Living in a cozy place and a warm environment makes it hard to move out and start a new life again. How are you now? Have you posted any update about selling this house? I hope you can spare some time in sharing how your recent house looks like. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://ironpointmortgage.com/" rel="nofollow">Kevin Fritz</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10338320793559403660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18762198.post-39983676984127544142014-02-21T04:22:56.149-08:002014-02-21T04:22:56.149-08:00Its classic and elegant design makes it worth to b...Its classic and elegant design makes it worth to be preserved. Years have passed already, and I hope you’re still residing at this beautiful home. If not, I hope you sold it to responsible owners so your house will be in good hands.

It's rare to see houses being moved nowadays but you did it anyway. This house might be as hard as rock, but to be sure, hire professionals to land the house properly. How is the state of this house today? <br /><br /><a href="http://virginia.churchillmortgage.com/virginia-home-mortgage-products-services/" rel="nofollow">Levi Ervin @Virginia Churchill Mortgage</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542291986242237753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18762198.post-11329734651305765622013-02-20T02:43:20.641-08:002013-02-20T02:43:20.641-08:00Bravo for saving the house!

The house my dad lived in as a teen was moved across the street to make room for the interstate (in Louisville, KY), he loves to tell the story of everyone coming over to watch it be moved. I have that kind of connection with the house my mother grew up in; my aunt had to sell it in 2004. The new owners seem to be taking good care of it, but I still can hardly think of it without crying.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01426649248840375486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18762198.post-72738796840278821272009-09-29T07:10:53.297-07:002009-09-29T07:10:53.297-07:00Hi.

I live in house which is made of bricks. It is also little bit old and it would be great to change the location but it is not possible.<br /><br />Good luck!<br />JayRichmond BC real estatehttp://jaybanks.ca/richmond-bc-real-estate/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18762198.post-75422526828943219862009-09-28T22:27:03.646-07:002009-09-28T22:27:03.646-07:00A beautiful account.

My wife's connection to that home is such that loving it is a part of loving her.

Given these economic times, we are limited as to what we can do to restore the house. I would love to take out the lowered ceilings, etc. But for now, we will have to be content mainly with cosmetic work--new paint and counter tops, etc.Terry (John)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07523479530843509695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18762198.post-38159777352070774622009-09-28T14:43:42.578-07:002009-09-28T14:43:42.578-07:00Wow.
