Streamlined design set to tackle rising construction demand

Every time we think we’ve found our next big project, it’s either not really a convenient time (like tearing down a bathroom with a tiny baby in the house), or we think “Well if we’re going to do that project, then we might as well do this one, and that one, and that one over there too.” And then there are those that just sit there for no good reason.

Luckily a good primer before painting, and good basic renovations do help a lot.. Sloping Floors and General Non-Levelness.I don’t think “level” was really a thing back when this house was built.

They built the outside walls out of brick first and then filled in the inside walls after.Of course, over time everything settles and there are definitely noticeable slopes in the floors in some of the rooms, but you just have to go with it.Chris loves his level so this can be a challenge for him, but he’s learned some.

ways to work around all the weird angles.that we find in this place.. As much as restoring an old house can be a big, frustrating mess that you don’t see coming, there are probably just as many benefits that will surprise you if you take on the challenge.. For one, building a house back in the day, without all of the technology and conveniences that we have now meant they REALLY had to plan out what they were doing.

If you find a house that’s still in pretty good shape 100 years later, chances are that the builders of your home did a pretty great job.

Our home sits right next to a creek, too close by today’s building standards, and yet we never get a flooded basement, even when half of the town is underwater.It’s perfect for those driveway cracks and pathways like mine..

So what do you do about those weeds that don’t react to salt or that are in the middle of a garden?I’ve found some great solutions to those too!.
