Inspected House Built In 1847

[John McKenna]

Inspected A House Today, Built In 1847.
The other day I met a man and his father fought in the civil war.. wow.
His father was in his 70's when he was born, and he was 79.

What is the oldest house you have ever inspected?

House looks nice from the picture, better than a lot of newer ones. Shows if built right and you take care of it, it can last. Oldest one I inspected is the one I live in, 1893. It passed inspection too

Daddy was approx. 75
Add sons age..... 79
I met him 4 years ago.

Total = 158 years.

Civil war ended in 1865 which was 142 years ago.
His daddy was approx. 16 years old at the end of the
civil war. Boys as young as 10 years old fought in
that bloody war.

OK, that makes sense after your "the other day" got clarified to "I met him 4 years ago". You'd think I'd have better things to be doing wouldn't you? I do and I will. Oh, and my oldest inspection so far was 1905 bungalow in central Austin. Best regards....mb

Until I can get my business completely formed and steady work, I'm the Cheif Engineer at a hotel that resides in a building built in 1856.
