Resided the whole houseInstalled a new incert propane fire place, Removed the old laminate shower unit and tiled the bathroom, new vanityHardwood floorsLed lighting all overPainted whole houseEct....

The photos and description highlight all the character of a home of that age, beautiful hardwood floors, huge crown molding, several original fireplaces, ballroom converted into a huge well lit studio apartment. 

And that leave a lot of leeway.You can take an old historic district and have a 2000sqf 3/2 Victorian with fireplaces, 11' ceilings, crownmolding throughout and 15'x15' bedrooms.

Burning wood in a wood fireplace or wood stove... great amounts of burning means the chimney needs to be cleaned more often, sometimes tenants will burn paper and plastics releasing burning embers that fly out and/or toxic gases.4.

The house is completely stripped of all appliances and lighting fixtures but has some nice detail work like flooring and stone fireplaces etc.

. - Some charming original details (porch, molding, doors, wood floors, fireplace)- I'm an architect by trade and both my father and father-in-law have construction experience and are willing to help with the remodel.What options do I have to finance this and do a significant amount of work myself?

You can extrapolate this out with cabinets, flooring, fireplace upgrades, a deck in the back, etc.

Or try to remove the fireplace/chimney and leave the brick?

Hi all - I am wondering what are the options for Fireplace chimney?

: )  I see something about "House Rules" on the fireplace, might I ask what that says?
