It's Been a Couple O' Years
Dec. 17th, 2018 06:05 pmI'm sure it's hidden away on some piece of paper, but I either moved into this house on December 18, 1988 or December 28, 1988. I checked online, but it only gave the sale date, which was in October. The closing date was much closer to Christmas.
The house was a bit, err, older then With an old asbestos covered gigantic gravity gas furnace in the basement which had been converted from coal to gas. The furnace and its pipes took up a quarter of the basement. The four cold air return pipes were around two foot in diameter. The floors were either old maple, moss green carpet, or pretend delft tile in the kitchen. The kitchen dated to the early 50s, with an apartment sized gas stove. The third floor was a mother-in-law's apartment with its own gas heater and apartment sized gas stove. It was and still is knotty pine. The floors have been redone twice. It's been painted a few times, and there are newer shingles on it. The fireplace, where we burned most of the move-in boxes, now burns gas. It has new storm windows and storm doors, and a newer side entrance. Oh, and a newer furnace, that's now about fifteen years old.
Of course, the house itself was built in 1907, so it is a wee bit older.
