Re: Details of an 18th-Century Timber-Frame Revival

Awesome, awesome project. Makes me feel better about my turn of the century home (lifetime) project. I cannot believe that you still had original windows to reuse.

Re: Restoring an Antique Timber-Frame Home

I just watched the video again. Are the second floor and addition 8 over 12 "cottage" style windows a local type? Did you have input from the Local Historical Society as to the appropriate windows? Here in Somerset Cty, NJ. we might have seen 12 over 8 sashes.
Just wondering.

Re: Restoring an Antique Timber-Frame Home

He there:
Very glad to find this blog as I am an N.J. Architect (former New Englander) with an avid interst in saving or adapting old structues for reuse. I'm very involved with Historic Districts, and have had more recent luck with relocating post and beam 19th Century barns. It's been so hard to watch local 19th century local historic homes being torn down in Somerset County. This blog gives me some hope. I guess we just have to figure out how to market the concept. Any suggestions?
