Steve and Jocelyn's urban adventures while renovating a 100-year old Chicago-style 2-flat. Doing the majority of the work themselves on the weekends. We hope to reveal the trials, tribulations, highs and lows of home remodeling and restoration. The sacrifices are significant, but so are the rewards.

Chicago 2-Flat: Stripping Wood Using a Heat Gun 101
http://chicago2-flat.blogspot.com/2005/07/stripping-wood-using-heat-gun-101.html
Tuesday, July 19, 2005. Stripping Wood Using a Heat Gun 101. As promised, I am posting more detail on my process for removing paint from wood using our friend the heat gun. As you who have done it know (and there are too many of you to mention here), removing paint from wood is a real accomplishment filled with gratification. Some just don't seem to understand and that my friends is why we have Houseblogs! People who not only enjoy stripping paint off wood (well, kind of) but they will also read about it!
Chicago 2-Flat: This is the house that nature built...
http://chicago2-flat.blogspot.com/2008/07/this-is-house-that-nature-built.html
Tuesday, July 08, 2008. This is the house that nature built. We spent last week in Ludington, Michigan visiting Steve's parents. When we go there, we always get in a day of hiking and a short canoe trip. As we walked the trail, the thought came to my mind that we were in ". I studied poetry in college and sometimes it comes back to me. Not like it used to. I used to think in poems all the time, but when I got into the business world, that kind of went away. Or this area where the dune and forest meet.
Chicago 2-Flat: Doe a Door
http://chicago2-flat.blogspot.com/2007/12/doe-door.html
Thursday, December 20, 2007. It look longer than we thought and planned (of course), but Steve managed to get the door installed the first week in December. It looks good, way better than the old door. And best of all, it won't fall apart! There is nothing I cherish more, you know, than doing a job over especially because we have nothing else better to do (cough cough ejem). We plan to build an overhang above the door to protect it from the elements. I think it will be very charming. Oh, and we added a d...
Chicago 2-Flat: Aspirations
http://chicago2-flat.blogspot.com/2011/04/aspirations.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. In Spring the Sailboat comes out! So it's Spring in Chicago and we know this how? And because the grass is turning green- in places. I don't know about the rest of you, but for us, living in a city with dogs and a small backyard, we inevitably turn to lawn repair in the Spring.and Fall, year after year after year. So rather than aspire to the perfect lawn, we aspire to be lawn-free! At least the rain helps the grass grow faster. Labels: greening the 2-flat. Enon Hall - Lancaster...
Chicago 2-Flat: Battening Down the Hatches
http://chicago2-flat.blogspot.com/2009/09/battening-down-hatches.html
Saturday, September 12, 2009. Battening Down the Hatches. It's that time of year. Time to prepare for another long Chicago winter. What does this mean at Chicago 2-flat? Well, it means painting exposed wood, re-glazing some old windows, patching our hot tar garage roof, touching up our building's rubber roof with a reflective aluminum coating, securing and caulking the clay coping tiles on the parapet (finally! And some minor concrete repairs. And also keeping heat in and the cold - out! Steve placing th...

This Old Chicago 2 Flat. The trials and tribulations of renovating, living in and renting a 120 year old brick 2 flat in Chicago. Saturday, December 09, 2006. Swallowed up by non-house stuff. I guess I've been a bit quiet lately. It's the nature of the season, I suppose. After a furious level of house activity, plus the kitchen remodel of my mom's, the rest of our lives have sort of taken over, and I didn't think the house blog would be the way to go on that.

Chicago 2-Flat
Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Year of the Squirrel. This morning I was driving to work and as I sat waiting for the light to change, I saw a squirrel run across the road. I was impressed how it crossed between the standing cars. They say animals can learn those things. I remember reading " Watership Down. And there being something in there about the dangers of the road. (Which reminds me, I really need to re-read that book! I myself notice all kinds of animals, but I am as they say, " very tuned in.
