Renovation of old houses would be my dream job. I would buy old houses in distress and make them whole again. Keeping the history alive, because we just don't build houses in this manner anymore. My fascination with older houses began as a child. I once lived in a house that was built before electricity. It had this huge fireplace in the kitchen. The fireplace was not in use at the time and had a modern stove in front of it. I would often peek inside. It was large enough for me to walk in,which was about 4 ft tall. It had this long cast iron bar across the top, to which one could hang their cooking pots on. It was from that day froward. I began to pay attention to the littlest of details, when it came to old houses.
Old houses are so unique. Such craftsmanship and detail went into them. They were definitely built to last. Although I understand nobody probably wants to cook in an open fireplace anymore. I would still some how like to preserve as many details as possible. i would personally gladly give up some modern luxuries to live in the midst of such character.

I think that is a great idea, is to preserve history. Especially old homes or other types of buildings.
I went to Oroville yesterday for an Antique show, and I love to look at all the old things that I even remember we had in our family. I found almost like new condition plaid school lunch box, that I use to have when I was kid in the fifties. It almost made me cry. I ended up buying it. I felt like I made the biggest score.

I think it is a really great idea to preserve old houses. I totally agree with you about how there are not many more old style houses now days. That would be great if you could bring that style back!!
WOW...I think that your dream job is awesome. When I was younger I used to want to do that. Anyways preserving the history of an old house is such a beautiful thing to do. I hope some day your dream job comes true!
