14. The Right Way to Save An Old House

Next door to me is a small house, just like my own, that is probably 70 years old. For about thirty years, this little house did not have much upkeep done to it. Then the wonderful owners both passed away and the house went to their relatives to process and sell. Those new owners simply did not have the money or resources to put into this little gem all the money, time and effort the new owners put into this house. The equivalent of one hundred thousand dollars in time effort and material went into this house and the adjoining garage to make as beautiful as it is today. I thank the wonderful people who bought it for all the great work they did, as the house which sits next to my house, is truly a pleasure to look at now. This is the right way to fix an old house. If you can afford to do it. But many people can't. The second-best thing is to buy a house redone with this level of craftsmanship. What a great job. I just thought I would show the great work all of these great workers did on this old house. She is really beautiful now and will stay that way for decades to come.
