…the one with the history.
First, thank you all for your interest in the contest over at Cris’! She had an awesome turnout – and there are now a heckuva lot more people in the new Stitched Ravelry group! Yay!
Now, on to our regularly scheduled program:
During the demolition, we uncovered the original door frame of our house. It was attached using hand forged nails:
It’s staying uncovered.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Cool! How often does one see that? Very exciting.
Wow – that is so cool. When was your house built?
so neat!
@Christina We think it was built in the late 1700’s – RR says that probably isn’t the original door frame since they didn’t use nails very often back then. It’s post and beam construction and if you look at the beams you can see the wood plugs they used to hold parts of it together.
What a cool discovery!
That is so cool!!! The house we’re moving into is post and beam construction…hand forged nails..Yeah, I’d be leaving that exposed too.
Wow… that is awesome! I love that your house is Built of Historical Win.
Very cool.
Very nice find indeed :)
Very cool. I love finding old stuff like that
I love little details like that.
Seriously cool!
There are some benefits to an old house.
Handforged nails? That is really cool!

That is awesome.
