I'm up to my arse in farmhouse. Bought this monster (18 rooms, 8 baths, 2 barns and one astronomical heating bill) several years back and have steadily worked it from peak to sill. Now I'm scratching an itch that's been with me since day one: returning the floor plan to its original 1830 footprint. Soon, ALL the best intentions set upon this place by way of 174 years of varied ownership will be gone. The rabbit warren of bedrooms, the Rube Goldberg plumbing, the power spikes... all of it, gone.
I dropped another ceiling last night and it reminded me of my first 140. Wires or every description, running in every direction. Old cars and old houses - they're amazing (and forgiving) things.
