Hi Ken and others:

Our historic houses look quite new compared with what you work with Ken, my hat off to you and the challenges that must come your way from time to tme wow!

Here we wrestle with trying to understand 150 to 200 year old structures where as you are working with 500 and 600 year old specimens--alot more information and knowledge are needed when you attempt to repair or alter them without a doubt.

Just as a passing thought how do the owners obtain fire insurance? or do they just do without.

And for a final thought do they (the owners) have to follow strict guidelines as they deal with remodeling\repairing or restoring or can they just do their own thing. What I am trying to say I guess how involved is the Gov't?

Nice pictures what medium are you using to post with?
