We bought a house. That's kind of true. We bought the idea of a house. Imagine an old, neglected dog that has been tied up in a backyard and needs serious rehab. Now, imagine that dog as a house. We bought that.
We can't help it. We love old houses. I grew up in one, which really means I should know better. I know what it's like to feel the wind through the cracks around the unframed window near your bed. I know what it's like to catch water in bowls dripping from the ceiling while you sleep. But, the lure of a historic home just calls to me.
We have bitten off something huge. This is not just a house that needs serious help, but it's a BIG house that needs serious help. Maybe we can help each other somehow. Time will tell...
