Comments: Thanks for the great sight. We recently purchased an 1895 victorian over the hill in Santa Cruz. It has been remodeled through the years but still has original redwood floors (Which is also the subfloor) under the carpets. The floor looks very deck-like in apperance but has a nice rustic quality. As this is old growth redwood we would like to use and preserve it. Do you or anyone have any ideas or experience dealing with old redwood flooring? Please e-mail me if possible. Thanks

Comments: This project was clearly not for the faint of heart! I think the term "labor of love" doesn't say enough! We were on the 2006 Northside tour and were quite impressed. Keep up the great work!!

Comments: Love your site! Love your house! I am always looking for others who love their victorian home and are redoing (or attempting to redo - as we have been doing for 29 years!). I have really enjoyed your site - especially the living room (parlor). Thanks! Linda

Comments: Dear Owners, Fun to look at your photos! I have an 1885 (or earlier) Queen Anne Cottage in the historic District in Ocean Park area of Santa Monica. I'm in the last phase of a 30 year long rehab. (Don't cry for me, Argentina...)
Have you ever found a good (safer) substitute for a wood shingle roof? I haven't. Mine only lasted about 23 years (five blocks from the beach and lots of termites) and I'm replacing it soon. I'm resigned to a fiberglass version. BTW, any suggestions on exterior colors? I found some books on original colors; most were darker versions of those you see in "Painted Ladies". Tastes have "brightened" since the 1880's.
I'll keep tabs on your progress... Good luck, Tony.
