We now live in Hilton Head...the old house is in Cincinnati...not any significant history. We started the rehab back in 2004 just making the house more comfortable ..and getting rid of the issues from the most recent additions. There was 2.5" tilt in the dining room that required sistering the joists, else all our marbles would end up in one corner. What started as a hobby/project has become more tedious as we approach 70 years of age, and it is very difficult to get 4 x 8 sheets up the narrow staircase.
Our newer home in Hilton Head has a creek in our back yard with dolphins, an otter, Merganser ducks, herons, and a couple alligators (Jake and Flo)...plus it is warmer...so we have moved and will be happy to say goodbye to the 156 year old house when the time comes.
