Craig & Yvonne's Victorian Home

Been watching this site for a couple years now very good site about restoring an old Victorian home . Here is a funny excerpt from there site-

Open Letter to Rich People

Dear Rich People,

First of all we would like to thank you for taking the time to read about our restoration project. We are a young, hard-working couple who are trying to restore a piece of history for future generations to enjoy. These projects, while very rewarding upon completion, are very, very expensive. We are doing almost all of the work ourselves to cut the costs, but even the cost of the raw materials is staggering. If you are inspired by the work we are doing, we would like to let you know that we are accepting donations. We have not received any donations as of yet, but we remain hopeful. In exchange for your very generous gift, we would happily name a room in your honor. (i.e. "The Rockefeller Living Room" or perhaps "The Trump Bedroom") Just think of the pride that you would feel knowing that you have financed such a worthy cause. You could send the website link to all of your wealthy friends and say, "That's right, I paid for that!" With your generous donation also comes a permanent invitation to all our future Halloween Parties. (a privilege that money cannot buy. Well, in this case...) Please send an e-mail and we can arrange a funds transfer.

Anyway, thanks in advance for your huge, lump-sum donation. (did I mention tax-deductible?) We really appreciate it!

Sincerely,

Craig & Yvonne

I'm still in shock over the San Francisco "Grand Victorian"! I have been to Craig and Yvonn'es site. I actually went back repeatedly when renovating my own house in Black Rock. It gave me inspiration when I got stuck on certain projects. Houseblogs.net is also addictive.
