Re: New here but not to old houses

Thanks! Yeah, I have been a big supporter of old windows. If I had the time and ability to reglaze and repair the existing windows I'd consider trying to keep them but I have neither. There are some pics of my "little" gem on my paint scheme dilemma post in the non-tech forum.

Re: Craftsman paint scheme dilemma

Also, this not a historic district by any means. It's a smaller country town. You know, where old is just OLD to a lot of people. I am pretty sure the trim will not be an issue to anyone and since there aren't a lot of other "old" house touches (ie, no built ins) if I can make it look good...
