In this Episode, Devyn and Stacy have a blast interviewing Scott Sidler from Austin Historical and The Craftsman Blog. Learn about Scott’s unique path into historic preservation, his favorite kind of restoration work, and what in the world is a house sandwich?
Tangents include Disney World, NPR, and the pole in the middle of the stripping room at Scott’s workshop. It’s not what you think!
