 One current
project
is completing a Japanese-style timberframe addition
begun in 2004 at the north side of the house. It will
unify all the work of the past and remedy dry rot that has
occurred over the past 135 years.

The ridge beam extends from
the house and supports the roof |


Geology: a great source for later
landscaping!

Marion drove the bobcat down the west side of
the house, excavating excavating excavating for 8-foot
ceilings. |
