A neighbor in my hometown lived in a sears House. They still have the blue prints/instructions that they used to build their home.
The house I lived in for the first five years of my life had been built by my Dad from such a kit, although I believe it was an Aladdin, rather than Sears.
It still remains well maintained to this day and I had a chance to go back and revisit it as an adult.
OK, found this photo take of the back of the house back in the 1950s.
Have also now located both a photo of the front of the house as it appeared in 1953 and of the house just a few years ago.
(This is the house subject of prior posts that I lived in for the first five years of my life and which had been built from a "kit" supplied by Aladdin. Aladdin, Sears, and Montgomery Ward all offered such mail order "kit" homes in the 1950s after the end of World War II. The pieces were manufactured in factories in the Midwest and then shipped by rail to the locations where they would be assembled. Likely these were factories that were being put to use after they were no longer needed for the war effort.)
Here was the house in 1953:
And here is a relatively recent photo of the same house:

Linn Cove Viaduct in Newland, NC. It has an amazing trail that passes underneath called the Tanawah Trail.

It is also very fun to ride your road bike across the viaduct. Unless you have a fear of heights.
Getting close to 3 months old. Our little one is a pretty happy boy.
