Looking at it from the practical standpoint, by the time all the upgrades are complete and re-construction you could buy a really beautiful ultra home in a big city.

However, who da heck wants to be practical. I'd rather have to visit the outhose than live in a big city.

I like the two fireplace concept. I don't know how folks made it in them days. Of course it doesn't get terribly cold there, but even so I would imagine they had their share of Pulmonary diseases, kennel cough or what have you. I can't remember the technical words for it. I remember reading about most folks in those times slept in a semi reclining almost sitting position so fluids would not collect in their lungs.

One other thing not house or history related. Are you of Irish decent? Daughter #3's daughter is taking violin/fiddle lessons and had a recording of a group called Celtic Woman. They are a singing group/ singles and are they ever great. They sing like angels both singly and as a group. Mainly Irish music, new and old. They have a fiddler in the group you just have to see to believe. She plays the fiddle and dances around the stage and just captures the heart of the audience. By the way, all the women are gorgeous. The fiddlers name is Mairead Nesbitt. Just a firecracker.

They have a concert on Public Broadcasting System. If you get a chance watch it, you won't be disappointed. I don't have a drop of Irish blood but I like their music as a lot of our old country songs are based on Irish ballads.

Best wishes, Bill
