Another Late Intro
Posted: Sat Apr 22, 2017 10:38 am
I'm a small contractor who loves old houses and believes in preserving history. The care and craftsmanship which went into old homes is unseen today and more's the loss. I do my best to keep history alive though most of my work is on newer homes. Recently I've dumped my previous main customer for another one who somewhat shares my/our interest here although he does tend toward more period-appropriate renovations than pure restorations but that's better than before.
One of my new projects is an older small hotel which suffered a long lack of care and the ravages of tradesfolk who have no understanding of old houses or how to deal with them. This will not be a true restoration but will at least keep another part of history alive instead of turning into bull-dozer fodder which is at least some success, and I'm enjoying my part in this. This is something of a 'side project' which will move slowly but it eventually will become a Bed-and-Breakfast so many people will get to enjoy "The Pecan Terrace" once again.
I will do more reading here than I will posting unless I have something significant to add, and I'm enjoying following y'all as you move along with your homes.
