were somewhat desperate; already bought new house. Not as nice a neighborhood as you might think. House next door vacant when we bought it. Park next to that was drug deal central (didn’t know). Better now, major bust about 5 years ago and house next door is now occupied by good neighbor who calls police when needed. Spent less than $150,000. Probably worth $250,000 to $300,00 now. (Cincinnati real estate property way cheaper than you may think. Out of state buyers buying houses and renting them out for rates that are high here.)
I’m guessing Michigan or Missouri? If that’s a recent pic, then that cold gray sky screams Great Lakes Area. In Miles, tell me how far my guess is off!
Nope. Cincinnati Ohio. Less than 5 miles from Kentucky. 252 miles from Cleveland on the lake. Picture about 2 weeks old when weather was unusually cold for this time of year.
