144: Don't Rush the Rehab - Kate Wood Knows What's Worth Preserving

This week's episode begins with the big announcement that Daniel is no longer the owner of Bluestone Cottage. The sale has been finalized. 

Then, Stacy and Daniel answer a listener question about career paths in historic preservation that don't require a master's degree. With the help of Caitlin Meives, Director of Preservation with the Preservation League of New York State, they discuss the importance of networking and volunteering and the availability of webinars and certificate programs. They also suggest reaching out to local preservation nonprofits and organizations to gain experience and make connections. 

Later Stacy and Daniel chat with Kate Wood, a historic rehabilitation strategist. She discusses her work in helping homeowners preserve and restore their historic properties. Kate explains how she helps clients identify what is worth preserving in their homes and navigate the rehabilitation process. She emphasizes the importance of taking time to understand the unique character and needs of each property and advises against rushing renovations. Kate also shares her experience in historic preservation advocacy and offers advice for those interested in the field.
