The front is OK. Hah! there isn't even a window in the dormer! Edited by trade4us2 at 11:37 am, Thu 31 Dec trade4us2 - 2020-12-31 11:33:00 |
| 53 | It's ornate, but I do like it. Would be interesting to see what it looked like when it was first built. apollo11 - 2020-12-31 11:49:00 |
| 54 | Do you like this extension on my old house? Again, the house was too small for 6 people. I have lived in the area for over 70 years. trade4us2 - 2020-12-31 12:02:00 |

I don't like the surround around the new deck upstairs......seems to dominate. Perhaps pickets or something more open may have been less intrusive? In our suburbs of older houses there seem to be three types of extensions All seem to work well though my preference is more in the zany and character following line. shanreagh - 2020-12-31 13:19:00 |

I agree with you. This is how I built the two decks I am not sure of a nicer way to hold the deck up. The new owner removed all the balustrades and all the wooden panelling inside and painted everything white. However maybe I am wrong. I bought it for under $30,000 and it is now worth $3 million.

I like the way you built the decks with an open look in keeping with the house. It is sad how some paint over things.....we saw the same thing when buying our one and only house. Even in those days (40 years ago) there were people painting over fireplace surrounds, kauri doors and several of our friends had spent what seemed to be ages removing the paint, picking out paint from ornate carved surrounds and then redoing. We were lucky enough to get a home that had been lived in for 64 years by a painter paperhanger & then his widow. No painted over things and the scrim etc had all replaced by plaster and lathe (some still there). shanreagh - 2021-01-02 11:30:00 |
| 58 | I was raised in a house built in 1889 it wasn't fancy and until mum replaced all the scrim on the walls it had moving walls but the best feature was the verandah on the front closed at one end and built up halfway along the front. As a child who had severe rheumatoid arthritis l spent lots of time curled up on the day bed with my limbs in plaster even mid winter it was cosy if l ever build a house l would try to emulate. huntlygirl - 2021-01-03 18:34:00 |

When I bought the house, the original windows on the bottom story had been replaced with aluminium windows: So when another story was added, it seemed logical to have aluminium windows up there as well. trade4us2 - 2021-01-03 20:20:00 |
