My friend Dianne Hicks Morrow would be the first to call her hundred year old farmhouse on Prince Edward Island a “crooked little house,” Trying to square it up by cropping proved to be impossible. The floor in the kitchen slopes by inches from side to side and when I gave their grandson a top, it continually whirled in the same direction—down the floor in a straight line from the sink to the wall on the other side of the kitchen.
The front door pictured is, I think, an original. I didn’t do a very good job of photographing it, but wanted to share it nonetheless. She’s written a book about this house she and her husband Andrew love so much entitled, “Fixing Up the Farmhouse,” which is a most enjoyable read. Almost as enjoyable as my week-long visit there in early September, 2016.

Even not so old houses are not even after they settle. This house was built in 1974, but it’s crooked in lots of places. Houses settle. Floors settle. Winter makes the ground heave. You need a sense of humor to love old houses 🙂

I lived in an old house that stayed square.. perhaps it is a matter of climate.

That’s a lovely screen door though. I imaging they’ll be taking out the screen and putting in the winter window soon. Thanks for sharing this Judy 🙂
