I'm not mad at him either. I think we all know I'm just curious

She actually told me snakes and sharks live in that hole.

That is the collapsed root cellar I mentioned in a previous post. I salvaged what red sandstone I could from it then started using it as a compost pile. Then it just became a bottomless pit for tree branches.

I pegged her for Philippines. She speak Tagalog? Do you? My wife is Chinese so I'm pretty good at telling my Asians and Pacific Islanders apart. At least the women.

No I only know a few words. My wife speaks 5 languages. Tagalog, Mandarin, Outer Mongolian, Spanish, and English.

The Mexicans constantly mistake her for Mexican.

That Wisteria can be a pain - runners everywhere.
Mom had one on a trellis that came crashing down in a bad storm so I built a new one w/ pressure treated.

Here's a pic of the root cellar from the front before it collapsed circa 2008. The Wisteria was just fledgling to the left. There was 0 in the back. Now it's a goddamn forest. The maple that my wife is holding, I have to constantly save from being choked the fuck out.

I AM going to pull weeds in the front yard today, I'll keep repeating this to myself and it might happen.

Mission accomplished. Buds and suds time.

Damn that's too bad it collapsed, looks like it was quite useful

Where did the 3rd pic go? lol

It was quite cool. The whole inside was lined with decent sized pieces of red sandstone and was arched. Unfortunately there was a concrete slab poured on top for a greenhouse and I think it couldn't bear the weight. Or just time. The greenhouse and center pieces fell off long before I took ownership. I slowly (or stupidly) went inside and extracted what pieces I could.

This is pretty much what it looked like in its prime…

Any idea of original build date?

No idea. No one knows nothing about this place. It was in despair and disarray when I got it. This place was built before they kept records lol. Assessment says 1913, but I'm pretty sure that's the year that it says if no definitive date is known. I was told by a local historian on a Facebook group that he thinks it's a homestead that shows up on an 1885 map. A lot of old shit. Got a real 80ft deep artesian well too.

Edit: Added pic

Yeah I was thinking that it was built significantly before WW1; before building codes, and before folks had money lol. They had the handy materials and no time limit so it was cheap to make.

I tell my wife I have "asian-dar". I can tell the race of any asian woman just by looking. She's full filipino.

SO, she asks me all the time, "look at my high school friend. what is she, huh?"

I'm never right.

Back when they could build a roman arch.

Yes but that's because they are real people unlike the Kangal, the cardiologist, James polyglot wife.

"No, dumbass. She's Korean."
