The house moving photos are great. Moving houses used to be pretty common but it's much more difficult - and expensive - nowadays with all the overhead wires. Hope the California homes are saved.

This is an advanced DIY job in my view. There are lots of things to consider--and be proficient at. And, information being the better part of success, sometimes info like this is best deployed in a relationship with a professional remodeler to help manage and ensure the work is properly executed. A building permit is also another good insurance policy. I do have some photos, but they are many discs ago. I'll try and find them. You can see one framing shot here -- http://www.formalfarmhouse.com/bathroom.htm -- Good luck. Randall–You’re right. This is an advanced DIY job in my view.

]]> Comment on A Couple of Random Thoughts on Old Houses by Mark http://www.oldhouseweb.com/blog/a-couple-of-random-thoughts-on-old-houses/#comment-3222 Mark Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:21:48 +0000 http://www.oldhouseweb.com/blog/a-couple-of-random-thoughts-on-old-houses/#comment-3222 I too see zero appeal with new homes and would take a crumbling old home over a shiny new one any time. We're in the midst of restoring our third 1850's home and every time we have looked for a home we have always told our agents that we won't even consider anything less than 100 yrs old. That's their "break in" period and they are just ripe to occupy when they reach the century mark. But I must say I am glad not everyone thinks that way or finding an old home to buy would be even harder.
