it was a "liveable" (i.e. had water, heat and rudimentary electric sustem) small 3 story brick townhouse on a then-deserted block in Philadelphia. Over the years I redid all the electric, got custom-milled historically accurate moldings, insulated and plastered (real 3 coat plaster), did some plumbing, redid the roof, did the floors, added a deck, a actually built a raised panel mortis and tenon front door our of clear 2" white pine.
those days are long gone, but god bless you!

Good luck Gorbie. Looks like it has great investment potential. My wife and I are rehabbing a house built in the same period.
This place has great stuff:

gorbie, your house is already beautiful...when you renovate it, wow!
A few months ago I bought a stucco house that had just been totally renovated and I'm glad for that but wish I could have put my own touch on it. Enjoy!

- Mimio.. Great link, thanks! Do you have any pics of your place and what you've done? I plan on keeping track of the process, and many important issues will be done fast (windows, roof, yard)
- Kona.. yeah. i plan on that first thing. They are utter crap.
- Rand.. Sounds like a lot of what I have going on. I'll probably do drywall on the interior walls and plaster the ceiling and run crown molding around the top, so i can separate the walls. My dad owns a great shop that does custom molding, and can even bend real wood to use around doorways and such - so i wouldn't have to use some composite material.

- Monkeyshine.. Thanks. I saw you're place - it looked great.
Hows the garage conversion going?

true though Gorbie, having your own house builds equity and you are on your own it's great. I once owned a house in Namibia (SW Africa) and loved it. Renting here to avoid being tied down. Good move!
- Gorbie0

i'll keep progress posted here if you're at all interested.
i'm pretty stoked on it incase you didn't notice..
