Almost exactly one year ago, we purchased a house. What a house. A fixer-upper, definitely. But so much charm! So much charm and such an inviting price that we couldn't let it get away from us, so we made an offer that was 1500 over the asking price, even knowing it was a fixer-upper.
We have learned much in the interval between then and now. We have benefitted from the blogs of other people with old houses, and feel it is time to share as well.
We are unable to work on the house 24/7, though we might want to. It would be finished by now if that was the case. It's not anywhere near it. But we have completed some monumental tasks, and I am very proud of the work we've done. We mostly work during the weekends, though the summer is a different animal and we work during the week then as well.
Future posts will include topics such as:
In-place restoration of both steel casement and wooden sash windows
Wiring
Plumbing
Chimneys
Putting in a new window
And many others of varying scopes.
I'm excited to share with everyone!
