Thanks for the run-down, I've enjoyed following your progress. I can sure understand how is can be a big playtoy -- as they say, the only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys?? I think it's wonderful it's right next door and you have the ability to take your time, it should be a beautiful home when you're done and heck, in five years we may see the RE market improve :) You live in a beautiful area of the country, we did a trip to Niagra Falls a few years ago and then zig-zagged all through that area and New England coming home. Was a long trip but saw some beautiful places and fell in love with Vermont.

------------------
Full scope...er...whole house rehab. Lots and lots of work to correct
decades of neglect. Sell, rent, or live in? I have no idea at the moment.
Strange as it may sound, this is one big "playtoy," for me. I've said
before, I can think of lots worse things to do with my time and money. It's
a learning process as well; a chance to challenge myself to learn, and do,
things I never thought I could do.

>Where is the house located and how old is it?
-------------------
It's in Western NY state, not too far from the PA border. Age...the title
search went back to 1945, but I know it's older than that. I would guess
about the same as the house I live in (right next door), which would be
about 1900. It definately shows architecture and design elements of the
Craftsman period, which lasted (I think) until around 1920.
