My house is 99 yrs old and a real GEM, 2 story, 3 BR hardwood floors, 3 car garage AND a separate 200 sq ft bldg outside that will become my office this next summer... and it was $140,000. (And yes, I know for a fact that I stole it!) There is a lot of new construction here, and the 1800 sq ft I have could easily cost me $200- $250k new.
PS The topic on the Today Show this morning was money and how it's tacky to ask someone how much they make or how much they paid for something.
PPSS Sis, do you still have to pay for your milk since you've got those BFE cows?
