The house I looked at the same day I found out about my job

Irony, eh?  Mom and I had an appointment yesterday afternoon to go look at the Day Ave. house.....I found out about probably losing my job in the morning.

And I LOVE the house.  :(

Welcome to Day Ave.

looks like my grandparents house

1924, I swear it has the exact same light fixtures!
The laundry chute, yup! bathroom vanity miror in the upstairs bathroom, yup! Exact same door knobs and locks! (which are very easy to pick)
I love my grandparents house! It has dormer windows too.

That's awesome! Does theirs have the basement with the root and coal cellars too?

I love the early 20th century for home-building. :)

yes, the basement is "daylight" so it has a door and some windows. the food celar is actually used for canned foods (or was several years ago when my grandmother made home made black berry syrup, yum!)
For the coal, there was a shut, that to the modern eye is used a second driveway, just bellow the kitchen window (modern bay) there is a detached garage.

Wow. I think I'd practically murder for that house.

GORGEOUS

What a beautiful house. I can see why you would fall just a little bit in love with it. I'm very sorry about your job. I hope you will be able to buck the odds and find a new, even better one, very quickly.

My dad (a chemist) told me a couple of years ago about a paint he mixed and used to stop a basement in Florida from leaking. I should get the recipe from him, if he can remember what he did, and post it.

I haven't lost 100% hope for this place yet...if I find out soon that my job is safe, or get a new one fast....

[pdlloyd]

Oh, I hope you may be able to keep your job, especially if you like it. I hadn't known that was still a possibility. But, whatever happens, I hope it all works out for you.

It IS possible....they could choose option B instead of option A (instituting unpaid furloughs of 10 days for employees instead of closing 2 branches) but we're on a razor's edge right now.
