Hi ladies & gents
i'm currently renovating my flat in Dowanhill. Does anyone know how to get to get plans of how the building was originally laid out? It's an old James Thomson designed townhouse now converted to flats & I occupy the basement. I think this would have been the kitchen etc but it'd nice to know.
Also, does anyone know what timber is likely to have been used for the sash windows & shutters etc. I'm refurbing them myself & am trying to retain as much of the original wood as possible but there are areas where this just won't be possible. The timber doesn't seem to be pine but at the same time, I don't recognise it as a particular type of hardwood. Anybody got some idea?
ta
Chris
