Mine is the newer one on the block. Right accross from me is a 1875 and next to her is a 1876. It has been alot of work but enjoy the end result.
Yes I will be taking two weeks off for MALEternaty leave
I also waited 35yrs for the right one so I have had lots of rest.
Here is the house before and after from the front. We were told that it was built by Mr. Backer in 1928 but it turns out he bought it from Mr. Johnson in 1928 and Johnson built it between 1875 and 1880. When I tore the kitchen apart (witch was built on the old back portch) I found on one of the drawer backs in pencil "October 15th 1930 G F Backer"
