The House of Red Doors
In September 2003, we bought a Second Empire Victorian house with bright red front doors in central Massachusetts. It has many issues, but it has a lot of charm too. These are our (slow and plodding) adventures in maintaining and renovating the House of Red Doors.

The House (2003)
We assembled this photo compendium on 7.27.03, the day we did the house inspection, for the express purpose of showing our friends and families a quick view of the house we were attempting to purchase.
These drawings are meant to give a general sort of idea of the room arrangement in the house. They are notnotNOT to scale, or even correct except in the very general manner in which things are connected and flow.
