I honestly would be all for setting side 1 of 9 houses every year just to recreating a past house, as faithfully as possible to the original. Maybe it's the nostalgia kicking in with my advanced age
, but I'd find it quite a trip to revisit an old haunt, so to speak. And if it happens to be a house from a year you couldn't attend, then you get a second chance at it. Just 1 of the 9 houses though, no more.
Not saying I think it's likely or feasible, just that it wouldn't turn me off a bit, personally.
