      I consider an 80 year old house a new build…...:-)

        Our house was built in 1941, there's a lady who lives up the street from us who is 86 and Pam looks after her a bit in the winter (shopping and stuff). She refers to our house as "one of the new houses" 😂

          I would kill for that house Anesthetist! But I understand the repairs and remodel issues. I grew up in a Spanish Colonial built in 1925(ish).

          Heck the United States as a country is younger than some houses in Europe 🙂

          I do feel that's where Americans go wrong sometimes. Most of our communities tear down old buildings and build newer/more efficient builds instead of keeping the original Culture alive. Some places will give tax credits for renovating historic homes, but that's definitely not the norm around here. Wish it was - it would make getting an older home more cost effective for us and renovating it:

                    I haven't posted pictures of my house yet, just the bar, which is my favorite gathering place in the house.  I keep going back and forth on if I should. Even with a new house, I had some issues to deal with. I developed the patio in the back which I added a fireplace. The house is built on a crawl space, so to prevent further problems, I had it encapsulated this past summer. Then on the side of my house, the property was on a severe slope, so I just finished having a retaining wall built to prevent land loss due to severe rains, which occasionally occur.

                      Looking for some jeans with a similar fit to my UHR BB's, all I've found so far are Samurai 710's and I don't want Samurai's. any suggestions?

                            Kinda copy/ pasta'ing Mega here… So my best jeans are my IH-555 01s... Problem is: they're perfect EVERYWHERE, except for the waist, which is at least 1.5" too big... I'd just wash 'm at 40C°, but they'd just stretch again...

                            So: if anyone knows of a pair of jeans, preferably something rather heavy and even quite bonkers, that has these measurements (giveth or taketh), please let me know... Much obliged fellas...

                            Waist: 33" (meaning they'd have to shrink to or stretch to ~33", not looking for something that measures 33" from the start, then stretches 2" after some wear)
                            Inseam: 33-34"
                            Legopening: 7.5" (7.5" at 33-34", not at 38")
                            Thigh: 12.2-12.5
                            Rise: ~15.5-16"

                                  UES 400T maybe?

                                    Can't praise the UES 400T more. They had among the best fit, fabric and construction of all my pairs. And the Fading is awesome.

                                    Fullcount 1101 could also offer a similar fit to the 710.

                                        Go back and re-acquire that pair of 555N you had. Mine were tight in the thigh but stretched more there than any other denim I've had. Comfy af now.

                                          Too late… I might try again, size down one... But I think they'd be too tight everywhere but the butt then... 😞

                                            Well: I've asked Giles to find me a pair that fits at least 12" in the thigh in a size 32… Figured I'd give him something to do  😛
