| I also highly recommend OHJ. And it's not just for old houses! Much of
the information applies to new or middle aged houses, too.

| Great!
Do either of you have a copy of the now out_of_print "Dating Old Houses"
?
It is a 64 page summary put out by the OHJ, and since it was produced, the
information was not fully reproduced in the paperback version of "The
Old House Comependium" ... a real source/help/advice etc. book for anyone
fixing up "old" houses . (old = 1740 thru 1950).
I particularly need the variations in construction practices between 1790
and 1890, for foundations, post_and_beam fabrication, rooms, and windows.

OK, you've sold me on OHJ, and I haven't even seen it. I'll start
subscribing.
I'm wondering if any of you local pack-rats would like to lend or
re-sell (some of) your back issues to a cheap-skate like myself.
(Sure, I know I can order them from OHJ.)
I'll also check local libraries to see if any of them have issues
that can be borrowed.

| RE: .7
Yes it include other regions. Old House Journal is mainly concerned with
houses built prior to (I believe) 1940. In fact, they had an interesting
article recently about the restoration of a southern plantation "house"
(i.e., mansion).

Yes, most definately. OHJ covers the entire US. The only caveat, as
.8 says, is that the houses be old.
Just a nit. I may be wrong, but I believe there have been several
discussions about the Craftsman Bungalows (1940 - 1946?).
In any event, based on my own personal experience, if you plan to do
any major work on an older house (Victorian era or before), I
recommend getting the whole set of reprints, with Index, from 1980
to 1989. It has been a constant source of information.
My only negative comment, is that the Index does not cover
everything, nor does it specify the 'dominant' articles.
I have been annotating my own index, as I discover 'un-indexed'
articles of interest to me. Browsing through the reprinted articles
is almost as much fun as browsing through an old house. It seems no
matter how many times I've been through it; there are still things
to be found.

| 5.11 | Help with "Old House Journal" | ELWOOD::OBRIEN | | Fri Sep 06 1991 10:38 | 18 |

I am in the process of remodeling my house. I will be adding
a new front porch to the House and I saw the exact one I want
to build in the July/Aug issue of the Old House Journal. It
was on a House that was for sail in the back of the Mag. the
house is from somewhere in Nova Scotia. It is a Cape style home
with a simple but nice front porch. My problem is this, I saw it
at the Library and now that issue is gone. I need a picture
of it to show my builder. Could some one out there who has
this issue please photo copy this picture and send it to me
via inter office mail. I have tried to find the issue other
places but no luck. I am located in Shrewsbury, my mail stop
is SHR3-2/X27.
Very gratefull in advance

The info in a previous reply containing a phone number is no longer correct.
OHJ has moved to good olde Massachusetts, and its new number is 508-283-3200.
They can also be reached toll free at: 800-234-3797, and their current
subscription rate is $24/year...
