It's not an issue in the house (though thanks so much for providing your perspective!). The fact is that reclaiming wood is empowering and beautiful. So I'm all game.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-61374370905917983132012-07-06T16:23:16.760-04:002012-07-06T16:23:16.760-04:00I'm sure you are!

We're just trying to work out how to live in it and do this at the same time without going crazy. I agree with the above, "The Old House" is very inspirational for old home renovations. I wish I could have those guys come out and help us!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404449004824638306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-87247790061346564582012-06-30T19:16:28.729-04:002012-06-30T19:16:28.729-04:00K, you'll likely appreciate the PBS show, &quo...K, you'll likely appreciate the PBS show, "This Old House" which documents the renovation, expansion and restoration of 100+ year old houses. A perennial favourite of mine, it regulaly deals with the "keep it vs. replace it" debate facing at us at the moment. Highly recommended.ahonoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13026991295805955133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-23211508664580124212012-06-29T14:38:55.742-04:002012-06-29T14:38:55.742-04:00Is it wrong that I'm totally envious that your...Is it wrong that I'm totally envious that your reno is under way. I'm itching to rip out our loft conversion and make it beautiful. It's going to have to wait a while yet, so I shall enjoy watching yours come together.

We considered what Scott wants to do but didn't want to lose any height; also I'd heard this can lead to structural problems due to water/dampness getting trapped. At any rate, we finished the old wood and you wouldn't believe how good it looks. It's now golden brown and the patina at the edges gives it bit of a a rustic look.Utahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011335110798185030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-19444897347525365122012-06-29T12:06:50.486-04:002012-06-29T12:06:50.486-04:00Looks like the fun has begun!
