The Albemarle Renovation Blog Launches!
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a new renovation blog which will be called the Albemarle Reno blog. As the picture above shows, the house itself is incredible but there’s lots of work to be done; this is also the first non-rowhouse we’ve featured as well as the first house in Victorian Flatbush.

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a new renovation blog which will be called the Albemarle Reno blog. As the picture above shows, the house itself is incredible but there’s lots of work to be done; this is also the first non-rowhouse we’ve featured as well as the first house in Victorian Flatbush. So please give a warm Brownstoner welcome to the Albemarle Reno bloggers and go check out the first post which just went up!
Joe from Brooklyn, years ago an anonymous poster (back when those existed) suggested an offshoot blog to be called “Vinylsider” for the demographic you mention. I nearly fell off my chair laughing. But thought it a really good idea actually. Jon, maybe there’s franchise blog potential.

There are plenty of cute houses in southern Brooklyn that are within the price range of an “accountant married to a cop”, etc. The last time I checked there were many houses in so-called “brownstone Brooklyn” with ugly ass vinyl siding. I would suggest when you move to a new place, especially a blue-collar mecca like Brooklyn you check your funky Westchester attitudes at the door. Median per capita income in Brooklyn is $32,135 btw.

Privacy is SO last century, ENY.
that is an awesome looking house. do us a favor tho, paint it a great color, be a little funky with it. i suggest teal and sea foam green, then do the yard stuff with complimentary colors. 🙂 good luck, looking forward to your blog!

“If you’re doing an extensive renovation and budget is of the highest priority, you probably don’t want photo documentation of the process on the web.”
No kidding! I can’t understand why anyone would do this, unless they are planning to flip the place later and want publicity. I’d never put my own home and primary residence on any blog. But that’s me.
Wasn’t this where they filmed part of an “Gossip Girl” episode on the porch passing the location off as The Hamptons?
that stuff isn’t cheap.
Forget vinylsider. Anyone register http://www.hardiplanker.com yet?
“I’m sure there are some normal people of relatively modest means that are buying older homes out there. I would like to see a focus on the budgeting as it would be a working couple with a modest budget.”
I guess you have not yet discovered the HGTV channel.
hypothetically speaking, of course.
