Original caption
I need everyone to understand that I have spent an unreasonable amount of my life unscrewing random curtain rods, hooks, brackets, and God knows what else from my 100-year-old window trim. WHO WAS DOING THIS?! WHY WERE THERE SO MANY SCREWS?! AND WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE ORIGINAL WOOD?! At this point, I’m not restoring a house. I’m conducting a criminal investigation. 🔎 #OldHouse #HistoricHome #HistoricPreservation #OldHouseProblems #diyhome
