Query: The author is passionate about old houses....but:)

I am so glad I read the book after I bought my turn of the century farmhouse. If I read the book before I started renovating the foundation, roof and everything in between I think I would have been scared away. It's a must read book and if you are as passionate about renovating an old house as the author and myself...lol...read the book and go ahead and buy the house!:)
