I don't k...I was bummed by the commentary too. I don't know what people expect from evacuation centers. I went to a high school (our high school rival, in fact) back in the day and we slept on the floor & ate powdered eggs while our cat hid in our car. Yes, it should be as good as it can get but it's not the Ritz. Anyway. <BR/>The rest of this is a comment hijack, and I'm sorry about that... <BR/>We are buying a few homes in the Highland area and at least one was in awful condition and we're restoring it. I just spent all day wallpapering, we've found original cool pine walls and beautiful antique fixtures.... added lovely chandeliers. Anyway. We plan to rent the place out, (we live in S. Highlands ourselves) but were wondering about rumors of tax breaks & other things for people who fix up historic houses. It's a bungalow, Craftsman style house on Blvd. St. Do you know of websites where I can find info? I've looked at the restoration society and others, but just am still confused from a very practical standpoint. We would do it (and are doing it) out of sheer joy for fixing up such a cool place but would love to defer a little cost. Anyways. Sorry for the long hijack. If you want specifics (address, etc) let me know on my comments & we can discuss more. You seem to know a lot about this and have a love of the area, which I'm growing. :) Thanks, Kimkim wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220371428805781236noreply@blogger.com
