Renovating Old Houses: How to Retain Old House Character - Part 3

Part 3 - Renovating Old Houses.  In this episode we talk about exterior window trim, sills, drip caps, millwork, and replacement materials/templates - before and after.

How do you repair or restore a historic without losing the character and Old House charm?  Renovating an Old House anywhere around the globe can be expensive, right?  You have a budget, but many modern elements can quickly erase the past. You may not be into Historic Preservation, but if you retain all the small "defining features", they really add up to maximize your Old House curb appeal and charm that you just cant get in new construction or on HGTV. 

In a world where all houses seem to look the same these days, stand out from the crowd! And many features aren't purely cosmetic...they actually perform important functions.
