About the Wood Restoration for Old Homes workshop:
Don't replace it, repair it! Learn how you can save old wooden features on your home, and save money doing it, using the wood restoration techniques of historic preservationists. Do you have heavily water damaged or rotten wood features in your home? There are many approaches you can take that will cost a fraction of what it would to remove and replace those same features. In addition, by repairing, you are keeping the historic integrity of the home, and preventing material from ending up in a landfill. It can be fun and rewarding, you'll see!
