My wife and I are playing music both days of the civil war reenactment in North Vernon, April 22/23. That being the case, we're going to head out there a couple weeks earlier than that and have a good look around at housing, areas, towns, etc. If possible, it'd be nice to meet some of you guys while we're there. We'll be staying at our daughter's place just outside of Columbus.
Been working on the interior of our front porch we enclosed, trying to get it finished so we can get this place on the market. I should have the T&G finished by Tuesday afternoon, then it's going be a LOT of trim work. It's hard on an old fat guy, especially when I'm up and down the Baker's scaffolding, or working at the top of a 12 foot ladder, but interior finish work is something I enjoy, and when we start showing the house, this "room" will be the first thing prospective buyers see. A lot of work, but it's a heck of a lot cheaper than paying someone to do it. Maybe a bit fancy for a porch, but the idea is, with a little electrical work, someone could easily turn it into the new living room. Was kinda funny...my wife asked me how come what I was hanging was a lighter color than what was al ready on the ceiling? Explained that pine yellows over time, and the stuff on the ceiling was 3 years old while the new wood was, well, new. Showed her pictures of the inside pine when we first started hanging it and it was the same light color. I told her the new wood would catch up to the old, but it'll take a couple years.
Hope to see some of you before too long.
