[Magdalen] trying to sell my house

[Charles Wohlers]

Indeed good luck to them. Our Victorian basement has been modernized - part 
of it it has a cement floor! The rest is the more normal dirt, and the older 
part is just a crawl space. Basements are for the furnace and storing your 
canned goods. Nothing else.    :-)

A couple went through here this morning.  They want a Victorian house, but 
one that requires no work.  They don't like my basement, which has low (that 
is, Victorian) head space.  Victorians were shorter than we are.

Good luck to them, I sez.

Molly
P.S. We have someone from Toronto coming through tomorrow.
