Here is a record of our restoration of a 1928 craftsman. We will be the second family to live in the home. Watch our progress when we prevail and our privation and pratfalls as we do not.
To say the least the last decade has been busy and eventful at our house. A major factor in my slowing down on posting was that from 2010 through 2017 I served on our local city council. That certainly cut down on my free time to write. In July I also retired from my day job. The last six months have been my "gap year" with a good deal of time spent:
- Straightening the garage (AGAIN) see earlier post here
sadly the pictures are lost... - Replacing the original roof on half of the garage
- Adding 2 inches to the bottom of 7 salvaged storm windows in order to finally have every window with a storm and screen
- With storms in place I have begun to remove interior double hung windows and renovate them. These windows are now 91 years old and this is the first major attention they have ever received.

Stacy over at https://www.blakehillhouse.com/ is having the Year of the Window redoing all the windows in her 1800s home. You should join her for moral support. :)
