Cooking smells, pet smells, people smells, garbage, leaky roofs, all building up over 114 years… and yeah.Luckily a good primer before painting, and good basic renovations do help a lot.. Sloping Floors and General Non-Levelness.
I don’t think “level” was really a thing back when this house was built.They built the outside walls out of brick first and then filled in the inside walls after.Of course, over time everything settles and there are definitely noticeable slopes in the floors in some of the rooms, but you just have to go with it.
Chris loves his level so this can be a challenge for him, but he’s learned some.ways to work around all the weird angles.
that we find in this place.. As much as restoring an old house can be a big, frustrating mess that you don’t see coming, there are probably just as many benefits that will surprise you if you take on the challenge.. For one, building a house back in the day, without all of the technology and conveniences that we have now meant they REALLY had to plan out what they were doing.
If you find a house that’s still in pretty good shape 100 years later, chances are that the builders of your home did a pretty great job.Of course it also works better on certain weeds compared to others.
You really do need a few different tricks up your sleeve to kill all your different weeds, but luckily I’ve got some of those in store for you soon.Salting only takes 20 seconds though, so it’s worth a shot if you’ve got a walkway that looks like mine.. Where we live, the climate is quite humid, so the salt really clumped up and stuck exactly where I put it, but if it’s dryer where you are, you may want to sprinkle the ground with some water first so the salt doesn’t blow away.. Something else you should know: This salt trick is a little controversial in the organic gardening world according to my reading.
If you over-salt your yard, then you risk the salt leaching into the ecosystem and harming all kinds of plants, animals, and water systems.My thinking is this: Harmful chemical weed killers do that anyway, but they’re also harmful to you.
