[Parts]

Going to look at and price work on a 200 year old house tomorrow I love old houses you never know what will turn up.

i love old houses, too.  i don't think i could live in a modern house, although i am thinking of a self-build eco house when i next move.  i'll make it look old, though.

have you ever seen the ones partially built underground on a hillside to take advantage of the natural heating and cooling of the earth?  This is one of the things that I am very inerested in. My business is making houses more efficient energy wise

i have, yes, and there's always frank lloyd wright's stuff, although that's less about energy efficiency. 

i'll be going for a timber-framed number though, i suspect, unless i can get hold of any recycled stone.  if i ever get round to doing it, of course.

In New England there is a big market for the old barns and houses to reclaim the timber for new ones.  Many of the beams are sizes and types of wood unavailable today

I like traditional homes but always figured if I had to change I'd go all out like that

I have a friend who rents a 150-yo house. Eco it's not--the heating costs a fortune because there are still some windows to be replaced with modern ones--but it's very cool.

One of the things I do for work is energy audits on older homes and give ideas on how to make them more energy efficient

My friend would probably need your services. And so would I, come to think of it.

Global warming and all most people won't do anything till it hits their pocketbook and now that it is it's beginning to happen
