House Porn a la Catherine Horsey
Was it Jimmy Carter who said he had lust in his heart? I lust for almost everything made out of brick, mortar, stucco, stone or (now) ICF. (Frame is OK too as long as no termite damage.) I have a wonderful compatriot who also has lust in her heart of a slightly different kind — preservation.
I welcome Catherine Horsey to Dallas Dirt. (Please wipe your feet.) Catherine will be joining us periodically to talk about old houses, new houses, sustainable houses and other topics. You might remember her from Preservation Dallas , Urban Reserve or one of the two soon-to-be-opening Audubon centers . She now spends a lot of time talking/lecturing/educating about how old houses, pre- air conditioning, were the original sustainable houses.
CE:God, Catherine, do you really like to sweat that much? Living in a home without A/C is like living in one giant hot flash!
CH: Candy, it’s like a spa facial, good for your pores.
Since I’m a House Princess — no marble around the tub means we are camping– I think Catherine is just what we need around here to bring in fresh, clean, un-airconditioned air through hand-cranked thermo windows to give us the down and dirty on green and preservation.
Welcome Catherine!

What a score! Catherine is a great addition to DallasDirt. I look forward to her posts.
Catherine Horsey is a goddess! Met her when I was considering Urban Reserve, and she is just a joy to be around. I’m looking forward to hearing her input.
I agree with all – I sorta, almost built a house in Urban Reserve – and Catherine was a delight from start to (not quite)finish!
Hello. And Bye.
