OH BOY! Look out, Sheldon might be all over this!

I know! The similarity is incredible. Same year and style. Their house even has a turret and porch nearly identicle to the picture Sheldon shared of his house.

I am very excited for them. This seems like an incredible adventure for them to share.

My oldest daughter and her husband just bought a Queen-Anne victorian house built in 1905.

They are finding all this out first-hand. Fortunately they have they money and time to get it done.

I came across this article today. It points out the fact that restoring old railway buildings (or any other old building) can be challenging. Fortunately, these guys are forging ahead!
