Thanks Melissa, I guess I hadn't gotten back that far yet, because that's exactly the thread I was looking for!

I think your original thread would be a great candidate for the "Reference" forum, because that's where I looked first.

"Old House Compendium" not sure if it is under publication but you might get a copy from your library. Great! If this is the "Old House JOURNAL Compendium" then my library has the 1980 version, which I've got on hold. I see it was updated in 2007, and there are cheap used copies on Amazon, so I mig...

Hey folks; I did a little searching for books that have been recommended on old houses, but searching for "book" got me 3000 results! Here's a bit of what I found, though. Please reply and let me know what else I should read! EDITED to add: Please let me know if I misquoted you, or if you want me to...

I had to look at that picture for a couple of minutes, with my jaw dropped open, before I could even understand what I was looking at!

I had to get my husband to come look at the pictures. We're both way happier about the relatively harmless cluster flies hibernating in our wall cavities...

The best pictu...

Oldhouseluvr, I am afraid you are right... and I will be afraid to set foot in there in case I say something to make an enemy! I could not honestly answer the question "don't you like how it turned out?". I've already been asked to contribute items to the gift shop (I'm a knitter and quilter) and I'...

Really is the best of both worlds. Plus you can keep your ladder in the shed each season :wink: Okay Skuce, do you run workshops??? Can I come apprentice with you for a couple of weeks????? :-) I have two houses now with wood windows, plus my husband's family's home needing about 40 windows refurbi...

My main room needs redo too- I'm going to tackle it like this 1- do ceiling Hm, you make a good point, Raine. I have to admit I'm really nervous about what I'm going to find above that dropped ceiling, which makes me want to procrastinate on it... but maybe I should find out *first* so I don't ruin...

Brilliant! I'm so glad I asked! Kansas, thanks for reminding me about houzz.com. I found it a while back and OD'd on it a bit. :? It's time to go back! I do get a bit frustrated with the design-y emphasis, but as long as I take regular doses of Old House Interiors with it, it's good for inspiration,...

That is a beautiful house! Thanks for posting - it made my day so far!
