I know you love history Tim, but you can't save them all.  |
Well, that was one to save if any are. Totally significant piece of local history. The former town and road connecting America's first public road, the National Road of George Washington's conception, and Liberty Road, joining Baltimore and Frederick since the 1700s, are named after this property. It was pre-Revolutionary War. And my point is it could have been sold to a dismantler for all it's one off millwork, virgin lumber, and hand hewn logs and timbers. It was a gold mine of early American salvage materials worth as much as or more than what it's costing them to demo. So it's costing them double, or rather, taking out of pocket when they could have being filling it.

Absolutely. I wish my friends had put it in a historical trust. Jeff was born rich and daddy gave him the place. So he's built different from me. He pisses me off. Holly was sweet and the real reason we hung out as two couples.

I wouldn't want to be in that guy's shoes. But I never would be. He's a fool and now it's making his life hard. I'm sure it's a knock down now. Already on it's way. Time to finish the job. He would have been better off paying all the money for a contractor instead of trying to save money doing it by himself. He's paying now, that's for sure.
