1915 Redux

re·dux (rē-dŭks') adj. - brought back; resurgent. We are restoring our 1915 Craftsman-style Tudor Revival home. This blog will share our progress, and we hope it will be an inspiration and resource to others who love their old home, too. We have TONS of work to do, and our goal is to be done by 2015 -- our home's 100th birthday.
