Off to Amsterdam and Norway until the 26th for some much needed vacation. See you all later....
Just decided to do a little update. I am making progress on the house renovations. I have been dealing with asbestos and a bunch of lead paint. All of the wall paper has been removed. Since the house is over 200 years old there was bound to be a lot of wall paper. Now all the plaster is being fixed. The massive kitchen renovation is...

That is not likely to have been the main chimmney in 1795,
[ my house is of that vintage, the 6 origional rooms all have
a fireplace] there would have been a big kitchen fireplace with
cranes to move pots closer to or further from the fire,
a brick oven is also fairly standard. If they didn't brick over the
fireplaces in the mid/late 1800's, then they would have replaced
those massive chimmneys with smaller ones for the 'fashionable'
stove and to free-up some extra space. Renovaton, a way of Life.
Nice to hear that you are haveing so much fun with the Hack.

Great photos in the old tub. I love your aesthetic.
Well, I am new to this blogging thing. I don't see why anyone would really give a shit, but hey whatever floats your boat. I still hate New Hampshire. I have been missing Baltimore and Sag Harbor. There is nothing in this state. We are planning to move to Boston area this summer. I am waiting to see if my transfer application has been accepted...

Well my house is in the middle of nowhere. I lived in NYC before this so it is a huge change. Don't really know anyone here. And this weather is ridiculous. There are some things I like about it. Like im on 120 acres and no one around which is nice. What do you do in NH for fun?
