Hey Buckeye....nice title under your avitar

The house, the house. Okay....we bought it not long after the '94 quake. The whole place was earthquake damaged and "red-tagged". The former owner was in default and refused to move...he was going to declare bankruptcy and made it clear that he could stave-off an eviction for a year (thank you democrats & advocates of dead-beats). The bank wanted to unload the property and there I was ready to buy it fast.

It took me over 3 years of hard work, endless weekends & nights and LOTS of painstaking time to make the dream-house come true. It's gonna be featured this fall on HGTV's "Designing for teh sexes" show....I'll give word.
