Beautiful house you found there buddy. As AVGWarhawk said, older homes have more character, and personality. I love that covered wrap-around porch. Hope you're gonna leave that there. Hard for me to tell from the picture, but that looks like 3 large Oak trees in the front, and maybe a Norway Spruce on the right rear?
I'm glad to hear that you're doing better with your health. Any improvement is better than none. Keep us up to date on the repairs. I love old houses and have been in many of the old mill homes in Paterson. The wood working, moldings and carvings on some of those old homes is nothing short of astounding. I especially liked some of the old pressed-tin or cooper plate ceiling tiles I've seen. Anyway, best of luck to you and your wife with it.

I've seen enough death of all kinds and between all age groups to say that we're all on borrowed time here.
