I don't, I just have a pool that likes to break.
The garage was the barn originally. When they connected the house to the barn they then converted the barn loft into what's now our master bedroom. So it's a pretty cool little space. The wood floor has a lot of charachter and I'm certainly adding to that.
Lol, there's a Hayward plant in our town, and I've got a friend who's an engineer there. Your house sounds pretty cool. When are sending everything to the body shop for repair?
It is a cool house. Only about 2,000 square feet but I noticed that every contractor who comes through comments about how cool it is. Normal people don't seem to notice. But houses were just more interestingly built in the 1800s. I still love it although I could say more has broken in the 2 years we've been here than most homeowners deal with in over a decade.
Already dropped the front clam/bumper off at the body shop yesterday. He's not the cheapest place for sure, but he's trusted by the local corvette guys, he's local and he was within the range I wanted to spend. And the front clam needs to be done right it's where all the focus is on the car.
Paint overall on the car, is not terrible, but like I mentioned inside and out everything is nicked, dinged, pieces are loose everywhere. It's a ton of small stuff both from a body work perspective and interior perspective above and beyond the obvious damage. The car looks like it has 130k miles, not 13k. But overall, I don't know if we need to repaint the car. With just paint correction you could make this car look pretty cool right now.
It looks better in person than in pictures.
From about 15 feet away it's really an eye catching car.
in fact I was outside fiddling with it this morning. I put the battery on the trickle charger last night, and the local dealership is supposed to call me back because I can supposedly start the car without de-activating the alamr system by entering a pin. I need that pin from the dealership. Checked and the car had oil in it. Doesn't look like any leaks underneath, so I may try to start it today.
Anyway while I was out there fiddling a cop pulled over in front of my house. Got out and chatted me up a bit. Said he stopped because he saw the car and didn't know what it was.
I think he was half interested in what it was, and half checking to make sure I wasn't stealing it. So it's already grabbing attention in sleepy new england (land of the silver camrys)
He gave me his card, and I asked him to take it easy on me if I come buzzing by his cruiser
