We first bought an 1873 Second Empire victorian that had been converted to a two-family house, and promptly converted it back to a single-family. Five years ago we saw our current (and final!) house go up for sale and made the two-block move. It also had been converted to a two-family house, and we are slowly but surely restoring it to its original condition.
When I'm not being an engineer, spending time with my family, or working on my house, I occasionally play the flute. I like, but don't have enough time for, reading and music of the classical, jazz, or blues types.
