Hi, I stumbled upon your blog yesterday. I love your house!
I am bidding on a house tomorrow, it's 101 years old!
I'm trying to read as many DIY home remodel sites I can find, as I can see already I will need to strip & refinish the hardwood floor, pull up carpet, etc.
Your house has come a long way!
