A message from Dr. Christopher Cooper | Director of Education
As the Editor-in-Chief of Edifice Magazine for the past 20 years (Now Old Home Living Magazine) I get asked many reoccurring questions by our followers and subscribers of specific issues as they relate to a traditional home of character or in this case, a heritage home.
After 20 years of touring our “Restoration Road Trip” across Canada and abroad we have decided that we need to embrace the enormous changes in technologies as well as dealing with a global pandemic to bring owners and lovers of older and heritage homes together in a live setting, safely!
We have created this workshop to deal with the top ten questions and concerns asked by our followers and subscribers.
What You Will Learn in this Homeowner’s Series:
Module One: Formula for Restoration
Treating the cause not the symptom, what issues to look out for in owning or purchasing an older house. Structure, and planing your restoration project.
Module Two: The Heating System
Heating system overviews… the definite do’s and don’ts on older and modern heating systems.
Module Three: Masonry, Brick and Stone
An overview of brick and stone with a look at some reasons why it has failed. What to look for and how it should be restored properly and professionally!
Module Four: Wood Windows & Doors
Why you should keep your wood windows and doors. The best way to make them as energy efficient as replacements and to last another 100 – 200 years.
