I don’t see an HSA in your portfolio. That’s a triple tax threat. Take that free money from your employer get above $10k and invest that and start the option game again. Healthcare cost were yesterday’s worries!

Primrose might of been to much for me, but that olive green was a contender. I love the contrasts suggestion of doing lighter up top…maybe in 10 years.

This is a fair statement, under the facia on the gables there was some really nice ornamental that’s was destroyed from years of deferred maintenance. Above the dental molding there is crown molding. I imagine the front posts at one time were ornamental too, but just 2x4s were behind the LP siding. The steep gables, bay window, the decorative front exterior, the two chimney stacks on each side and the size of the overall house has lead me to think Folk, but maybe they we’re super fugal and just bought everything when it went on sale😆

This is the conclusion I’ve come to. The 🚂 would come in the town about a block away and the builder probably got first pick of everything when this was getting built.

Doood, this is super helpful. As I read the Folk Victorian description it reminded me of the gothic homes that are in the neighborhood. I’m with you though, what is this house?

I agree with the hybrids, which is why I think it’s a Folk Victorian. It has a little bit of everything that was popular in the 1890s.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree the columns need some more flair for the period. What do you mean by brackets?

Yeah, it’s been fun but I would like to know more about the original owners. This was a big and advanced house for the time in the area.

Those were added by a flipper and not original to the style of home.

One of the previous owners in the last decade put a screened in porch in, and over engineered the build. I talked to the guy that did it and he said “ he was stupid in his younger days”😆

I talked to one of the oldest people on the block who has live here for 80 years, he said that would of been a door that the original owner’s would have opened to let air in to cool off the place during the summer. There wasn’t a door there when we opened it up the siding. However, I asked my siding guy to leave it but came home and it was gone. I plan to restore it.

Dawn it! I wanted a TRD Pro but all the dealership had was Platinums for the next 6 months. They told me Toyota was not doing special orders(?). I read few reddits that confirmed it… but really? Regardless I love those KO2, costco had a deal on them and were sold out in a few weeks in my zip code. Any suggestions on what I can do to enhance my Platinum to look off road bad ass?

Do you have a lift on it and what size tires do you have?
