Hey Terry, I can sort of feel the air, right now at 5:35 is 97 degrees on my front porch. My house faces west, but it is in Historic Northeast and was built around 1900. The wood is like true sizes, 2 x 4 is really 2" x 4" and so on. The oak floors are about 1 1/2" thick and tongue and grove. The wood around the windows and doors are oak finished in cherry. I too love the city, but we are getting run over by wild animals. I live close to Gladstone Blvd. and see racoon, deer and pesky squirrels that stripped my peach tree. Also have seen a few garden snakes. And know out around Lake Jacomo there are copperheads and timber rattlers. Next time you are down this way you need to go over to Olathe and check out the K.C.BBQ store.
