Sewing machines and table hockey
The cats like to play table hockey after we've gone to bed. This seems
to consist of chasing each other over the dining room table! Anything on the table gets knocked out of the way. Don't know how they score points though LOL Left the Pfaff on said table last night...It was on its back this morning (on some thick padding) and fortunately not on the floor. Ran it through its paces and all seemed to be well. Had it been the old all-metal Pfaff the cats wouldn't have been able to knock it over at all; that sucker was heavy. |

Umm ... why not just banish them from the dining room at night? They shouldn't be on the table anyway (eeeuw). My cats have always been packed off to bed in the kitchen, with the option of going out through the catflap if they want to play. -- AJH alpha dot hotel echo yankee whisky oscar oscar delta at tango echo sierra charlie oscar dot november echo tango |

We sure don't. The only places that can get closed off is the bedrooms and the bathroom, and the cat box is in the bathroom. |

Still had solid interior walls, though. It does make a difference to noise transmission between rooms. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

I had a co-worker once who's husband was British. They eventually moved to
England... But while I was working with her, she was lamenting about how her MIL was moving from the "old" cottage (getting to be too much upkeep she said) to the "new" cottage. The "old" one was 600 yrs old, the "new" one was 300.... grin I apply that to the USA... I lived in Denver and would take folks on the Coors Brewery tour when they came to visit. The tour directors went on and on about "old" buildings built in the late 1800's. Here, on the east coast, Jamestown is getting ready to celebrate it's quatracentennial (? 400 yrs) and there are a few buildings remaining from the early/mid 1700's... Just a mile down the street from me there is an archeological dig of a early 1700's port - Londontowne, last stop on the Chesapeake bay, used it to clean up before heading in to Annapolis to trade... Age is all relative... grin Cappy "Kate Dicey" wrote in message ...

There is a great article in the January 2005 Smithsonian magazine about the dig at Jamestown. Fascinating! -- Beverly delete no spam and .invalid to reply |

Ah well, I always buy old houses, and in the UK that tends to mean doors that close. I like them. I would love to buy an old house like what you have. Unfortunately, I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and the only house we could afford was a post-war tract home when we bought 22 years ago, because these houses are going for almost a half-million dollars right now (1000 square foot house, 1/8 acre lot) and there's no way I could afford one now. But I *LOVE* old homes and others that have character and aren't plain-vanilla tract-type homes. |
