<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 159196, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; I had a very similar situation. I bought my house which was built in 1820. I tore off vinyl siding, a layer of abestoes siding, a layer of fake brick asphalet siding. Exposed the original wood siding. Filled in all the nail holes and restored the outside. Then I started the inside. Tore off all the fake paneling and sheetrock. Stripped all the chestnut baseboards and a double staircase with four spindles on each step. The whole process took 3 years. Finally it was done. It went on the historical house tour. 6 years later I sold the house to a couple who LOVED it. A year later I went to visit the neighbors. As we were talking I said I wanted to go over and pick into the house. My neighbors said do not go over there. I went and wanted to burn the house down. All the woodwork was painted white, the stair railings were ripped out and replaced with wrought iron. All my plaster walls were replaced with sheetrock. The ceilings lowered to 8 ft, They were 10. I was sooooooooo heart stricken. The final insult was a year later they vinyl sided the house.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
