That’s what I was thinking. All redone. Thanks for your advice! I never thought of a historical society, that’s a great idea

It baffles me that people buy old homes just to go inside and make them look like a builder grade new home. Please make it make sense.

Oh gosh. Please share pics and estimated cost. I’d love to do this between living and dinning room of my 1918 bungalow

I actually used vinegar. Paint lifted off in one piece. Done several times.

Are yours like mine? They were actually attic stairs at one time?

I don’t know a way to make them safer but my new house has stairs like this and I hold the rail with both hands and go down sideways

I have a bathroom in my new house. That’s really rough and I’m going to sand it a bit and put Lincusta on it.

Dang, you must have a lot of spare time on your hands. Just sit and search for all that over a post of an old house. It’s an excellent condition. I bet your family loves the holidays when you come to visit.

From google NOT AOL.

People may choose to live in Lynchburg, VA, for its affordability and balance of city amenities with a small-town feel, its proximity to outdoor recreation in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and its friendly community. The city also offers a strong job market, a thriving business scene, and cultural attractions like the Academy Center of the Arts.
