    I renovated two federal brick farmhouses from circa 1840 in the Shenandoah Valley. I put down a ground vapor barrier on the sides that did not have an open cellar beneath and it made alot of difference. What are your plans for the ground etc. Is it necessary as renovation techniques change and our reconsidered now. I started on my first in 1972 and my last in 1988. Good luck and you will get there in time to need to start over again. Old homes are a lifetime commitment, but so worth it.

      We did that when we were 28 and bought a 200 year old house. 47 years later and we are really done but still look for things whenever we renovate another space. Old barns are really a treasure to dig around in too!
      Also we still metal detect the grounds every once in a while to see if anything is coming to the surface where other buildings were. It's been a fun ride!

    Well back in 1976 there were quite a few things you could still buy for a Penny! Haha I'm not sure anyone, ever a child would have cried over its loss, but then again some of the 'penny candy & bubble gum ' was darned good back then. I'm sure it would depend on how poor a child might have been back then. Well today when the days of having a 'penny dish' sitting beside the cash register for occasional use are long long so we might as well be a dollar short because I don't think the big box stores let you be even a penny short & still get the item!!!
    I'm from Canada and some government people decided to actually get rid of our pennies completely and everything gets rounded up or down 2-3 cents & if you're using cash & 'strangely ' it seems to always be UP no matter how much I buy haha. Im not sure how many dollars that stores take in in a year doing this but I bet we'd be surprised!!! Of course if we're using plastic money its not rounded I don't think but who knows what those cash registers are programmed to do haha
    The old saying was "If you watch your pennies and look after them, the dollars would look after themselves" well in Canada 🇨🇦 we can't even do that now. 😄 🤣 😂
