    Historic Hang

    My mother in law passed away last month and we are in the process of cleaning out the house to sell it. The house was built around 1856. Even though there are hooks for hanging a hammock from on the front porch I was never allowed to hang my hammock there. Finally got my chance last night. Temps were down in the lows 40's high 30's and I slept great. Nice and warm cocooned between downy goodness. If I ever get the chance this would be a great place to hang in the summer as there is a large ceiling fan overhead.

    For the gear heads I was using my BB 1.7 Dbl, a HG UQ and a Enlighten Rev X TQ.

    My wife (The Terminator) figured I would come inside to sleep due all the cars driving by.

    Looks like an incredible house.
    My wife and I have always wanted to purchase a old house like that.
    Do you have more pics?
    I would love to see more of it!

    Looks like a fancy place to hang.

    So sorry for your loss. I lost my much loved father- in-law in Sept.; his wife of 62 years was seriously injured in the same accident, may live out her days in rehab.
    That's a beautiful place, and to enjoy hanging out on the porch...nice!

    Neat hang. Old houses are great - if someone else maintains them! ;-)

    That looks like an awesome porch. It looks like a place of may happy memories. Good idea to add some more.

    My wife's borthers and sister were talking about making it part of the deal when selling the house that they be allowed to come back and hold a reunion on the porch once a year
