Attuvian Mel, I'd love to see that Hickory House when built. On the other hand, as a 73 year old, I'd dare not live in it. I'd be spending almost all my time on the second floor, dreaming of and messing with steam engines. That leaves far too many trips up and down stairs on creaky knees to get to the bathroom. Of course there would be the obligatory stops in the kitchen going both diections. Well, probably on the return leg only, now that I think about it. We all wish you well, Mel. John
Mel,
I'd love to see that Hickory House when built. On the other hand, as a 73 year old, I'd dare not live in it. I'd be spending almost all my time on the second floor, dreaming of and messing with steam engines. That leaves far too many trips up and down stairs on creaky knees to get to the bathroom. Of course there would be the obligatory stops in the kitchen going both diections. Well, probably on the return leg only, now that I think about it.
We all wish you well, Mel.

Mel, I was kind of hoping you would take on the Hodson Queen Anne style house. With all the brickabrack I can under stand why you passed on it.
As far as health, at just over 75, I am lucky to still be able to work at pretty physical pursuits such a carpentry and wild rice harvesting. ALthough I suspect I will be needing another hernia surgery in the near future. The last one slowed me down about six weeks.
Mel, you are inspiring with your can do attitude.

My eyes are my biggest problem, that and my thyroid trouble. If it weren't for my lighted magnifier I'd be in trouble because I model N scale and wouldn't be able to see my work. As for my thyroid. Unless you have problems with it you wouldn't know what I'm talking about. All I can tell you is that it takes all of your energy away and you don't feel like doing anything but laying in bed watching quiet TV.
