A blog about home life and the challenges of updating an 1855 house in Upstate New York.
"Use it up, wear it out. Make it do, or do without." That's an old Yankee proverb which epitomizes old Yankee thrift and resourcefulness. It's my own motto for my blog! We bought an 1855 house in Upstate NY, and rather than take the bulldozer to it, we decided to *try* to restore it to its once-graceful state. This is our story. It's a family affair of love and hate, bliss and frustration, as we tackle all the projects ourselves. Here's hoping you can find an entertaining and educational lesson or two from our exploits! P.S. We have a 1.5 acre of overgrown lawn and woods to tame, also!
