You may be tired of hearing about the Landmark's Association tour, though here is more! Nothing gets you more motivated to spruce up your house than a party or putting it on a tour. Well I had good intentions of taking a few days off and doing some painting and cleaning of my own. Well my real estate business has been busy and clients come first… I ran out of time. Finding someone to clean an old farmhouse is difficult…after three calls to potential maids that got unreturned….I turned to Craigslist. I found a nice girl from Troy, MO that was willing to take the cleaning project on. Farmhouse cleaning is different than the light-dusting in-town…there is serious dirt and bugs to clean up. She did a great job! I thought of driving my St. Louis maid..Martha out, though she does not speak much English and I was not coming home on the same day to bring her home. The country may have scared her. Larry and his crew took on replastering and painting an upper bedroom that needed attention. I realized that I "redid" that room over 25 years ago….I was so proud of the Waverly floral boarder….now it is Wedgewood Blue. Don't look at the decorating too closely…the farm house gets everything that people do not want anymore in the city.
The House is on the National Registry as the Griffith- McCune Farmstead. Circa 1850.
Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do .
