That listing has been online for about a month and a half now. I'd float the bid and see what happens.

I was in the plumbing bussiness for a long time.

 

[Pocketman]

Plumbers must find all kinds of stuff in old houses. My brother's friend found an antique revolver while re-plumbing the Tudor Hall (Booth family home) near Bel Air, Maryland.

How long had you lived there when you found those??

about 2 years after i moved in i took out the drywalled ceiling in the basement so i could put in a drop ceiling / suspended tiles... guess what came down on my head as part of that endeavor

I would have to do away with the hack job addition built over the front porch and restore it to the origional configuration.

 

[Zombieman34]

I will pass read the listing and it is far from being the way JMB had it. It says that there are 4 baths that are 'rough in' dont know what that means but i picture the worst. Have to agree with Johnny C the front porch should have been kept original.

awesome man! Did you guys know that his dad was a blacksmith/gunsmith with the Mormons as they went west. I think that's where he learned the skills as a boy, and the rest is history. I've visited the historical site of Nauvoo, Illinois and seen his Dad's old gun shop (restored, of course). Very cool piece of history that's only one state away... instead of 5-6 states away to go to Ogden, UT.
