To appease, here's a photo of my new house, henceforth dubed Ms. 1890:
She's a cutie, huh? However, as I mentioned before, there are many challenges inside this cute house. Within these walls are 1,000 reasons why the house was within our non-existent price range. And I'm knocking them down one by one.* As soon as I have a few hours of daylight at home (probably Friday), I'll post before-and-after shots.
*If anyone has a can of Pine-Tree-B-Gone, please send it to me at P.O. Box Will-Climb-&-Chain-Saw Avenue, Massachusetts.

She looks lovely. Which sunny room will hold the stash? I'm looking for some dead-ash-tree-be-gone. I'll keep an eye out for you, you keep an eye out for me and maybe we can arrange a trade.
Oh wow! She /is/ a beauty! And I can't wait to see what all you guys do to help her shine again!
Beautiful girl she is definitely! I am so happy for you, Wifey and Little Man. Lots of happy times to come.

Wow! She is gorgeous! Here's to lots of love and laughing inside those walls.
what a beautiful house.
Fabulous! That is a going to be a fantastic place to raise Little Man. Congratulations!
Love it! Where is it? You can email me privately to let me know.
Are you serious?! It's so much larger and more beautiful than your remarks about nasty linoleum, etc. made me expect. ;-) What a score!
What an incredible place!! Oh I'm so jealous. Can't wait to see more photos.
What a grand old gal. And HUGE! Good luck with the tree, and please be careful!
Good Gosh ... she's BIIIIIGGGG! A house with "character" ... that's what I like. Hey, I've got one from the early 60's. I'm talking 1962 ... yellow appliances & pink bathtub, LOL. I do like some character. Or did someone call me a Character? LOve your new old house!!
She's gowahjus. And wow, I'm impressed. I'm tired watching *other* people do that stuff. :)
Ms. 1890 is a lovely gal. I'm sure you'll make her purtier too.
that is just a beautiful house. amazing.
Gorgeous! And you will love her even more after putting so much blood, sweat, and tears into her. At least, that's what I recommend you tell yourself during your next marathon wallpaper-stripping session. ;-) Seriously, though, she's perfect.
