[Grovenet] Help sell the Viking house(s)

[Katie Allnutt]

I left a message on Maggie's machine that I would be more than  
willing to sit in the house (for many hours if necessary).
It is a gorgeous house and well worth the amazing asking price these  
days.

I don't have any kids who went beyond woodworking I (not that I  
didn't want them to do so) and our community is so much better off  
having this program at the school.
Does anybody remember on the tours of the Pittock mansion where Mr  
Pittock chose who to work on the construction and he chose local  
young crafts people to do the detail work. He knew he wanted a house  
that would last a long time and if it needed repairs he figured that  
having the original workers around would only be a bonus for him.  It  
is the same concept. If you buy a Viking house, a lot of the people  
who actually worked on the house will likely be around in the future.
