After a lovely Fathers Day visit with families, we are back on the pond and ready to rock and smash!
The walls come tumbling down. We are not (very) surprised to discover that the 1880s portion is all post and beam…and that few if any “posts” still have non-rotted out contact with…well…anything! Looking forward to laying a beautiful stone hearth around the stove, but first we should probably do some structural work.
The neighbors invite us over for rhubarb cake and conversation and happen to have some old framed photos of the original structure from the early 1900s. Eleven children were born in this house!
