My wife and I bought this 1906 Victorian earlier this year. We’ve been doing lots of work and can’t wait to share the progress we’ve made. It sits on 2 acres with several hundred feet of Wisconsin River frontage.1yr ⋅ RK_mining ⋅ r/centuryhomes

It’s been 15 months since I shattered my ankle, tore all the ligaments out of the joint, ruptured my achilles, damage my plantar fascia, and plantar plate. 7 months since the 3rd surgery to put it all together.
