Ping me when you are ready to start. If I am available, and you need an extra set of hands I would be willing to come help out.
My baseboards could use some attention if you're looking for a warm up exercise.

Yea you don’t see that in the I remember when threads. I think my grandmother was the only one of 6 children to live past her teens. We’ve got it pretty good.It is real reality check to walk though a large, old graveyard that is well cared for so it’s easy to read the old stones. Oakwood in Raleigh is an example.
Before the turn of the last century many family plots will have multiple graves of infants and small children who didn’t survive winter.

That is absolutely the fact. There are some expensive old stones at Oakwood with dead babies buried under them.And from what I've seen, it didn't matter if they had money or not. Every family has their fair share of kids buried around that time.
My old MIL and I had a discussion about healthcare today and how so much money is spent, versus how she grew up poor in the depression.Yea you don’t see that in the I remember when threads. I think my grandmother was the only one of 6 children to live past her teens. We’ve got it pretty good.
I have read that we don't really live longer than our ancestors. It's the improvements in infant mortality rate that positively effect our published life expectancy.
Seems reasonable after visiting a few graveyards.
Would be good to have a Michigander around.Ping me when you are ready to start. If I am available, and you need an extra set of hands I would be willing to come help out.
My dad took me to his family's graves in a Pittsburgh cemetary. It had been so long since he'd been there that we had to ask where the graves were. The lady in the office looked it up and exclaimed ' so it's your family with all those poor babies that died!'. There was stone after stone for dead children, all before age two. We looked up cause of death which was 'consumption'. Fortunately they weren't his siblings but from the previous generation to his.It is real reality check to walk though a large, old graveyard that is well cared for so it’s easy to read the old stones.
