You look like you have the same house we do. They were built around 1900 and they remain all over central Maryland. We are in Mt Airy, didn't know they were still around in Brookeville. We finally had to replace the metal roof. I miss the sound of the rain hitting it but don't miss the maintenance and leaks.

 

[Mark The Homer]

Wow, that's amazing! Yep, built around 1900. We even have similar porch roof supports. They're called "turned" columns or posts, meaning they're not just a simple square post. Looks like your windows are replaced. And you have gingerbread! Mine didn't come with that. Built with real 2 x 4s, measuring two inches by four inches! Petrified wood! Our roof was originally cedar shank but they laid metal over it at some point. We think maybe around the 1930s. We have chimneys on both ends, but no fireplaces. When we bought it, the cooling system was listed as "zephyr." Out house in the back, of course. Where else are we going to go? I've been in this house for almost forty years.

 

[Boone]

Very cool! Seen any ghosts over the years?

 

[Mark The Homer]

Seen any? No. Heard any? Not sure. The kids think so. My neighbor across the street says she has a ghost for sure. Her house was built during the Washington Administration.

Was yours built with heart pine hardwood floors? Our house was trashed when we bought it, the floor guy told us the floors that were black from a century of dirt buildup would refinish to a beautiful red. You can see it in this pic of my previous dogs.

 

[Mark The Homer]

Yes, ours has that same color. But we stained ours back when. I can't say for sure what the wood floors are made of, I always assumed it was hardwood, but my wife thinks it was pine. We really don't know for sure. She's from New England, so maybe she knows better than me. I've never heard of "heart pine hardwood" but I like the sound of it. I just googled it and it looks good to me. So I'll go with that.

That carpet looks like the one we have in our dining room, haha. In fact, so does the chair. So does that iron works table.

Nice looking dogs!

Thanks. I was told these heart of pine floors are very rare today as the wood is difficult to obtain, I had never heard of it either.

The pipes to the kitchen sink froze this week, a foot under the cabinet floor on inside pipes that don't even touch the exterior wall. I'm still wraping my arms around this, no wonder the kitchen is always cold. I can't figure out why it chose this particular week, over the 23 years we've lived here we've had much colder nights.

Oh well, that's life in a 125 year old house. You know the drill, always a surprise and we were due.

I feel you. My wife says "Let's spend Christmas in SF with our daughter," and I say, "Are you mad??? Who's gonna keep an eye on our water pipes??? You go. I'll stay here." That's my winter job. Keep the water pipes from freezing. I got a space heater in the cellar and the furnace is under the kitchen. And I keep thermometers under there so I can monitor the air temps. They are the same thermometers I use for the 'fridge and freezer. When it's really cold, the temp down there is in the mid-30s, even with the heater and furnace. Here's the device I use.
