The chronicle of our home renovation and restoration from the ground up. All jobs will be attempted by me and my wife. Our home is a 1930 craftsman in a small town east of Austin, Texas. The wife, our beautiful 20 mo. daughter, and our soon to be new born and I will laugh, cry, scream, and fight our way through this endless renovation together. You will be kept abreast of all of the comedy, tragedy, errors, triumphs, and busted knucles. Cheeers
we are into restoring this old house by recycling building materials, reducing waste during demolition, saving the character, keep the house to period, and give the home a look of evolving through the decades.
all while on a budget!
I was looking at your blog and think your house is really cute. We have a 1924 Craftsman Bungalow and I was wondering what your fireplace looked like. Ours looks really shallow and seams to tilt in on the firebox. From what we can tell it was built to tlit in, mabye to throw the hot air back in. I was just wondering if all were built like that--or if mine is just built strange. Thanks
our fireplace is small but it does not tilt. there is a good arc at the back to throw heat back into the room. check under the house to see if the base of the fp is crumbling. ours had a little damage under there.
