Maintaining and Repairing Old Houses
A Guide to Conservation, Sustainability and Economy
Bevis Claxton
Repairing, even just painting, an old house with some of today’s conventional building materials could begin processes leading to decay, or bring about changes that erode interest and value. Old house owners have a big investment to protect and many will want to do this as economically and sustainably as possible.
