<div>Recently someone asked us about replacing rotten tongue and groove porch floorboards that were installed only a few years ago. Our "Ask the Authority" expert Tom O'Brien explained how to prevent the new boards from deteriorating as quickly as previous repairs by, among other things, properly sealing them before installing. Tom outlines the process step-by-step in an article just posted on our website <a track="on" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0010PxQf1PIYOHAMzF7aq-3aErCN8PJQi1LUwUJUJUPA6I3VAb5dLGP4QdF0rekr4De2zz745nj5nbXaY5tJLtHm6P7nysO2nuXM5ZBCfPMRlwS7POqNmN4RpN4LI_0pokW" linktype="link" target="_blank">oldhouseauthority.com</a>. <br /> <br />Oldhouseauthority.com offers a treasure trove of Tom's advice on topics such as hanging doors, repairing old plaster and containing lead paint. A veteran restoration carpenter, Tom writes frequently about construction practices and old houses. Check out this latest how-to column as well as our other useful features on how to skillfully buy, sell, preserve or repair old and historic properties. <br /></div>

<div>We connect property owners with preservation professionals to ensure the historically appropriate rehabilitation of old houses. Many skilled craftsmen and specialists work independently and are not easy to find. For them, we serve as advocates and promoters, helping to preserve their knowledge and skills while preventing the mistakes in renovation that too often diminish the historic and architectural integrity of old houses.
