did you pay someone to do it, and if so how big was the ceiling and how much did it cost?

I've most commonly seen estimates of 2-2.50/SF for the total process of removal, "cleaning up" the surface, and painting. Right now though I've found that contractors only want to do large jobs (i.e. big houses) because they are so busy. Doing like 800 SF isn't exactly a high priority :p

Eh, it's bedroom sized? One king sized bed and a few dressers. We paid a professional plasterer to do it, which is why it is divinely smooth. It was nine years ago and I have no idea what it cost; my ex did the project management on that one. But still, nine years on and every time I look at it, it makes me happy, so good investment.

I once did a job in Chicago where the roof of the building, maybe 40 floors or so up, was just a little neighborhood of townhomes. Like, identical to any other little pre-planned townhome neighborhood, trees, little public green areas... Just, on a roof hundreds of feet in the air. It was weird/cool

A HOA fee that's $1,024/mo? I know I shouldn't be surprised for NYC, but what are you getting for that money? (or, given that it's 78 units, what are they supposedly spending 78k/month on?)

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/229-Balance-Meeting-Rd-Peach-Bottom-PA-17563/246002099_zpid/ like many 18th-early 19th century houses this one has a fireplace in every room (save the bathrooms, which were obviously added long after it was built in the mid-18th century).

That house is a hot mess on a postage stamp (DCNR owns or has easement on almost all of the surrounding land). We looked at it when we were shopping for the current place (it's 10 minutes from here). While it may photograph well it it full of all of the drawbacks of its age (small rooms, convoluted layout, compromises everywhere, heating and cooling problems, limited plumbing, etc) without much upside other than building size and the patios. And have fun keeping that place heated and cooled.

There are many better maintained, better modernized homes from that era on better properties all OVER the place around here.

There's a reason it's been on the market for literally years.

Do you guys have any recommendations for really high quality blankets/throws? I would like to get something for my bed (it's MN so it gets cold as gently caress here in the winter). I remember PRADA SLUT had a cool blanket but not sure I want to search back through hundreds of pages for it.

Oh JFC, that's the one up the road. Sorry. No, there is something visually almost identical (from thumbnails I guess - except it's actually old) on the towpath of the Delaware canal in Point Pleasant/Carversville. And now I can't find it on Zillow. Maybe they finally did sell it.

The Zillow search term of the day is "center chimney". Back in ye olden days the most efficient way to heat a small home (most of the homes in this post have since been enlarged) in a cold climate like New England was to put the chimney in the center, allowing fireplaces and/or stoves in each of the rooms around it.

This post brought to you by T H I C C wood and low ceilings

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1069-Tryon-St-South-Glastonbury-CT-06073/174055896_zpid/ Nothing like living on a street named after the guy who built your house in 1780.

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/130-School-St-Wellfleet-MA-02667/56793354_zpid/ Hot take: I like painted hardwood. Built ca. 1820 + later additions



super nice master bedroom in the wing


https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/202-Black-Hill-Rd-Plainfield-CT-06374/112794730_zpid/ Painted patterned hardwood floors are even better. "John Smith House" (one of like 10,000 different John Smith Houses) built ca. 1800 + 2-story wing.

upper level was probably divided into a bunch of smaller rooms, partially opened up to create a cozy library
