With all the rain work has moved inside, primarily the attic. All the dirt and dust was vacuumed out and trash removed. We have tested the entire house for lead and unfortunately almost everything wood is covered in lead paint, so precautions must be taken to make sure it is all disposed of safely and…

We werenโ€™t planning on replacing all the gutters in the beginning but after starting work on the roof we decided we should just go ahead and do it ALL! Iโ€™m glad we did because these gutters make me so happy ๐Ÿ˜Š @kmsheetmetal was able to custom make these collector boxes to match the original ones, same dimensions and everything! It was definitely worth the extra time it took to install these stunning gutters that will perform perfectly for the many years ahead! #copper #coppergutters #restoration #oldhouse #oldhouselove #savealltheoldhouses #customroof #thehouseonminturn #hamletnc
A completed area! She almost looks like a new house ๐Ÿ˜
Love reading all the comments on this post from when the house was still for sale! So many people appreciate the details of old homes and want the opportunity to save one themselves. So glad we have this opportunity to save Minturn @oldhousedreams #restoration #oldhome #savealltheoldhouses #thehouseonminturn #hamletnc https://www.oldhousedreams.com/2015/01/13/1925-classical-revival-hamlet-nc/
When we first purchased Minturn Sammy and I decided we wanted to preserve as much of the original house as possible. Restoring Minturnโ€™s 70+ windows was quite the task. Each window on the first floor was stripped, sanded, repaired with wood epoxy, reglazed and then painted. The second floor windows were completely taken out so the sash and levers could be replaced to guarantee a smooth working window. Then those too were stripped, sanded, reglazed and finally painted. #windowrestoration #oldhomes #restoration #savetheoldhouses #hamletnc #thehouseonminturn #restorers
