The house we bought is a 1910 stone cottage. It had been painted cream. We had it sandblasted to get rid of the paint and have had a stone mason repair and repoint the walls.
This is after the sandblasting.
This is the house now. Still have a lot to do. The wood work needs repainting and the bricks now need to be scoured of the remaining paint and painted with a special lime wash. We want to return the house to it's original beauty and the stone masonary we had done is just as much about restoration and preservation of the walls as appearance. The house is currently 96 years old and I think she needs to be preserved. A long way in the future we would like to remove the back bessablock extension and build a family room and new bathroom and laundry.
