1850's round aves and skirting help.
I am trying to restore the original aves and skirting to my mums new inheritence. A farm house In South Australia built (I think) around 1850's
The house has aves around the windows and doors as a 25mm pine beed inbedded flush with the plaster. now, the house moves, is it worth refixing this round ave to the right position and then plastering up to it, or am I wasting my time becasue the house moves so much, (built on slate).
The next problem, what happend when this round beed comes down to the skirting on the doors? the skirting cannot butt into it becasue it is flush. I cannot tell how they did it in 1850 becasue there are about 5 different moldings overthe original beeding over the years. there is no evidence of large blocks used as houses used around the early 1900's.
I hope you are getting an idea of what Im talking about.
or do I replace all aves around the windows with early 1900's colonial/victorian moulded aves? this would probally hide the movement of the house pulling away from the 1850 round aves..
I would appreciate any help to these matters and thankyou for reading.
