Among the many sites and districts in Richmond listed on the National &#038; State registries is the Chestnut Hill/Plateau Historic District (PDF).



Located in the northeastern corner of the city and including First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Avenues, and the cross streets from Brookland Park Boulevard to Trigg Street, the area is part of what [...]]]></description>

The summer issue of Richmond Magazine&#8217;s R&#8226;Home has a nice article on a southside ranch home-improvement blog. The article suggests a few other related sites, including our humble production, Bill Chapman&#8217;s Enon Hall, the house blogging central that is houseblogs.net, and our friends over in Jackson Ward.

We put in a handrail at the front steps because the city said that we had to. It took us 2 tries to get it right.



We wanted to put in a good, solid, old-fashioned plumbing pipe handrail. A lot of the houses that have been continually occupied on our neighborhood have them, and they&#8217;re classic [...]]]></description>

The former boarding house/whore house across the street has been restored and is for sale. For only $193,000, you&#8217;d get a house AND some good stories to tell&#8230;

School is still has 2 more weeks to run before we can really switch gears into getting back on the house. This will be the summer that great strides are made towards finally finishing repairing the siding and painting the house, picking up where we left off 22 freakin&#8217; months ago&#8230;

I&#8217;ve recently put up on local community blogs 2 posts (with photos!) that might be of interests to old house folks: 801 North 24th coming back to life, about the incipient restoration of an 1855 brick home in the Union Hill neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia; and Cast and Wrought, a look at cast&#038;wrought iron architectural [...]]]></description>

The city sent us a letter last week informing us that the condition of our house does not meet code and that we have 30 days to fix the problems or face fines (we are not alone in this).



The city dinged us on a collapsing section of privacy fence out back, the peeling paint on [...]]]></description>

After 4 1/2 years in the house, we finally got the will together to bust up into the attic last week.



Given the things that we&#8217;ve found before, we completely expected the attic to be packed with bones and poop.




I&#8217;ve lost some sleep thinking about this wiring.



Dry! No poop!  No evil clowns!



We installed a set [...]]]></description>
