I am glad your foundation is fine but you sure did get a lot of plaster damage. Most of my house is covered with paneling and dropped ceilings from previous owners so not sure if I got more cracks in the ceilings but I think I did. Good luck on your house.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357873728216769645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300529476306875209.post-3436115605815169762011-11-08T19:22:22.954-06:002011-11-08T19:22:22.954-06:00@ Kate H. -

What I hadn't heard are the speculations about the new inland sea and tsunami when it blows. Delightful.<br /><br />Would that be the Humboldt Fault you were referring to as running through Kansas? I remember as a kid in the early '60s getting some activity out of it, but only enough to rattle the dishes.<br /><br />Wonder where yours came from.

My husband and I just bought a house circa 1952 with the pink and black, and the green and grey original bathrooms intact. <br />Not quite the same historical project as your house, but nonetheless an interesting project.<br />The kitchen is lovely, but much in need of updating. Not at all on the scale you and your wife have been working on: but I'm sure you will understand the interest we have?<br /><br /><br />any rate, best wishes:<br />TessTesshttp://1tess.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300529476306875209.post-23344940524704291462011-01-27T15:22:34.097-06:002011-01-27T15:22:34.097-06:00Fascinating Houses!
