The Historic District

Such beautiful work! As always, I am in awe of your lovely house and what you've done to it.

Everything Gothichome says is gold, he's the expert around here. The main thing to check is the foundation, and after that, the roof. Pretty much everything else can be fixed as you go, barring any huge holes or breaks in load-bearing walls. Plumbing and electrical should be in good enough shape for...

I know this thread is for what "I" personally did at my house, but the stress from current world events is really messing with my fibromyalgia so I really don't have enough energy to do anything lately. That having been said, the week before last the 2-man crew came and installed my new f...

I am so glad I found this place! Thank you all so much for putting it together and keeping it going!

My house is the baby around here, and I have wavy gla...

Wackyshack, I posted my thoughts on the Facebook site. Gina, I usually don’t like to comment on other people’s politics but lifting covid controls at this point is asking for disaster. Oh, I agree with you! A few of the New England states, including Vermont, have joined together to make sure that t...

Today VT's governor started lifting the lockdown a bit and is now allowing a team of two workers for jobs on properties. I don't know where the Wackyshack is, but maybe you won't be waiting as long as you think. Businesses are probably chomping at the bit to get back to work again. I've been so stre...

I'm probably late to the party, but I am planning on taking the class from this guy: m I was hoping to go this year, but it all depends on whether the plague is gone in time. I spoke to him on the phone and he says there is a nice B&B in town there. Also, a lot of his customers bring him their s...
