Historic homes add charm, challenges

May 19, 2012 | A couple of years ago, our exchange student from China told his friends he was living in a house that was more than 100 years old. Was it a new bride, making the house hers. They were horrified and worried the house was about to fall down because everything in their city is new. Blandings Builds His Dream House” is one of our favorite movies. I can’t imagine living someplace where everything is new and there is no history to dream about. My husband and I love old houses. We had a picture from 1908 and another one from 1912, so we know the front dormer was added sometime in those four years. Did the family have more children and needed to make the attic into living space. Was the porch original, or added by a new family. I ask the same type of questions about our house now. Our house in Maine was probably built around 1810, with granite from a local quarry. After learning of yet another house repair, we watch “The Money Pit” and think we’re not in that deep. Were the people who... Read more »

Questions & Answers

Can I burn old books in my fireplace?

Nov 14, 2006 by .El Distortion.

I have 20 year old text books that no one would want. Rather than throw them away I thught I might burn them. Will it be safe or have any adverse effect on my flue?

Just to counter some of the above comments: if it's a poor condition, 20-year old out of date textbook, then your library really doesn't want it. When I worked in a library several years ago, probably half of the trash we threw away was useless old books that people had "donated" and that we couldn't do anything with because they were outdated and in poor condition. If it's a book that you can't imagine anyone wanting, then your library would probably agree with you.

As to your actual question: I wouldn't recommend it. Books aren't designed to be burned, and some of the chemicals in the ink, paper, or glue may be unhealthy if burned or leave excessive ash or residue in your chimney.

What is the name of a surreal painting involving a redhead girl with invisible clothes, burning books and ice?

Jan 10, 2007 by Christine G

The redhead is sitting in the center of a room with two open books, one featuring a drawing of a statue's head with leaves as hair, resembling the girl. A large version of this statue head is in the hallway to the left with a window looking out on an urban setting with half its face blocked by a fireplace. Fire has escaped and are buring books next to the two the girl is reading. The hallway to the right is being flooded with water from an ocean carrying a large ship in the distance. On the right side of the painting is a bookcase covering the wall, containing many books, three of which have visible titles ("Decameron", "Symboles" and "L'Habit De Cheval"). On the left another version of the girl is standing with her hands behind her back looking in the direction of ice in the form of very small mountains turning into rocks (in the room), with water flowing into the room and a large balloon carrying plants in the distance. On the exteme left, inside the room is a large bare tree.

I don't know for sure, but it should be Salvador Dali.
However I quickly scanned his paintings and did not find any that corresponds to your description.
