Beautiful job! Makes me wish I was younger, because I used to do many like that. Even recently, I've been offered some beautiful old ballon and post-and-beam houses and barns - free for the taking - but couldn't do it.
What I don' t envy, is dealing with current Uniform Building Code regs and trying to restore old buildings and make them conform. Sometimes the legal aspect is more difficult then the hands-on part of the job.
