Bring everyone up to speed-

  • 1939 stone house built by Ralph Butts ( Fire Chief of Raleigh NC from 41-47?)
  • We are the 3rd Owners. Most everything is original. Glass door knobs, skeleton keys...
  • New Electric ( Carrington Electric )
  • New Plumbing
  • New Central Air
  • Totally New Kitchen
  • New Back Lawn
  • New paint in every room downstairs
  • No more wallpaper in the upstairs bedroom
  • ------Now for new floors~

We have moved out, moved up, well this isn't the Jefferson's for crying out-loud! It's just time for the original old oak flooring to be redone. They haven't been touched in something like 66 years. That is longer than my dad has been around. So we have moved things around in the old stone house and are awaiting the fine folks from Foster Flooring to show up in the morning and start sanding ! Now I know that I COULD have done it myself, but I just don't have the bloody time. Besides, this is what John and his guys do everyday. It will look much much much better than anything that we could have done ourselves, and in the end.....well come back on Friday night or sometime over the weekend to see what happened. Till then....Here is a pic of our original stuff...
