Except for the fact they would have no idea the make of either vehicle.
Hablo Bentley?

My thought exactly. :thumb:..and he needs to wok on himself next---so he fits in.
I'm not sure WHAT to think about it.. as James has noted earlier: the house is great, however the fella seem so unfitting. Is it just me, or: when someone truly enjoys an are so much, that them surround themselves with every single house item from that era.. shouldn't they, themselves.. well: dress the part?!I just hope he realizes that his piano is actually a pump organ.
You think it's like "let's make good television"?I'm wondering if they did that on purpose?
REALLY, I can not imagine bigger contrast.I hardly believe that he is THAT into the area but hasn't crossed into the dress area at all. He doesn't even have a modern kitchen (how many of us can boast an entirely vintage kitchen?), but yet he dresses everyday in t-shirts and jeans? Really?
I can here the used car sales man already, "these two beauties were only driven to church on Sunday by two sisters!"
I'm wondering if they did that on purpose? Like here, we want to do this article on you, will you wear these clothes so there's a contrast?

As for the householder in the article, I'm not convinced the real guy wasn't out of town, so they just had some random character from the street come in and pretend to be him.
The sales men looks at you with a big smile and says, "I can get you into one of these baby's for under $50!"And here's the used car lot. My mantle.
In this day and age - any random character would be thrilled to goof around and pretend he/she lives a different lifestyle. One way of knowing for sure: they use this sentence "I'm vintage" - Errr, no you are not.. you may be old, but not THAT old. lolRandom character is right. They got some hipster off the street and asked him if he would like to be on TV. lol lol
Depends on the occasion.While I applaud those of you that dress in keeping with the time frame you house was built in, some how, I don't think I am going to convince any of the women I know to wear any of these outfits!

Fun of owning a 127 year old home. I noticed the other day, the radiator in the dinning room was sinking into the floor! Some idiot decided it would be a good idea to have only a 12"x3"x3/4" oak floor board supporting one end, a ticking time bomb. I managed to jack it up with my port-power and wedge a peace of steal under it for a temporary fix. Of course, Newton's 3rd law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so now the slip joint nut is leaking! Probably the packing rope, from all the jostling. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos.
Finally fixed it! I could not get under it, the crawl space is to narrow there, not that it would have mattered. There were of course the water pipes and some electrical wire running in those joist. I finally came on the solution, not elegant, but it works. I got some 3/4" round steel rods, cut them to length, put four of them into the void left from the broken floor, then painted an 1/8" peace of steel plate brown and covered the round stock. Not very noticeable from a distance, and, it sure isn't going any where now!
Well, one day - soon, I hope.. I'll be able to share the same words... and I will remember to take photosFun of owning a 127 year old home.
So true.Vintage is a state of mind for them---mental illness to the rest of us though.
