Thank you for looking, sharing or purchasing. All proceeds from sales will be used to rebuild my house. My husband & I bought post fire to save from being torn down not knowing the extent of the damage. A life lost in the fire and we will be building a library in his memory. Any and all purchases are GREATLY APPRECIATED. Had roof rebuilt and gable end wall. We have remortgaged our current house to save this one. https://www.facebook.com/Somersworth-NH-Victorian-House-Renovation-540701292986824

maddyhutchin726
That’s gonna be a beautiful home when it’s all done!.
my79ta17
@maddyhutchin726 we sure hope so...its been a lot of work and a lot of money so far...figure we still have another 2 years before it is livable.
lhawkins17
What an incredible home! Best of luck to you on your sales! Great idea! Every little bit helps!
my79ta17

my79ta17
@seliz23 i actually have a Facebook page for the house with pictures from the beginner to now as well as tons of videos. It is Somersworth, NH 1885 Victorian House Renovation
seliz23
@my79ta17 Cool! I’ll have to look sometime this weekend

@seliz23 let me know if you can't find it

@ladywolf816 Here is the house
jeheller
my thoughts and prayers are with you. when I was still in high school my family went through a similar experience. we were out of our house for over 6 months. so it's the worst thing to go through in a few years you'll actually find you're in better shape than you ever were. just keep moving forward🙃
my79ta17
@jeheller thanks...we actually bought it after the fire but because of the shape of it developers wanted to tear it down...we fought to save it. it had to be totally gutted and everything has to be cash because they won't loan against it. we have had it 3 years and our goal was 5
jeheller
@my79ta17 a woman after my own heart. It definitely is a gorgeous place and its history should be preserved. Best of luck to you and your family. I hope you were able to make your deadline
my79ta17
@jeheller thank you...im hoping we can make our deadline too....it has been a lot of work but what we have done so far is impressive. we have a Facebook page for it somersworth nh 1885 Victorian house Renovation

@traceyny12 thank you!!!
ontheharbour
I'm so sorry to hear this. I wish you well!
my79ta17
@ontheharbour thank you. we actually bought it after the fire to save it from the developers but it has cost a pretty penny so far and we still have about double to spend getting it beautiful again:)
paintedjezebel
Hi Kelly! I’m Lisa! It’s so nice to meet you! I’m so so sorry about your house.. how terrible. I know what that’s like. You have a beautiful closet and I’m going to see what I like when I have a bit more time. Also I’m going to the best I can to share what I can. Please no need to share back. It’s ok. I so appreciate it tho that you did.
my79ta17
@paintedjezebel Hi Lisa! It's nice to meet you as well. It's ok about my house. I bought it after the fire so I could save it from developers that wanted to tear it down and put up 2 houses:( We have done a lot already but it takes a lot of time as well as money...and of course they won't loan anything against the house because it is not livable. We have a FaceBook page for our househttps://www.facebook.com/Somersworth-NH-Victorian-House-Renovation-540701292986824/
my79ta17
@paintedjezebel As for sharing....I don't mind and I hope I can help with getting you some sales:)
paintedjezebel

my79ta17
@paintedjezebel it has a lot of history and potential...there was no way I was gonna let it be torn down. We gave ourselves 5 years...will be 3 years next month

pateleigh
I’m so sorry this happened! Praying for a speedy build & the money you need❤️
my79ta17
@pateleigh thank you. We actually bought it after the fire. Saved it from the developers who wanted to tear it down. It has been a lot of work and hard labor thus far but someday she will shine again:)
pateleigh
@my79ta17 oh okay! & yes she will !! 🥰
magpiemaven
What an incredible journey for your family and your home. That’s a huge loss, and undertaking. May you all rise like the Phoenix.🔥✨ I’m sorry you’ve had to go through all of that. The house is Amazing, as well as your Spirit. I wish you the best, and look forward to stories of progress. Will keep sharing, and hopefully some shopping too. 🤗❣️❣️✨

Whoops! Just realized the purchase was post fire. This Ole Girl with good bones is lucky to have been found, cared for and soon to be cherished. Good luck with All of it. 🤗💞💞
my79ta17
@magpiemaven thank you. The home was purchased after the fire and definitely a fight to save her...couldn't let her be torn down. She will shine again, someday:)

richmondsrelics
That’s awful to happen to you. It happened to a neighbor just across from our house. Their house had to be totally removed and a new house built. Fortunately they had insurance. I hope you had insurance too. That’s so sad!
my79ta17
@richmondsrelics hi...we actually bought it after the fire...we saved it from the devolopers. We are trying to get her back but it's slow going because everything has to be cash...they won't loan against it because it isnt livable. It is just a shell at the moment
richmondsrelics
@my79ta17 You have a big task ahead of you. Join some Facebooks ‘old house’ groups for inspiration and help. One such group is Mansions of the Gilded Age. We have an 1880 2nd Empire. It’s constant work ! Like the movie , The Money Pit. It lives up to it!
my79ta17
@richmondsrelics thank you. I will have to check that one out. We do belong to a few but not that one. I loved that movie and quite often think that is what we have...sometimes I wonder if we did the right thing..but she is a solid structure so I couldn't bare to see her torn down.
richmondsrelics
@my79ta17 We had to replace all 37 windows, had the electric redone. It was the original electric put in back in 1909. We got a new roof last year. We just had brick stamped sidewalks put in. It’s cement but looks like bricks. I love it! We had a few overgrown trees and bushes removed. Still so much to do! Painting, papering......
my79ta17
@richmondsrelics we had part of the roof structure and front wall rebuilt...70k...ouch...and replaced 22 of the 50 windows. that was 40k...gotta wait to do the others...they are good windows so should help with heat if it's ever done..lol We have to have everything done, from electric, plumbing, insulation, sheetrock...floors. basically we have a frame
richmondsrelics
@my79ta17 wow! you have more windows than we do! I hated replacing them but most were cracked and taped and chains were broken. The previous owner painted the floors dark brown except where the rugs cover the floor. We had the floor redone. Thankfully we’ve had the funds from selling another house and inheritance. We’re seniors, too old to have any mortgages.
Have fun fixing up your home. It’s going to be stunning when it’s done.

mamasthreads
Thank you for following me, and I’ll certainly follow back and share for this amazing project. Found the FB page and will follow your progress. What a beautiful home and a lovely tribute to Mr. Millers. Renovation of an old house was a dream of ours for many years, but as we got older and our kids grew up, our path changed. Now I follow old house renovations on line to give me those warm feelings. Good luck to you, and I will enjoy your progress along the way. 💕💕
my79ta17
@mamasthreads Thank you for the shares and follow both on here and Facebook. It was always a dream of mine to restore an old Victorian...and this one just fell into my lap as you could say. It needed a lot more work than we anticipated but definitely couldn't let this beauty be torn down to put up 2 new houses. This house has a lot of history and strong bones. It already looks so much better than when we bought it.
heidisue608
Do you have BBW Honolulu Sun? ☀️ Body spray? Thank you so much for your time ♥️🍁

@my79ta17 Thank you so much for answering. Yessss, just ran out. It’s like coconut 🥥 & a piña colada but not cheap smelling. You should definitely check it out. 💛💛💛

Best of Luck to you and your family! I love that you are doing this! 😘🥰🥳
my79ta17
@kmarieposh thank you very much!. I had to save the house because the bones were good and she didn't deserve to be torn down. She's coming along nicely:)
kmarieposh
@my79ta17 good for you! I hate seeing old buildings being torn down for a jiffy lube. That happened in our town. They tore down an old movie theater. It doesn’t seem to happen as much as it used to.
my79ta17
@kmarieposh investors wanted to tear it down. subdivide and put 2 cookie cutter houses up:( It's on almost 2 acres of land which is unheard of where it is located...I said no and outbid them at 75,000
kmarieposh
@my79ta17 that’s so awesome! 🥰🥳
jeweldr
I too live in a Victorian House. You can see some pieces and parts of it in my post photos. Glad you were able to step in and save it! These glorious vintage homes are few and far between. Good luck and be sure to post pictures of your progress. Have a wonderful Wednesday! Julie

my79ta17
@jeweldr Hi Julie! I am going to check out your pictures! It has always been a dream of mine to restore one....not to this extent tho...lol but glad we saved it! You can follow our progress on FaceBook. We have a page dedicated to it. It's Somersworth, NH Victorian House Renovation. We have pics from before we bought it to it's current condition...lots of work already!!
dawnmariebrown
I live in NH. Check out NH Preservation Alliance and see if you can get a grant. They’re small grants but...
my79ta17
@dawnmariebrown thanks...I will check it out. We have looked into getting some grants but because the house isn't on the historical registry so we haven't been able to get one:(
dawnmariebrown
@my79ta17 was there ever a time that maybe dignitaries visited there, or some historical event? I hope so. That would help.
my79ta17
@dawnmariebrown i think it was owned by a mayor but was owed by very wealthy people. The 2nd owner owned almost all of Somersworth
dawnmariebrown
@my79ta17 that might just do the trick
my79ta17
@dawnmariebrown now that would be awesome
2girls2122

This is so hard to go through. My family completely lost a home in 2017 and I lost my grandmother, aunt, and 2 furry babies. I understand what you're going through. You have a beautiful home and I wish you all the best along the way!! 💖
my79ta17
@aprilmcc88 I am so sorry for your losses. We bought this house post fire yo save ot from being torn down. We didn't realize how bad it was. We pretty much have to rebuild the entire house...but it will shine again someday:)

I’m hoping you and your husband have all the money you need to rebuild your home. 🙏💜❤️💙
my79ta17
@bigcanoe1946 me too...lol We need a lot more but selling on PM helps. Next year will be another big expense year...plumbing and electrical. We are gonna try and do most of it to cut costs and have licensed people tie it all in....but she has come a long way in 3 years:) Thank you for looking and your kind words:)

I can see it’s beauty!! Best of luck to you and your husband. ✌️🍁
my79ta17
@glitztrends Thank you so much. We have already made a few changes. the biggest are the 2 walls that just were built and the elimination of 3 windows and addition of a huge door to match the front one I designed. Can't wait til they are installed!! I will definitely add pictures after.
my79ta17
@peace2all711 Thank you so much. A lot of work and a lot of money but she will shine again someday:)
peace2all711
@my79ta17 I’m sure she will. She just needs some love ❤️
my79ta17
@peace2all711 that she does:)
my79ta17
It is a sad day. My husband went to check on the house and it has been broken into yet again. This time they broke several windows. kicked in 2 doors and stole tools, speakers and other stuff. No matter what we do and how hard we try people keep destroying our house:( I just can't keep going thru the heartbreak...
my79ta17
@gogogirl209 thank you Carole...we think so too...glad we could save her but wish people would stop breaking into her...the other night was a lot of damage and theft:(
sellerwick
You should watch The Money Pit if you haven't seen it already. Sadly relatable yet still manages to bring some comic relief.
my79ta17
@sellerwick lol...I love that movie....yes...we are testing missiles here:) We don't mind putting the money into it, altho is has been more than we figured, to this point anyway. It's the people that continue to break in that is frustrating. The last break in came with smashed windows, 2 doors kicked in and a lot of stuff stolen. It defeats the purpose to put money into it when people go and cause damage to it:(
artsywomen
She is a real beauty. I am happy that you are saving her. Good luck!
my79ta17

spunkygen
It will be beautiful when it’s done. Best of luck!! I’ll keep sharing and pray you meet your goal!! Thanks for the shares! It’s helping. Things are tight here on our farm but babies are being born and the profits will go to more fencing! These kids (baby goats) are so cute!!
my79ta17
@spunkygen awww...baby goats...my daughter wants to have goats:) I'm glad the sharing is working...it is here too. Also...thanks for the kind words about my house:)
spunkygen
@my79ta17 the goats are great. They are the Nigerian. We drink their milk too. It’s best to have 2 or more goats since they’re sociable. Glad sharing is helping. It’s a nice big house. Shame the guy lost his life and excellent you’ll be naming the library after him. I see so much potential! One day we want to buy a bigger farm!
my79ta17
@spunkygen my daughter is gonna try selling her house in the new year...sje wants a farm. We love animals. I have 7 cats...she has 3 cats, 3 dogs and a lizard...I also have freshwater and salt water fish too...lol
spunkygen
@my79ta17 you guys sound like us!!!! We have 12 dogs 10 cats 15 goats oodles of chickens and ducks 2 birds and a lizard. Funny. Yeah we have almost an acre and want 2-3 acres! Thought this house would suit our needs but the basement cracked and neighbors are giving tons of problems even though we are not the only farm. But one day we will have our dream. Patience! Good luck with your daughter. The farm is so rewarding.

@spunkygen woozer....lol

cinthia505
we restored a Victorian bungalow that had a short career as a lab. hard work but worthwhile.
my79ta17
@cinthia505 we are going to redo the inside to modern times and keep the outside original since the interior had to be completely gutted...definitely a lot of hard work...but she will be beautiful when she's done
cinthia505

I just wanted to drop you a quick comment and wish you the very best! I’m located in Maine and I build houses with my father for a living. I know just how much goes into the process and especially a rebuild after a fire. My heart goes out to you and yours and I hope you continue to update throughout the process! As I said I wish the best of luck with your posh sales as well as your rebuilding of this beautiful house. 🏠🔨🪚🪛🧰🪜

@godsey19 Thank you so much! This house sat vacant with the fire damage and big holes in the roof for about 4 years before we bought it then it took another year before we could get someone to rebuild the roof and front gable wall. At this point we can only work on it in the warmer weather...so its an even longer process. You can follow our progress on face book...Somersworth nh victorian house renovation. Where in Maine?

@my79ta17 I’m located just outside of Portland. I will continue to try and share your posts daily to help:) in the meantime I will try to find the project online:)
my79ta17
@godsey19 you aren't too far from us. My daughter lives in sanford and we are just over the lebanon maine line. I appreciate your sharing...and I always share back. I think I have the link to our page at the top of this post...let me know if you can't find it
godsey19
@my79ta17 wow that’s a small world! I too have family in Sanford and I myself grew up in Wells! I found the house right online. What a beautiful house it was and I’m sure will be again once you folks are finished! 😀
my79ta17
@godsey19 it is a small world. I was actually born in sanford...lol. I have been in my house now since 97...its gonna be bitter sweet when we finally sell to move into the mansion...lol. We gave ourselves 5 years...its been 3 1/2 but we have all plumbing, electrical, insulation and all the other stuff....hopefully we can get the plumbing done this year

@msaishablake Thank you so much. When I was looking for a house for my daughter I came across this beauty and knew we had to save her. We have done a lot to her already but still have a long road ahead. We gave ourselves 5 years and are 3 1/2 into it. Hopefully this year we can get the plumbing done and figure a heat source.

@my79ta17 It’s truly gorgeous and I can only imagine what it will look like once completed!!!! I can only imagine the painstaking time and work being put into it, but one day to sit back and tell the story of how it came to be will be fabulous!!!! Keep us updated on the progress, luvs!!!✨💕🤩🥳😘🥰🏡
my79ta17

That’s awesome good luck. My husband and I designed and built our house 30 years ago it’s a lot of work I have hammering pangs for you Lol
my79ta17
@upstairs_attic Thank you! It has been a lot of work. We needed to clean it out first and rented 3 40yd dumpsters and still have enough in the house to fill another one. The place was a disaster and the town took out 6 40yd dumpsters before we bought it. It has so much potential but is very overwhelming for 2 people who work full time...ugh

@my79ta17 This looks like it was once a magnificent house. Wishing you and your husband all the best with this!

Hi. Thank you for your note with the Sure Shot baseball…………I haven’t played that game since I was 8 years old(54 years ago🤓) and got it for the grandkids so we could have a few laughs. As you already know, anything worth while requires sacrifice. I shall keep your efforts and the life lost in my prayers. Peace
my79ta17
@petergjs Thank you Peter for your purchase and kind words. I hope you and the grand kids have fun playing a game from your childhood. Enjoy:)
