http://anurbancottage.blogspot.com/2012/01/greek-revival-exterior-renovation.html
Friday, January 20, 2012. Greek Revival Exterior Renovation - Before and After.

Here's the house when I bought it. I never intended to document this process when I started. So I'm sorry it isn't the best photo. My journey started with a t...

So far, the only obstacle we've come across is that they installed the windows, and custom fit all the trim pieces around them, s...
