Yes, I live in Europe and have an old house dating back to the 19th century, with thick stone walls.
Stone? We had only unburned bricks, no right angles, several kinds of walls put together and bulging out to rooms. It is always funny to add or redo some furniture, electric work âŚ
The outside walls are stone, but inside itâs a big mess: I never know what color the dust will be when I drill a hole. And I canât even imagine right angles or straight walls. It must be so handy.
Same here, we tried to figure out how old our house was once and the furthest back we got was 1850. The house existed before that for sure but thatâs the oldest bit of paperwork we could dig up for it.
Have you checked with the church? Oftentimes their books are more complete compared to other sources before 1800 somethingâŚ
