I’ve seen way more than my fair share of old homesteads all across America. And there have been many times when I performed an old house restoration in my mind as I looked at abandoned structures. That probably comes from my days as a carpenter and handyman. But these days the only old house restoration I do is in my mind. One reason is … Read the rest…
