Well, I got no suggestions, so here's what I did:

LeRoy, I added five more pictures for you to see. Is this the same type of gutter you have on your house? If you need specific information about my gutters, roof, pricing, etc. you can send me an email at victoriangemeiner1903@yahoo.com.

Hey Donald, nice old house! It's easy to see that a lot of love was put into your home. Sorry to hear the snowfall did you in as far as your ceiling goes. Chalk one up for mother nature, but it did alert you to a problem that might have gone overlo…

Think like water is a good way to go at it, Paul. I worked last summer doing repair work on the siding around it and found rusted and completly deteriorated flashing. I repaired all this and stripped and painted the verticle siding and thought I was…

Hi LeRoy, just want to first agree with Donald and say you have a beautiful home! Second, have you contacted your towns historical society and talked to them about your issues. They usually have been involved with other historical structure renovat…

See attached photos. The first one shows the front partial balcony over the front porch and little round room. The columns and rails have been removed for reconstruction. This balcony has the painted tin / steel floor and does not need replaced, tho…

Pictures would be a HUGE help, you know the saying about a thousand words. I'm now confused about a partial balcony. If you can include some pictures and I'll do the best I can to help. Thanks, Paul B.
