New Life for an Old House- Exterior Research

After getting four books in the mail I realized I need to add more detail into the repairs of the exterior.  The first book I read that had great information on exterior repairs is call "New Life for Old Houses" by George Stephen.  It is a guide to restoration and repair of old home, it tells you how to do tons of repairs, and gives you the vocal you need to understand the technique side.  These are the pieces of added information I want to have in my plan, that I have gotten from this book.

• When I repaired and reinstall the windows it's important to create a thick trim to protect the window from rot.
• The siding I talked about repairing needs to be done in small strips; this will lower the possibility of the siding being destroyed.
• The windows used around the time the house was built were queen anne, stick, and shingle style windows.
• Entrances during 1910 in colonial/ neoclassical revival homes were the main feature on the exterior.  The windows, with fanlights, and sidelights need to stay because they add to the style.
• Surface treatment should be done to the outside of the entrance.  We should clean, remove any rust, and reapply the protective coating system.

This is a good reference for exterior vocabulary
