A chronicle of work (and work delayed) on a century home in small town Ohio.

Update: Stuck
Attempts to fish at the stuck window's sash rope failed, partly because the wheel is farther down than I initially estimated. Unless someone has another idea I'll be cutting a new hole in the plaster and lathe as soon as I get the appropriate tools.
I agree. You should also include pictures taken by someone else of all the hijinks you get yourself into with this house--like you stuck inexplicably in a whole in the wall.
Can you take the picture of the whole house from the outside?
I bought a 110-year-old house with some nice architectural accents, many needed cosmetic upgrades, updated plumbing, partly updated electrical, and dreams of fixing things up whilst whistling jauntily on the bright days of summer.
Needless to say I underestimated everything.
This blog is a chronicle (of sorts - I'm notoriously bad at keeping up with things like this over long stretches) of the relationship between me, my house, my tools, and the wealth of knowledge on houses that can be obtained from friends, relatives, and the local library. Projects and problems, and problems with projects, will be described. Options will be discussed. Progress may even be made.

Have you considered using an actual fishing pole? That has huge comedic potential.
