<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 1445093, member: 78&quot;]Hi Marie,</p><p>&nbsp; When I sold my house in central Jersey back in 1970s. I had stripped off a layer of vinyl siding, a layer of aluminium siding, a layer of insual siding. repainted the original wooden siding. House was built in 1810, Stripped all of the woodwork inside including a double staircase with 5 spindles on each step. House went on to the Historic Tour after all the restoration. I refinished the chestnut wood work with tung oil so it never needed redoing. The couple that bought the house fell in love with all the details.&nbsp; I went back three years later to visit with my old neighbors. I told them I was going next door to look in the windows to see my old place. My neighbor said do not go over there. I went anyway. I wanted to burn the house down to the ground. The owners had painted all of the woodwork white! They tore out the staircase spindles and replaced them with wrought iron and steel cables. They had covered the house with vinyl siding. It was just so much to take. I was so upset that all I wanted to do was cry.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
