“How is the house coming along?” “Can I see pictures?”

Cranky Old House was born as a way to journal progress on this house for family and friends (and give me some extra motivation to get things done). I’d also like to help out others who may be in a similar situation and could probably learn a thing or two from the horrendous mistakes I have made, and will continue to make.

FAQs
Q: Who runs this site?
A: My name is Joe. Hi.

1. Having a bad disposition; peevish.
2. Having eccentric ways; odd.
3. Full of bends and turns; crooked.

Oh yeah, I can easily use just about all of those to describe this old house.

Q: Can I stop by for a tour?
A: Sorry. It’s a private residence that is occupied. Maybe I’ll post the address some day, if it ever goes up for sale. Until then, you can find out more about the house by clicking the house info link at the top of any page.
