    Oooohhhh..I like the second one the best. The colors are awesome. I always wanted a really big house, but I have a small little cape-cod-looking place, and that's okay. It's small, but cozy, and best of all, only a few years left to pay on it! YAY! :)

    I love old houses too-I had one a long time ago-80 year old hip-roof colonial. I loved it but it was high-maintanence.

    I love old homes too. I even like abandoned, boarded up ones as long as they are old. Nice pics! I would love to look at those houses in my neighborhood.

    Old houses have character, and most are built to last. The new homes built now-a-days look nice, but have no character. They look exactly like the house next door. Plus, they're built shitty.

    I currently live in an old dual-brick ranch with plaster and lathe walls. I can't hear anything outside when the windows are closed, and I live near a high-traffic intersection.

    In a "new' home I had a few years ago the walls were just drywall and insulation, with foam boards and vinyl siding outside. I could hear my neighbors talking casually next door, right through the walls. It sucked.

    I'll take an old home anyday.
