Reply to What's the most interesting New Hampshire sound? by dcofm

Lived in CA for a few years. What I missed was the sound of what I call the NH laugh, the from the heart, hearty laughter heard in public places like restaurants, town meetings before they begin, any places where people line up. It was that auditory sense of uninhibited self that I missed the most

Reply to Why are so many of the homes dated? by needsab0uttreefiddy

We've owned our 1954 house for 31 years and our 10 year plan was done in year 28. Just saved enough to renovate the original kitchen 3 years ago. New bathroom reno 8 years ago. Carpets were easy to remove, out with wallpaper, new paint all through in year one. Redone interior paint twice more, about every 10 years. Mades a huge difference. New windows one side of the house at time each 3 years apart. Buderus oil burner and new zones early on when the system was affordable. Now it looks wonderful and is weather tight. Nice mature landscape ad gardens too! Just keep plugging away to make it your own. Kids want to live here after we don't. Now worth 5 times what we paid. Be patient.

Reply to comment by Omelettedufromage14 in I really hate the Portsmouth circle roundabout by fjphil

The worst at the Portsmouth Circle for me is taking a right into the NH State Liquor Store when cars are zooming down from Maine on the US 1 Bypass and taking the first right to go up the Spaulding 16. You have to cross their path somehow to turn into the store with less than a 100 yards and little line of sight to do so.
