- Tell us about yourself:
- I am a 54 year old mom of 2 daughters and a grandma twice over. I live in a old house that has been in a constant state of reno for the last 21 years that I share with my 2 Scottish Terriers. I'm a huge Beatles fan and Stephen King is my favorite author.
- Tell us about your old-house experiences and dreams:
- I bought my 1899 farm house style home 21 years ago and have spent all that time undoing the wrongs of the previous owners, popcorn ceiling, rust colored shag carpet for example. My youngest daughter was the 5 th generation of the same family to live here so I know all the history and people that my home has known! My main goal is a backward rehab which is going little bit at a time with a more major rehab done the summer of 2010.
