Description

"If you love old houses, you know that this emotional attachment demands a wealth of practical knowledge. That's just what George Nash provides in this old house owner's manual. Drawing on years of renovation experience, Nash shows you what it takes to make an old house convenient and livable by present-day standards, while still retaining or restoring important historical details. Book jacket."--Jacket.

First Sentence

I remember quite well that leaden April morning, the front end of our ancient van clanking in protest as we climbed the steep washboard road through the forest, where stale snow still clung to the dark places, climbed to where the woods shrank back from the dull, matted fields to reveal the ridges rolling away to the mountains at the end of the valley, like some moldering purple blanket that had lain out by the garden all winter.
