Been in this one since Labor Day weekend 1991. 3rd water heater, second roof & just bought the 3rd heat pump. Sometimes I wonder, but it's ours as long as we pay taxes. A huge gamble but ins. don't have to be paid if it get's that tight. I'd still have property & likely good basement walls if the bad happens. I'll blue tarp & tent pole this somebitch before I'd rent again.

Not really sure, but it was the original general store for Vienna Township back when this part of Ohio was the Connecticut Western Reserve. I asked at the court house for it's age and was told back in 1860 a survey of houses was done in Trumbull County. My house was considered old then.
The house has a partial basement and the rest of it is up on rocks. Just like some hunting cabins.
Must have been built around 1800 +/- a few years.

The house I live in now was I think built in the 1890’s and was located about 12 miles or so from it’s present location. In around 1937 it was moved here to the ranch to avoid being located at the bottom of Lake Travis. It was then rocked with stone from here on the ranch. New kitchen, masterbath and bedroom, and laundry room added in 1998. The old stone arched back porch was converted into the dining room Our house is somewhat similar. Was originally built in 1910 in a little town about 5 miles north of here, which was flooded when Canyon Ferry Reservoir got filled in 1959. The house was moved here and put on a more "modern" foundation. It was a fairly big house for its time, two stories with five bedrooms. But it lost one of the second-story bedrooms during the move. It has since been fixed-up/remodeled quite a bit, some by us after buying it 25 years ago. While it has a modern "efficient" woodstove for backup heat, we replaced the oil furnace with a super-efficient gas one around a dozen years ago, and added central air. The original wood siding had aluminum put over it sometime, which we just repainted. Oh, and the previous owners built a garage in the back yard.

Our original farm house was the second house built in Madison county in 1868. There was an addition built sometime after WW I . My parents bought the farm in 1950 and put an addition on it that year. We built them a new house in the fall of 1978. Some juvenile delinquents broke in and burned that new house down before my parents could move in. My father had died of a heart attack just hours before the house was torched. We built my mother a small 2 bedroom house in 1979 and built a 2 bedroom addition with a large garage in 2013.
Our current house was built in 2012-13…but no stories to share about it…

When I was a kid the house was our deep camp. Had some plumbing issues back then. And there was a dearborn butane heater in the back bedroom. But otherwise we had an old fireplace. No insulation and it cooled off pretty quick in winter! 🤣. It is a sturdy place with the rock walls.

Neat to know yours was originally the deer camp!
The other interesting thing about our house is we "traded" for it. When we first moved here bought a much smaller (and even older) house on seven acres a few miles from town. Eventually our home businesses outgrew it, and it also made more sense in several ways to move to town. Found this house for sale by the owners, who'd always wanted our property but never had the money when it came up for sale.
So we had both places appraised and they came out within $500 of each other. We hired a lawyer who wrote up the contract for the swap, and rented a U-Haul with the other folks, which we ran between the houses to move all the stuff.

Current home built in the early 70s.
New one, under construction. Fish Camp? Hunting camp, possibly fish camp if we decide on a pond in the front yard at some point. Creek dries up if no rain for about a month. I vote fish camp. Rent a backhoe.

1922 officially but probs 1921. Arial photo circa 1919 Amazingly a large portion of those Valley Oaks are still there. Benjamin Holt had a house built couple streets over. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/NjhDfcCg/09-B26757-93-B2-4-CFE-9-E3-E-F3-DCCCE04279.jpg)

I dug the basement in 1993 and we were able to live in it for a couple of years. I started on the top of the house in 1995 , but didn't finish it until 1997. Got electricity in 1997. In my defense, it was a one man show and I had to break often for hunting, fishing, and other necessary recreation. For a few years, I even had a job. I built it from the basement to the roof. I did the plumbing, the wiring, and the septic system. I mixed and poured the concrete. It's nothing special, but it's mine. GD
