Re: Front porch workman drama
Jade I am so glad you shared that!!! I was priming and painting the clapboards and the fancy shingles on both sides and just thought of it as overkill, but it can't hurt...Now I have proof it was a good idea!! Thank you for mentioning it.

Re: Salvage Storage
one of the horse stalls in the barn have windows intended for a mini cold frame or green house and the doors I need to refinish. The floor is dirt so we put them all up on cinder blocks so there is no contact with the ground.
Thanks for reminding me I need to get that project started.....

Re: Insurance Company Forcing Painting
Well I know that when my Aunt and Uncle tried to get a house on VA they wanted the house painted (It was February). When the agent was told the paint wouldn't cure, the answer was: "The bare wood needs to be covered!" They ended up going conventional. Maybe you should check and see into another insu...

Re: Bathroom help
I didn't think there was anyone who could beat me on the small bathroom award... I have 8ft long by 5ft 6" wide. It doesn't give much room for anything. I am within inches of being in code with the location of the toilet and I have a shower 36" wide. You might want to go small like 32 inches and cor...

Re: How much have you spent on restoration..
Well Tony. If you look at my house with its tin can siding, it didn't look so bad.What was hidden under it was an expensive night mare and in the end I still pretty much have the same house. Just that it won't implode on me. We knew about the crack in the support beam. (not done yet it's stable) We ...

Re: the saddest house in NYC
I hope she haunts their rear ends until they move out!! That house was perfect right down to the last corbel!
If people want to live in a modern house, why don't they just buy one and leave the old stuff alone???
I can imagine what they did to the inside.... brrrr...
