Yea, but does that mean you have to get their permission to paint or make any changes to the outside. We have tons of historic homes around here and you can't touch them without approval even though you own them.

Cool beans, Jinx! Make sure to get a good photo of the plaque to post.

In other news, my wife and I are closing on our first "together" home. It's quite small and we rent the lot it sits on, but it'll be ours, no mortgage. The plan is to spend no more than five years in it before upgrading to a much bigger model on our own land. On the bad side, there's no cable service so we're dependent on the Dish for TV and possibly internet if the local DSL isn't good enough. On the bright side, it's quite shady and the neighbors are said to be friendly. I'll post pics after we get the pink slip and keys (and do some sprucing up).

Congrats BrianR - Aside from that how are things?

classicman · 08-19-2010, 02:39 PM

Thats awesome ... How does that impact the roadway situation, if at all?

xoxoxoBruce · 08-19-2010, 06:05 PM

They'll move the road closer so people can read the plaque.

jinx · 08-19-2010, 07:40 PM

Wouldn't surprise me, the jerkholes.
No further words on roadage or lightage. Must be in committee...

I don't think we have buildings that old in Colorado. I lived in one from the 1860s once...and the one I live in now was built in 1903...but we are pretty far West. I always wanted to live in one of those historic sites, though. Pretty cool, jinxy

And congrats to you, Brian!

Hey, wait, what?
Why hasn't anyone else posted the contents of their fridge?!

C'mon people.
Historical plaques happen everywhere, only special people have fridges.

Here are pic's of the new place.

fargon · 08-23-2010, 04:28 PM

Here are more.

fargon · 08-23-2010, 04:31 PM

And now the best part, the backyard.

kerosene · 08-23-2010, 04:42 PM

very nice, fargon!

classicman · 08-23-2010, 05:00 PM

schweeeeeeeet!

I thought for moment that you had used a showercap on the bike seat.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-23-2010, 06:19 PM

Them's sharks on the shower curtain.

Fargon, make sure your renter's insurance includes flooding.
