Renovating a historic home: Preservation tips and challenges

[JAYT CHING]

hi there! My family is planning to renovate my mother's ancestral home. I just want to seek an advice on how to properly preserve the architectural integrity of the old house while addressing its modernization needs. Any tips or challenges that you can share with me? Thanks!

Bro, when renovating a historic crib, keep the original vibe intact by salvaging old materials. Balance that with modern upgrades like wiring and plumbing to make it livable. It's a juggle, but worth it to keep the nostalgia alive... 🏡💡🔨

It’s all about blending old-world charm with modern comfort. Good luck with your project! 🙌
