Hi all, Hopefully this summer, when I finally finish the parlor, I will start restoring the bathrooms of the house. A few months ago, while perusing our newest copy of Old House Journal, my wife saw an advertisement for towel racks that used radiant heat to heat towels. She thought this would be ama...

Cadrad, after you've done everything listed above, go over the floor once or twice more with tack cloth (I always do it by hand...the way the Japanese traditionally clean wood floors if that helps at all. It forces you to be meticulous and get close to the floor, which helps you see anything you mis...

Hey! Get these women out of the way so I can properly lust over your house!! Just kidding, the corsets are beautiful too. I showed them to my wife, she loved them! But man...that fireplace, those windows. What a house! :shock: I'm pretty sure that if I lived in your house I would sell my tv and just...

Well, I think first would be to focus a bit more on the positives. Don't get me wrong, I think its good to mention the leaky chimney, need of paint and insulation (although the chimney and insulation seem like possibly inexpensive fixes?), but instead of saying its 50 minutes from Metro, say its a s...

Oh my...I've always thought the singer of that song was most certainly male......

I'm with Powermuffin, I'm intrigued by this special tooling method you mentioned was used on the exterior. Pictures please!

But yes, welcome to the forum, and beautiful house (I am in LOVE with that stone wall).
