I restored an 1886 Victorian home with the help of my wife. Did you do all the work yourself , did you subcontract, or do you have a crew? Nice work though and quality materials from what I could see. Quality content post IMO.

That sounds like an amazing project! I'm sure it was really rewarding! How did it turn out for you? I use a crew for these projects. Thanks!
Thank you for the reply and upvote!
The home was actually a parsonage so when things didn't go right I really had to watch my language : ) In 1948 it was moved off the church campus about a half kilometer closer to a little rural town. They took images of the move which we put into a presentation for the local historical society. We finished the project in September of 2008 a month before the financial meltdown in October. We watched our down payment and cash outlay for the project wash away. We stayed there another 4 years, but the value never came back during that time. We sold for a loss and bought the house we live in today. We continue to remodel and last summer added an addition for my wife's parents. That was done by a contractor, but I built a 400 sq. ft. deck to go with the addition. Thanks again!
