Sorry if you thought I was posting a message that was not relevant. I just thought if they still wanted help with renovation by someone that understood the concept of retaining original features we might be able to help. We are new to the area and need to explore any possibility of finding work. I am also new to this type of communication so please forgive me. Angela
