At this point in life I feel like we have been fixing up this old house we live in for almost 30 years, I would have to find a farmhouse that had already been redone. Someone needs to start building new ones!Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-13249208669539513392009-07-25T12:17:09.264-04:002009-07-25T12:17:09.264-04:00From someone who has owned six antique houses, thi...From someone who has owned six antique houses, think long and hard about this, Penny. If it has been redone and done well, then it's worth it. Redoing one (unless you have an excellent contractor of set of subs or can do it yourself) is not always a picnic.
