NOTICE OF POSTPONEMENT FOR SUNDAY MARCH 15TH WORKSHOPS.
Hello
After much consideration and with the events and cancellations that have taken place over the past 48 hours in regards to the corona virus, we have decided that it would be best for us to reschedule this Sunday’s workshop until a later date rather than to put our attendees at risk.
We will be in touch with a new date once everything has settled.
Best wishes Dr Christopher Cooper

The General Repair and renovation of an Older House, from the foundation to the top of the chimney!
Sunday March 15th, 2020 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Curriculum:
Dr Christopher Cooper will instruct you on how to make your Old House work again – effectively and efficiently!

Many owners of Older Houses (prior to 1970) find it hard to source reliable information on how these older houses function properly. This workshop is designed to educate the home owner on general repair and maintenance of, but not limited to:

- Repair of original wood windows and doors (to make them as efficient as modern replacements).
- Stairs and railings.
- Flooring – hardwood and softwood.

- Masonry – stone and brick.
- Roofing – best roofing materials and proper flashing, chimneys.
