Hi Ron,
Yes, next week I'll start digging in on this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capt._Joel_Whitney_House
It's for a historical society...will probably take most of the rest of this season and part of next! Hard to do them alone - there is no help in the area, nobody wants a job.
But projects like this are nice...no occupants, so no 'been here too long' sentiments. I'm doing all the windows, too. I have finished the 1st floor ones already! You have to take them out with a hammer and painter's tool, lol...30 thick lead paint layers.
Broke my arm falling on ice in March, so I"m surprised I"ve come back enough to take on a 'scraper'. Still young enough at 50 that I heal fast, I guess, lol.
