Any Websites Speciific to Cape Cod Architecture?

Hi There!  I am restoring/remodeling a 1930's cape cod in the midwest, near a lake.  I have been trying to gather info about cape cods. I would like to find a website specific to this.  I have searched the internet.  I'm being influenced by cottage style also.  Any suggestions/ideas?

Thanks for your time!

Tip: Plumbing Fixture Sources

Tip:  When you buy plumbing fixtures, try to get them at a local plumbing supply house vs a Big Box store.  I learned at a pro plumber website that quality of items are lesser at Big Box in some cases.  Example:  Faucet manu make the same faucet but use plastic parts for Big Box and metal for pro suppliers.  Even tho they look exactly the same, they may not be.

Bathroom sinks:  I needed a very shallow sink for my current bath remodel.  I wen » READ MORE

Maybe this guy/gal has too much time on their hands.  What do you think?  My life is sideways enough.  :)

OT...Dust Bunnies

Where do dust bunnies come from?

?Recycle Old WIndow Weights-Uses?

Hi There,

I am proud to announce that I have finished installing my first replacement windows (10 now, more later this yr) in my foreclosed "Carnie Crackhouse".  (I accidentily got italics..oops) I had to replace the original 1934 single paned leaking, high maintenance windows.  Purists and maybe most designers would be mad/unhappy but I was willing to trade real wood for low/no maintenance in this case, in my part of the world.

Anyway, have (40) » READ MORE
