My friend and auctioneer mentor, George Woodrich, sold me this old saltbox farm house in January of 2005. I had big plans for this place. I was going to open a little shop there and call it "The Seasonal Saltbox." My plans were to open 2-3 times a year. Well, as my followers know, "life" happened, as it does for us all and other things came first.
I recently had 2 parties interested in purchasing this old homestead. Al and I have entertained this idea as this old place has been empty and neglected for far too long. We went over there Monday and mowed the lawn and I removed 2 dead skunks - yes...skunks...
We were so discouraged to find how bad the foundation had crumbled this past year. We did have heavy snow, wet spring - it just isn't safe. So, I don't know if either of those parties will want to purchase it. If not, I'm truthfully not sure what to do. I posted a picture on my business face book page. I was shocked at all the views and positive comments.
We have been praying about it...we will see what happens.
Here are a few pictures of the inside. My plans were to leave the bits of wallpaper and crackled plaster walls the way they are. I love the door knobs, and crackly paint.
The view - Wisconsin farm fields.

ReplyDeletelove the crackle paint. hope it all works out.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful old home, and lovely old wallpaper. I hope someone can save it! Good for you for being honest about it!
ReplyDeleteThere are people who are willing and able to take on a big project like this. It would be a shame to just let it fall down....Sell.... and let it's new loving owner big her back to life.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the other 2 parties want to knock it down - we are the only ones who want to save it -
DeleteThat's to bad...
