I agree. When we built our extensions on our 1923 model house we pulled down two old houses that were rotting away & used the timber, corrugated iron, doors, trim, picture rails, flooring & metal ceeling work in the new part of our house.
I know of a couple of houses that are absolutely magnificent, but, rotting away. Once they loose a sheet of iron they are as good as stuffed.

Thanks for taking the time to smell the roses, we are in such a rush to get somewhere we rarely spend time just enjoying life.
