this is real raw stuff of what is really happening in Syria
Oil mainly. The flowers sure do add to it.
SPREAD THE CHANNEL PLEASE 😄
When are you moving to Colorado?
Unfortunately, the fellow who was going to buy the farm backed out the other day, but he has a partner who is very interested so maybe within the next 6 months as planned. My daughter is coming here to load up a bunch of antiques within the next 3 months.
Go west young Lady
We're going to use the furniture in a venue that she has in Loveland, and sell them as well.
Oh, Ron, I want to so badly.
My uncle lived in Loveland
I raised my 2 kids in Durango. Lived there for about 30 yrs. Son is still there and daughter is in Ft Collins. I like Loveland better.
High dollar for pre turn of the century antiques
Exactly.
My mother collected for decades and I got stuck with it...I know exactly what you'll go through...everyone wants to low-ball ya
I ended up having a third party appraise it all
I need to do research on taking antiques into the dry atmosphere. The few that I had in Durango all split. I didn't know any different then.
Lots of oil(care)
And humidity I assume, gradually decreasing it.
HA! I own an expensive de-humidifier.
Seattle weather never was conducive to old school wooden furniture
I fight mildew on the furniture. At times, it's just awful.
Woo Hoo I am at #27!
Higher altitudes will assist in preserving your furniture
Congrats...I just hit 40 ten minutes ago
For whatever it is worth
Mildew can actually ruin wood. I've tried so many formulas. The funniest was mouthwash.
Oil oil oil
Congrats too. If I'd stay on chat I'd be much further along. Just oil?
All I ever used...for the wood I used linseed
Refined oil specifically for wood
I live in a log house, so I even have to do them! It's quite an ordeal and has added to my back problems.
Small amounts and used sparingly as not to leave a film
Plus, I don't have forced air to help.
Clothes, boots, even pots and pans!!
Don't matter...use your dehumidifiers
Wood heat?
I can't wait to not have this problem anymore. Yes, wood burning stove.
Always running in winter?
Yes.
But only in one room downstairs. The rising heat keeps the 2nd floor and attic at bay.
Old homes are hard to keep from mildewing up
