Old House DIY: Investigating & Troubleshooting Workshop

Presented by Columbus Landmarks Foundation

This workshop is designed to help home owners identify & resolve common maintenance problems. From the roof top to the foundation, learn to identify the warning signs before they become a more serious and expensive problem. The session will cover tips for examing the roof, the drainage system, masonry components, and wood components. Important safety issues, such as lead paint, will also be discussed. Whether you plan to make repairs yourself or hire a contractor, you'll gain knowledge of old house materials and be better prepared to care for your home for years to come. Landmarks will be the guest of the Franklinton Area Commission for this session. We'll be at the Gladden House (183 Hawkes Ave.), one of Columbus' historic settlement houses. There is plenty of free street parking near the building.
