We are living in our dream house. It is satisfying to see it return to its former self. The hardest part was having the patience needed for a project this size. And, of course, things are never straightforward when working on an almost 200-year-old house; there are always hidden problems. We are fortunate enough to have the HABS drawings for the house and were able to replicate all of the details.
Who did the work: I did some of the work myself, but a contractor did most of it. Cost: More than $100,000
