"If her kids are chewing on fireplace mantels she has more problems than lead paint. That is just crazy. Hopefully the new owner will appreciate them and in a funny twist of fate she will visit the home they go to and the lucky buyers can exclaim…"

"I can't remember what we painted ours with but think it was a Rustoleum paint that is rolled on. I will tell you that using ordinary house paint is a bad idea, that is what was on there before and we had to take it in to have it sand blasted. :("

"I'm so bummed that the niche isn't something more exotic! LOL That is so great that the neighbors know so much about your house. Mine seem to think they know all about my house but most of what they tell me makes no sense at all. I…"

"Hey Brad if you ever get bored and want to relive the days of crawling under a house come on over to MT. My crawlspace is dry and connected to a small basement but full of cement rubble. No idea why, those people did some really perplexing things…"

"Hey welcome back to the states. No madcap experiences from the animals just smooth flying/sailing huh? Great!!!! Have you let the dogs loose in the yard yet or do you still have them on leash? Can hardly wait to see what you figure out about the…"

"Dianne, I'm just always in awe of that door everytime I see it. nice to see a familiar face on here too. :)"

"I remember watching a show on the body in the barrel. The previous owner had killed his lover and stuffed her and his unborn child in the barrel and put it under his home. Then forgot about it!!! If you can't remember that you killed someone…"

"Yuck don't get my imagination going like that for bodies. The previous owner had a revolving door on pets that came and gone. Nobody really knows where they dogs would go to but she'd get tired of them and poof they'd disappear. Add…"

"Looks like a farmhouse type of house with additions, probably about the time the foundation was poured. The proof would be in the basement where the old foundation should still be or at least the remnants. I can see the old set up and then the newer…"

"could the brick part be an cistern room or something along those lines. Maybe you'll find out it was part of a bootleg operation, that would be a cool find. Or maybe some sort of root cellar. I've got some odd areas in my basement too that…"

"Only a true dog lover could say with a straight face that the dogs sleep in their bed while they sleep on the futon. :) How are you going to fill up the house with furniture or do you have stuff already stashed away here from before? Can't…"

"How fun, you get to camp out while waiting for furniture. LOL At least the dogs will be happy with whatever you toss down for them. Mine just need a forgot t-shirt on the floor and they are in doggie heaven. Is this house bigger than your home in…"

"I will have to look them up, how horrible that they are destroyed after they are useful for the season. Hope more people get them out fo the country and continue the lines elsewhere. I have Chinese Cresteds and part of their history is that they…"

"Spanish Greyhounds, wow never heard of that breed before. Sounds like maybe the in-between size from the Italian Greyhound and English Greyhound (is that what a greyhound is, English?). That is great that you took the two in from a poor owner and…"

"You bring up another problem, I wouldn't be able to run the rail on the arch wall because the arch is rather close to the ceiling. I think. Now I'll have to look when I get home from work tonight. LOL I like your idea Mike and maybe…"

"I may not be understanding what you are saying totally - hard to picture without seeing pics.........but here is a shot - - - what if you simply forget about trying to tie them into the stairs and/or arch trim. Just put them at the height you desire…"
