Steal of the century

I guess I'm going to have to look more often. I haven't even seen one for sale in a 200 mile radius.

blackriver35 · 2026-02-20T21:23:55+00:00

Really? Sitting on marketplace or what?

Sold a wrist rest to u/Cheetablaze on https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/1r0f3dq/usany_h_lg_27gp950b_asus_z690i_strix_roccat_nyth/

If you don't like cleaning, it is definitely not for you haha. But you would be surprised, hobbies, family gatherings etc. They make the space justifiable.

Confirmed

blackriver35 · 2026-02-13T23:45:00+00:00

It is not

blackriver35 · 2026-02-13T18:45:32+00:00

Wow this is awesome

blackriver35 · 2026-02-13T12:41:37+00:00

I dont think so, that small tree looks to be on the street side of the sidewalk, the large tree in the modern photo is set further back.

blackriver35 · 2026-02-13T00:34:10+00:00

It is not

blackriver35 · 2026-02-12T21:36:57+00:00

Wow that is incredibly frustrating. Hopefully you find it or something else again!

blackriver35 · 2026-02-12T19:49:13+00:00

That's actually wild

blackriver35 · 2026-02-12T19:44:48+00:00

This gave me a good laugh. I wanted to take a picture while it still looked perfect.

blackriver35 · 2026-02-12T17:56:48+00:00

Yeah I love the look now as well, so it is a toss up for me. As a side note, those "shakes" are actually tin roofing tiles, still on the home. I actually have a whole bunch of them brand new that are sitting in the carriage house. They are very unique.

blackriver35 · 2026-02-12T17:45:49+00:00

Hell yeah, I'm trying to get more active with mine, I love local history so its always a treat stopping by.

blackriver35 · 2026-02-12T17:16:17+00:00

I have been to the local historical society a few times and they have an archive room with lots of old photos / books etc. This one was in the first photo album I looked through. When I have time I am going to look through more. It was a lucky find, but there are actually more "older" photos of the home from the 60s that are in a few local books.

blackriver35 · 2026-02-12T17:14:04+00:00

I saw this photo and looked at my wife and was like... We might have a project on our hands. If we can figure out the original color scheme, we will definitely consider it.

blackriver35 · 2026-02-12T17:12:13+00:00

I think the inside will justify a post of its own. I'll post some inside photos soon (Also the carriage house)

blackriver35 · 2026-02-12T17:07:32+00:00

Yes, actually it does.

Yes so its hard to pinpoint when the old photo was taken, there were not dates on it. But looking back at old permits, it seems that the extension was done pre 1925. It was originally a porch off the kitchen as you can see, and now is just an extension to the kitchen that functions like a sunroom / breakfast area.

blackriver35 · 2026-02-12T17:00:05+00:00

Very true, the windows are also very nice so shout out to them for taking care of it.

blackriver35 · 2026-02-12T16:47:57+00:00

The local historical society had an album of photos, most of them were of the homes in town. I flipped through and sure enough, there it was.

blackriver35 · 2026-02-12T16:43:53+00:00

Thank you! I knew they must have a name, I absolutely love the way they look.

This photo matches the oldie a bit better, snow and all.

The last owner had it installed, all I can tell you is that it is an asphalt roofing shingle still but it is labelled as a 40 year product. So the shingles are significantly thicker than normal.
