operation extra information

I called the Logan county assessor today to see if they could give me any more information about the property we purchased.  They could only tell me that it changed hands in 1977 and again in 1997 when it sold for $81,000.  They could not even tell me the age of the home. Well don't underestimate the local farmers and word of mouth.  We had a farmer drop by late this afternoon and let us know  that the house we bought was built in the early 1940's by the man's grandfather that we used to rent from.  Wow, it is such a small world.  It was constructed from the lumber salvaged from a church that was torn down.  David got on the phone and called our former landlord to find that indeed he had rollerskated in the basement as a kid.  We were also told by our former landlord that the well we pumped water from last night used to have the best tasting water around.  Might need to check into that to see what they would charge us to dig it a little deeper if need be so we could use it for our household water usage.  Tomorrow comes the beginning of the digging.  Exciting times!  There will be a kettle of chili and some home made yeast rolls for lunch tomorrow along with a big fruit salad and brownies for dessert.  Come on over and lend a helping hand if you have some extra time.
