I live in an old home. Over 70 years old at least. I don&amp;#8217;t know the exact date, but I know that this whole area is named for the original owners. The house is built not on a block foundation, but old oak tree trunks slopped up in molasses. All in all it is a quirky little house for a quirky guy.
&lt;/p&gt;

Biggest problem I have had with the place is the toilet. If there was one thing you wouldn&amp;#8217;t want to be wrong with the house it would be the toilet. I can deal with no A/C, roof, doors, holes in the floor, or monsters next door. All of those things are nothing compared to the sound of rising water. I have been through multiple hurricanes were the sound of blowing winds and rain did nothing to shake my foundation.
