10: Silence Squeaky Floor Boards.
Our house is also incredibly energy efficient in a lot of ways.It’s still cool here in the Spring long after everyone else has had to turn on their A/C and we turn our heat on in the Fall pretty late too.

Strategically planted trees, and double-brick wall construction seem to have made a big difference for us.. We also have an amazingly unique floor plan, one that you’d never see in a new build, but one that really works for our family.Our kitchen and laundry room are in an addition that can be totally shut off from the rest of house so I can get stuff done late at night or early in the morning without disturbing anyone and there’s a washroom in there that seems really strange until you realize how convenient it is to be able to do laundry, bath the kids, and cook dinner all pretty much in the same room..Most of all, I love the sense of pride and wonder that we get from owning our own little piece of local history and being in charge of its care and restoration.

And it doesn’t hurt that we seem to get a ton of compliments on our cute house no matter what state of semi-disrepair it’s in!.Have you ever dreamed of bringing an old house back to life?.

We’ve had a bit of a problem since moving into this house almost two years ago.
Our garage is a disaster zone unlike you’ve ever seen.The tools and hardware and junk are all piled together in giant heaps on top of the various work benches.
