Re: About floors - replace original with subfloor + hardwood
I can understand and appreciate not laying over original, but that is what I have, and it doesn't look bad, what are your concerns, that the floor would be higher? I have Australian Cypress over God knows what, I see at least two subfloors in some places. (I just posted interior pics on the intro pa...

Re: From 1941 to 1915 in one day
Bathroom: The gut, the bad, and the not so ugly. As I said before, the house was sagging on one side, and we had foundation experts level it up. They told me that when the bath was put in, the walls underneath were not supported properly. So when you went into the bathroom, you were kind of running ...

Thats a lot of tile!

From 1941 to 1915 - Hiding the new AC
Greetings all. Glad to have found this place. I love old homes, and restoring with quality, to the best of my abilities, to keep intact the originality. So this is what happened. We sold our home in Ft Laud, were renting, and wanted to relocate. We discovered this little town near Tampa full of old ...

Re: Buying my first old house, but what am I buying?
The porch columns and bracket under the eave do give it that Craftsman look. Kind of a hybrid in style.
