Re: If your are bored ,,then maybe this will take up some
My late ex father in law built a garage and if I remember correctly it was from the Sears catalog. It was like a kit. They dropped it off and he built it.

These catalogs are best, I have a 1927 edition under the coffee table, fun and interesting to look through

I would like to see the plans of one of these houses bought from Sears and erected (or built ) which ever way they advertized it..

Yep, that would be something to stumble on the old plans. My old home was built in 1928, a tudor, most solid home I've ever had, when wood was good, heavily grained, true to size if not slightly over. Miss having an old home.

Re: If your are bored ,,then maybe this will take up some
I took wood shop and built things in the '60s and '70s. The growth rings between then and now are day and night. I've worked construction on much older buildings, and the wood we have now is nothing like what went into those old houses. I go to the Habitat ReStore to get old dressers and such to make projects from. That old wood is so much better than the stuff you can buy today.

Life keeps getting in the way of the truck. Trying to put my youngest boy through college and that takes most extra cash. Hoping to get back on the truck when that settles down a bit. Very frustrating walking past it in the garage and not being able to get it done. Still going to paint it blue though. Kim |

It took me 6-1/2 years to get my 4-year B Sc degree, but I was self-supporting. It helped that I had the GI Bill, but not that much.
