Good ideas. I have a CO detector, but haven't checked it lately to see if working. Some of the people at my house don't drink at all but still have headaches. I will follow up on the CO idea. Thanks!

Folks--these are great ideas! I really appreciate your help! I'm new to the Forum. Would like to know how to check the archive for a topic like this. For the future--where can I find directions on how to do it?

Brooklynista, thanks for your kind words in "commenting" thread!
I agree, check the archives. The question has come up more than once, and also appeared on some other design blogs that Brownstoner tends to feature. Many accessible and affordable references already provided by others above. Depending on how elaborate the work you're considering, you might also want to check out The Society of Scribes (and their member/gilders): http://www.societyofscribes.org/index.htm
Also: http://www.roycesignworks.com/ and http://www.goldleafcompany.com/index.html
There are many online pages with instructions for DIY gold leaf and gilding. This is just one: http://www.diyfab.com/2008/03/04/project-gold-leaf-house-numbers/

OP: I'm not sure how I overlooked your reply yesterday (or maybe it wasn't there?). There's a search feature at the top of the Forum page (Topics——Search). The feature only works in a very limited fashion. You'll get better results using the method Brooklynista suggested (Google+).

check the archives for Jerry Pagane. He did a beautiful job for me. Really beautiful.

Do you have a pregnancy detector?

I can give you the name and email of an HVAC guy I've used in the past, you can get in touch with him to investigate,troubleshoot and solve the problem if its a heating issue. His name is Marlon and his email is HVACR007@gmail.com. Good Luck.

I called my HVAC guy and from his expertise, that sounds like a deadly CO problem. You need to address this ASAP. Good luck
