Show HN: I wrote a book about remodeling old houses
oldhousebook.com
Over the summer I took a much needed break from working on software all day (I'm a designer who codes) and wrote a book about remodeling old houses instead.
Over the last 8 years or so I've found working with my hands – building things, flipping houses, learning new skills – to be incredibly fulfilling. There's just something about ending your day physically tired vs mentally tired that's just so different. In 2020 in particular I decided renovate our primary bath top to bottom, learning a ton about tiling, plumbing, electrical, and so much more.
After three massive house projects – and a ton of mistakes – I decided to write down everything I've learned about remodeling a house.
If you've ever wanted to try some DIY projects around the house or make bigger changes to your space you might enjoy the book.
I'd love to know what you think or hear about your projects!
