When I did the outside part of my claw foot tub, I removed most of the paint with a heat gun and scraper. I then used soygel for the most stubborn paint. The whole outside was then primed with a grey metal primer and then painted a satin black (also metal paint). I did the tub out in the yard ...cau...

You could try pulling the tile up with a scraper and then covering a section of the glued floor with an old towel. Boil a pot of water and pour it onto the towel and let it sit awhile. Most old glue will melt away into a pile of slush. Taking up the tile this way will not be releasing asbestos.

A stainless steel liner will run you around $30.00 a foot. Oil or gas furnace will not make a difference. You wil see a big difference in your heating bill. As far as all your original windows....how lucky can you get...put up heavy drapes or even quilts to get you through the winter and restore tho...

This is the front door of our 1895 Victorian. All the windows on the house consist of only 2 colors - purple and the gold you see here.

We just rolled out bats of faced (faced side down towards heated space) on top of the finished floor in our attic. When I need to go up there I just roll it up and make a pathway. I did attach a piece to the wooden hatch with wire so that it stays in place when I close it.

There was no frame, just two winddows that happened to be the same width. The windows in this 1895 Victorian had no weights. We kept them open with some 1 inch pvc pipe that I decorated to look like marble. So there was no need for weight pockets. We just framed it out leaving 1/8th inch on the side...

Okay here we go ...we did this in the kitchen. It wasn't hard at all. We went from tiny kitchen window: http://thumb3.webshots.net/t/59/659/1/65/78/2348165780059788743Cprzoa_th.jpg to hole in the wall http://thumb3.webshots.net/t/55/155/8/86/26/2191886260059788743FKVPZB_th.jpg then we framed it in h...

I found cement dye in the cement aisle at my local home depot. It did not contain any cement just powdered coloring.
