Jinx, how the hell did you ever get the picture? And how old is the house?

We have never been able to learn much history of our place, no date even on the title or other docs. Some old timer did tell us that when a house down the road was built in 1896 ours was already standing. When knocked out a wall to make the living room bigger (using a "porch" that was a "recent" addition), all of the newspapers that were stuffed around the windows for insulation were local papers with news that we had dropped the A-Bomb on Japan. Pretty cool but I have yet to find anything of interest in the "main" house.

Also I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of some of one of our outbuildings (there are 4) with a second story loft type door (going to nothing....no second story) and cement floor, with a sort of wainscotting about 2' high all around the inside.

Anyway, hell of a cool picture there.
