Damn straight! Winter 2008-2009 here... I'm antiquing the cabinets this spring.

Nice! I like it.Miss Sis said:Our house was built in 1894. We moved in August last year and it is our first house so we were very pleased to get a period property. There are some nice period features and it's surprisingly spacious.
Here's a shot of Buchanan Cottages with all the recent snow we just had. We have some plans for sprucing up the outside in the Spring or Summer.
Our neighbour on the other side of the semi-detaching has lived here since 1946. Back then our road was mostly orchards and there was a large plant nursery just around the corner.
I hope that I might be able to find an old pic one day showing our street as it was before all the bungalows were built in the 60s. The nice thing is it is a mixture of housing from Victorian to 1920s to 60s/70s which makes for a much more interesting streetscape than you often get in the UK.

Lillemor said:Had it built in 2000. Wouldn't want something older. Very generic looking. Great for mid century modern interior restyling if I ever get around to that. The only thing I'd rather have is a retro 50s style ranch house but due to allergies and asthma I'm going to have to insist on a new, dry, evenly warm house with floor heating like the house we have now.
... and one wonders if the three-prong outlets are really grounded, or just a replacement outlet put in when one of the originals failed.John in Covina said:According to the info I have the Little House in Covina was built in 1962 or 63 slab construction. Many of the eletrical outlets are only the non grounded 2 prong type with a handful of the 3 prong.
