Your Old House Workshops
Do you have an old house that is starting to show its age or needs to be more
energy efficient? Or maybe you've always been interesting in learning to compost
or repair your wood windows yourself. Whatever the issue, our new fall workshop
series - Your Old House - is here to lend a hand!
Come join our "old home experts" for a fun and informational
workshop series, held on a series of Tuesdays at the Stone Tolan House Museum.
Topics include visual inspections and energy efficiency, winter preparation,
composting, window repair, plaster, drywall and painting. Your Old House
workshops begin September 30 and run through October 21.
Special thanks to sponsors Jay P. Tovey Co. Inc. and Historic
Houseparts for all their help with making these workshops possible.
