Coming Attractions

A few evenings ago my wife and I watched an old B/W movie: Mr. Blanding Builds His Dream House. Mr. Blanding (Cary Grant) is an advertising executive living with his family in a to small New York City high-rise apartment.
Through a series of events he and his wife (Myrna Loy) decide to buy an old farm in Connecticut, complete with an old house and barns.
What happens next is the reason we remembered and checked the film out of the local library: Dottie and I are in the process of moving into an old (1940’s) house in North Carolina. The house needs some TLC and hopefully nothing major.
Back to the story of Mr. Blanding, each new day brought more problems and more expense. Hopefully, our experience will not be the same.
BTW this film was remade in 1986 called The Money Pit with Tom Hanks. Guess we need to add this one to our need to watch list.
