Hope you didn't throw them in the garbage. They are better quality than the repros and salvaged ones get some decent $$ on ebay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918422105938650986.post-63322962912375689902014-10-26T13:08:48.516-04:002014-10-26T13:08:48.516-04:00Thanks for reading!

You say "I know a lot of people won't want to read it" and if so I may belong to the minority, because I find it far more exciting... you know, I have neighbors who seem to believe house maintenance is to decorate, just to decorate. They just keep decorating while leaving their dysfunctional gutters, crumbling concrete path, loose exterior service line, thriving weeds etc etc as they are. And you know what? The result doesn't look sexy at all :). Decorations won't shine without solid fundamentals, and I love your blog and your work because you talk a lot about sound fundamentals -- no gimmicks, no shortcuts -- before start talking about staging decorations. Wish I were a SoPo buyer, I'd be excited to be at your open house events!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918422105938650986.post-30964834355132947962014-10-22T16:08:57.032-04:002014-10-22T16:08:57.032-04:00Thanks!!!

Sort of like picking a spouse! What's most fascinating to us, your Devoted Readers, is how honest and thorough and dedicated you are to each house and its future owners. You and your crew are sterling. Mitzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13058758507978295767noreply@blogger.com
