When I bought my old house, it had been converted into four small apartments.  I (with help, of course) knocked out some walls, removed two kitchens, and turned it into a nice spacious duplex. Mostly by myself I gutted two rooms completely, down to the studs, and put in new electrical wiring. Passed inspection, too.

I'll have to check out Old House Journal. We're still learning some of this stuff. Fortunately, my hubby is very handy. He's also a perfectionist, so the job had better be done right the first time or not done at all. I appreciate it; the house is technically my dad's, after all, and we want to hand it over to my parents when we move out in better shape than when we moved in (it already is).
