Our old house can be such a chore. But it's also hard not to love.

Gaaaa. This electrical problem is going to eat at me until I can get it fixed. Already woke up at 4 am with a paralysis dream, then immediately thinking about the best way to run new wiring.

It is situations like this where anxiety + just enough engineering knowledge team up and make me absolutely miserable.

I will be waking up at 3 am terrified the house is going to burn down. Because I damn well know it could, and make my safe precautions are never going to be enough for the sleep demon. Imposter syndrome = burning to death in my sleep!

Then I start walking through scenarios where my house is systematically torn to pieces so the bowels can be replaced. None of which will hold up because I am half asleep.

Because the knob and tube is acting up/shorting out without flipping the breaker.

Restoring the plaster walls in this bathroom is taking foreeeeeeever. But bit by bit am making progress.

1. Scrape 2 layers of wallpaper off and the skim coat on top with a giant razer blade. Excellent for taking out aggression.

2. Secure plaster to lath at cracks by drilling holes along the cracks and squirting in glue, then screw down with temporary washers.

3. Remove washers and scrape off wallpaper glue left on wall because it traps mold that won't wash off

4. Fiberglass tape the cracks and and spackle twice, smoothing each time. Sand.

5. Some far off day, paint.

And of course as soon as I finished the tub I decided we need a new surround, but that is for professionals. Will probably get the tub painted. I think the orginal 1930's colors was pink and yellow, or pink and the weird yellowy beige that is the cast iron tub.

And yes, tested for lead. Negative. I wear an N95 while doing this and other PPE.

Itโ€™s 11:12PM but doesnโ€™t mean I canโ€™t submit the final work-complete inspection request to the BC online cuz we got the last of the electrical finished up yesterday in the ! ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ™Œ
Have a working fan and lights! GFI plug and a electric receptacle ready for the lighted mirror! Woooot! Getting so close now! Bit by bit! Next is vanity/sink, baseboard trim, and window sill/trim.

We were in SW Michigan over the past weekend. Driving through the countryside between small towns we came upon this grand old home. I wish we had the time to stop and there was someone on the property. I would have loved to havenseen the rest of this house. This picture was taken out the car window while cruising by ๐Ÿ˜

Not sure if this will count as but it popped into my memories earlier. The house is (or maybe was) local but the woman in the doorway is inspired by a photo my grandfather took where you can see my grandmother in the shadows of an open door.

This old homestead sits along a back road in Beaufort County, North Carolina. Mother Nature is quickly reclaiming this property. One can't help by ponder on what led to this home reaching this state. What happened to those that once called it home?

3)

(continued)

4) tear up the subfloor in some places where it sags a lot and examine joists and build them up with sistering to get level

5) Finish it with Waterlox original. I know that will yellow/amber and lose some of the nice color of the beech, but the repairability of the waterlox has huge appeal.

Anything I'm missing or better watch out for here?

Looking for a computer visualization tool for a project I will do in a couple of months : hardwood install in a 150+ year old building with a settled stone foundation. Want to get the at least flat if not level. Have a 360 degree laser level and target and quite large straight edge. One room with kitchen island. 3 door openings would define unchangeable points of the plane. Graph paper good enough? Still planning.
