Our c. 1860 House

There is a lot of information here about our house.  It is split into four main areas:
     •  A description of the house we bought, its' location, and our land.
     •  What we plan to do with the house, and our approach to the renovation process.
     •  The renovations that we have completed, those that are in process, and what is planned for the future. 
     •  Everything that is outside of the house. 

We are doing most of the work on the house ourselves, except for major structural work, like the new roof, and plumbing and re-wiring.  We have also had any skim plastering done professionally, as well as the ceilings that had to be sheetrocked. 

The links below take you to a specific topic directly, but note that the links in italic are in development, and are not available.  I have included them so that you can see what is coming up.   Use the "
Start" option at the top of this page, and the "Next" option near the top of the other pages to go sequentially through every page in this section.
