Michael MacPhail is back to discuss the progress on the Smart Old House, a case study for the development company we are starting soon. We will be taking old houses and preserve their character while incorporating technologies that will increase their energy efficiency, giving the houses 100 more years of useful life.Our house was built in 1794, a simple federal style house with two telescoping additions, a 5.5' basement, dirt crawlspaces, worn out plumbing and thousands of powder post beetles. This is part 3 in the case study series.For photos and more updates, visit our Facebook page talking home renovations, or find us on instagram- @talkinghomerenovations and @smartoldhouse. ***************************************************Thanks so much for being with us this week.  Please see the episode enhancement for this and other episodes at talkinghomerenovations.comDo you have feedback you would like to share?  Would you like to be a guest on the podcast?  Email me at thehousemaven@talkinghomerenovations.comIf you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your friendsDon’t forget to subscribe to the show and get automatic updates every Wednesday morning with the latest episode of Talking Home Renovations with the House Maven.  Click here to get the episode enhancements sent directly to your inbox every week.Reviews and ratings help my show gain traction and credibility.  Please leave a review here- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-home-renovations-with-the-house-maven/id1481716218Visit Talkinghomerenovations.com for episode enhancements, containing photos and more information about the episodes as well as transcripts.  There you can leave a voice message through speak pipe that could be included in a future episode.Follow me on instagram: @talkinghomerenovationsJoin me on Facebook: Talking Home RenovationsFollow me on Twitter: @talkinghomerenoJoin me on TikTok: @The House MavenTalking Home Renovations with the House Maven is part of Gabl Media, the largest, most engaged AEC network on the planet.  Visit www.Gablmedia.com for great content. Sign up for the weekly newsletter- I send out the episode enhancements every Wednesday morning,   sign up hereThanks to Ray Bernoff, the editor of the show. www.RayBernoff.comMusic at the beginning and end of the episode is The House Maven's Jig, written and performed by Neil Pearlman, www.neilpearlman.comShow Cover Art by Sam White www.samowhite.comThis podcast is a production of dEmios Architects. www.demiosarchitects.com
