Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Dodged a bullet last night

The old farm house across the road from us was built in 1875. It's still square. The couple that owned it when we got here (1986) had it in fantastic condition. What impressed me (the engineer who inspects the guts of houses while his wife looks around upstairs) the most was that they had the original 6' (maybe) deep dirt floor cellar excavated down another two feet, concrete floor put in, 2.5' of concrete block wall built a foot or so inside the original field stone foundation, and all modern mechanicals put in.

It's been under contingency for sale to a churchless parish for a year for $700k. We're scared their going to tear down the house to build their church - their plans already show two big barns and four other outbuildings being scrapped.
