Do you know the
architectural history of your house? Is the paint really right for its
era? Do those doorknobs go? What about the light fixtures? Do you
know how to work with your city's architectural review board? Are the
cracks in the wall just in need of a little plaster and paint, or is there a
real problem lurking below? Before you pick up a hammer or a nail, you
have important decisions to make. This lecture walks through the planning
of a house restoration and teaches you how to save yourself time, money, and
heartache. Learn creative ways to enhance your house that don't cost a
fortune. Learn how to find and keep "good help." Learn the
basics of managing your outside property. Most importantly, learn the true
cost of buying and restoring an old house. This lecture includes stories
and multiple before and after pictures of properties restored to their former
grandeur.
