Last fall I embraced a new project: a 100 year old duplex in the University District.
In the process of buying it, we invited a small parade of building specialists and subcontractors to consult on its soundness and potential for improvements.
Repeatedly, the verdict was that "It has good bones."
I'll be posting more about the joys and perils of remodeling this stack of good bones with the same tag if you want to follow its development.
