cathy_1942: I like that stone! Is part of this an old house?

openjoe: See the white sided area over the front porch? That was added on where the porch roof was. The roofing shingles on the side of the older upstairs dormer is normal for our part of the country.

openjoe: I think all the stone parts are old.

dougcrew: "We have a beautiful old stone house. I know let's make a nice vinyl facade right on the front. Genius I tell ya!"

yana: is this your house?

openjoe: Yana, this is not mine. Let me explain "remuddling". It is remodeling + muddle. Remodeling is fixing up. Muddle is a big mistake.

openjoe: Doug, let's see a pic of your house.

dougcrew: don't own one. I am a bit of a purist though. If I owned an old house I would try to preserve the original design even in an addition. I used to do some remodeling in mostly average to below average neighborhoods. The guy I worked for still tried to keep it from looking to crazy.

openjoe: Oh, I misunderstood the previous post. Thought you were being ironic about your own house.

at 03:02PM 08/18/08

dougcrew: No just sarcastic......in a Christian way of course. :o

at 03:49PM 08/18/08

openjoe: Doug, I get it.
I used to take the "Old House Journal" and they featured a "remuddling of the month" on the back page every issue.

shelly: that's a remuddling shame...otta be a law...

at 05:03PM 08/18/08

openjoe: In some older parts of town there is some kind of preservation zoning.

at 05:13PM 08/18/08

yana: ok i got you, i thought remuddling has some roots from mud... we have rumuddlings here... lots of those...

at 12:03AM 08/19/08

openjoe: Yana, you are a bright spot on beenup2.

at 04:22AM 08/19/08

yana: oh thank you...
