Well it is chat, right?!?!?!?!?!
Having worked on many newer homes and also many custom homes that were well over $1,000,000 in value, I'll take my 1925 built home any day!

The things that make it home, warm and fuzzy just can't be bought now a days. I have been in many homes that were totally custom built to replicate what was done back in the day but they still lacked the tiny details. A true craftsman is so very hard to find in today slap them up and move on homes along with the mega million dollar homes. I did find in the more affluent homes we worked on, all they were was lip stick on pigs and built no better than the cheapo track homes down the street.
What rips my heart out is that when they converted my home to forced air heat they did a major hack job for the registers. I am pretty sure I have come up with a solution to remedy the issue with modern hardwood floor to trim out the register areas they hacked. Maybe even steal some flooring from closets and replace those areas I steal from with modern hardwoods, not garbage pergo. It will be a challenge because the hardwood floors I have are no longer made in this size but I enjoy a challenge. Also a great reason to buy more tools!
Marlon, many of the older true all brick homes were made from larger hand made bricks and also many were on stone foundations, at least the ones I have run across. Once you see one they are really easy to spot, they were built like tanks. I also have never seen a full brick home in a subdivision, the ones I have seen were out in the country. Yours is stick built with a brick facia which there is nothing wrong with that at all.
Would ya also believe I am having a hard time finding a blade for my Fathers old coping saw?
