Fingers crossed. We made an offer on the house next door to convert to a shop. I am on pins and needles. It was built in 1820 of stone and has a crawl space and a cistern that can be drained and used as basement storage. I will put my dust collector there and run piping to the floor of the shop so the dust collector is drawing everything down, using gravity to my favor. I just hope he takes our offer.

Yup, small world for sure. We live at 5614 North Renwood. We're on the corner of Renwood and Orlando. We bought the house since the kids only had to walk a block up Orlando, then be on the ball field at Rolling Acres School. Our daughter went there, but when our son started school, they converted Rolling Acres School to a middle school, and he had to go to Northmoor School. The neighborhood has slipped a little in recent years with more renters than ever before. We had our house broken into a few years ago, but generally still feel good about the place. There is only one widow across the street that has been here longer than us. Never thought we would be the old couple in the neighborhood when we bought the house.
Take care, Rich

Hi Brian,
I moved here in '75 to work at Caterpillar as a draftsman. I was raised on a farm about 30 miles south. Both my kids graduated from Richwoods, classes of 94 and 98, and we live about 3 miles from there in a subdivision called Rolling Acres. It runs up to Northmoor Rd, which you might remember runs right in front of Richwoods. I graduated from Hartsburg-Emden High School, class of 70, so you have me by a couple years. Take care, Richard

Hey Brian thanks for the lead. What did you end up buying? Andy
