Mex...

I live in a tobacco barn......for real.

I am sure most of you do not know what a tobaco barn is ....but it was a small square log built room apx..20 foot square and about 20 ft. high

Tobacco was hung on sticks in that barn and a wood fire was use in a brick and mortar flue to cure the tobacco

This one was converted to a house in 1953....when I bought it in 2004 it was a crack house that had been shut down and closed up for 3 yrs

But I call it home now:D

That is great!, a house is a house no matter how old or how new, my house was built in 59 as a government assisted house for the military personnel, all houses in my neighboorhood look identical, old but they still work, and the best thing, its paid for, at the end of my life it won't matter how big of a house i lived in, what will count is how much fun i had:D

so actually Joey you live in a seasoned log cabin. Sounds kind of cool if you ask me. When I moved up here to yankee land in 94 I wanted to build a log cabin as a house. This way I could feel like I still had a touch of the south in me. See I was apart of the government cut back in military bases. B.R.A.C base closure and re-alignment commission. 4300 of us lost our jobs at the base I worked at NADEP Norfolk we built aircraft F-14 super Tomcats and A-6 intruders mostly. Well the banks were negative about log cabins because they had no resale value. Ya there were some up here but everyone who built one stayed in it and never sold one thus the resale value did not show much. Well I gave up and found a design if a southern plantation home with a arched balcony crossing the open foyure into the master bedroom. Made some design structuall changes so I could put it up on a basement and settle for it instead of the cabin. Not bad a little over 3300 square feet but still everytime I drive by a cabin I still wish I had one. In the end I wish I would have dug a holle in the ground two stories down so the county would only think I had one story and 1000 square feet to tax me on. As they whipe it across my back every year to a tune of just over 6000.00 bucks. :mad:

If I could only talk the ole lady into moving back to Norfolk when I am eligable to retire and live in the house I still own down there we would never have to work again. I only owe like 10k on it or less. I could seel this one for the 207,000 these idiots apraised it at and life would be good. But she hates the traffic down there two time a day. I tell her when people are rushing to work we just have to decide which porch we are going to drink coffee on until the traffic dies down then go do what we want. The only important thing would be to choose one that the sun is not in our eyes. But she is a stubborn Polock and well I loose the aguement every time. or give up how ever you want to word it:)
