I'm sure you already checked into it, but just in case you didn't <g> make sure you won't be tearing down a load-bearing wall when you combine the 2 rooms into one! Don't know if you remember my posting about it before, but we completely gutted a 1700's home. We worked on it for a year before we moved in. If you guys can make it through the renovation together, you're stuck with each other for life! Seriously, it can be stressful at times, but it's so worth it in the end. btw, here is a pic of the old termite-infested MAIN beam we had to tear out and replace with a steel one. The house should stand for another 200+ years.

It hasn't been as stressful for us because we aren't doing it ourselves. We have a family friend/contractor doing all the work for us, its just taken longer than expected because they were finding problems as they were going. I mean it went from just fixing/re-doing the bathroom kitchen to new windows, doors, lights, wiring, walls etc. The house was officially ours Aug 1 and we still don't live in it and probably won't until late October/Early November. We found out that the wiring was so bad that behind the walls were smoke stains and the wires were black cause they were sparking....the walls are all plaster (because the house was built in the 40's) so the ripped most of them down to put drywall up for the new kitchen/bath. There is also mold in the basement that they are working on getting rid of and the hardest thing was the windows cause it's taken over a month to get them in. The new windows are now in and we're just waiting for the kitchen and bathroom to be done so we can move in.

Not sure what mineral rights are.... but we'll own it all, so we can do whatever we want with it (not sure if that is what you were asking?) We're going to leave most of it that long grass, the way it is now. The grass will be good for pheasant hunting, and since over half of the land is wooded, it will be good for deer hunting

I don't think that's an issue though cause it doesn't sound like you have minerals worth mining on your land.
