Before It Was Torn Down, My Wife Preserved A Section Of Her Late Grandmother's 100+ Year-Old House, And Framed All The Layers Of Wallpaper

I took pictures to document the previous interior paint in my 95 year old log cabin before covering them, intense shades of pink and green that do violence to the eye. I can't imagine all of the walls in either color.

We bought a house built in 1951. When sanding smooth a bump in the hard plaster wall, I saw six layers of paint. The paint was extremely hard to sand smooth. The paint store guy told me that old enamel was the toughest paint.

I Took A Knife To The Lino In The Bathroom And Found The Original Edwardian Tiles. My Great Great Grandmother Was A Housemaid Here In Cupar In The 1880s
Kabuki Kitsune 1 month ago
The reason things like this would get covered, for those curious, is a couple reasons. The main one being tile is relatively hard to maintain, as any spills could get in between the tiles and both stain the grout, or cause mildew. They are also colder to the touch than more modern floor coverings. So, when an option came up that looked decent, and was easier to maintain, and didn't have the same coldness issues... it was common to cover over the tile. Same thing happens with hardwood flooring to, where carpet is laid over it.

The lifespan of seeds varies greatly depending on the type and storage conditions. I've read that they have an average shelf life of at least 3 years. But I remember my mom planted 10 yr old tomato seeds and they grew to be delicious. Just depends on different factors.

Doing Some Painting And Carpet Removal In Our 1920s Dutch Colonial When We Realized These Stained Glass Windows Were Underneath The Wood Paneling

Wood paneling is bad enough, but to cover up stained glass windows?! There's a special place in hell for people like that, and it's covered in stucco and popcorn ceilings.

The Previous Owner Of My New Home Left A Few Things In The Attic. This Card Slipped Out When I Moved The Bag
It's a plastic Christmas tree.
UnclePanda 1 month ago (edited)
My old house came with a sealed manhole cover in the middle of the basement floor, which the previous people said they'd never opened. It took a couple of years until curiosity got the better of me so on a stormy Halloween Eve, I breached the seal at midnight because I'm stupid that way. It's a spring fed freshwater cistern directly under the middle of the kitchen, where I found evidence of the hole through the floor for a pump. Tree roots eventually penetrated it and ruined its potability. I put a sump pump in it and use the water to keep the duck pool topped off.
UnclePanda 1 month ago
On another note, it's about 6,000 gallons of 52 degree water and I pipe it to a heat exchanger I installed on the second floor in the summertime. Free cooling for the cost of running a small pump and a small fan.

While many items found in old houses carry sentimental value, only a select few are historically valuable and end up in museums or galleries. In these cases, experts are tasked with tracing and uncovering the important details about the item that make it special.
