The video below is on more of a personal level, we just bought a 110 year old character home back in June, so I will talk about some of the work we have done and what was involved.  Luckily my partner is a handyman, so we saved a bunch on labor costs.


If you have any question please contact me for more info.


Thanks - Ainsly Gower
