Jack’s Wednesday guest blog –

Many folks have been asking for pictures of the refurbished basement, but I’ve been waiting until it was finished (can it ever be truly finished, he said?). Anyway – last night it was finished enough for the Needlework Gang to get a guided tour, so –

How it was at the beginning.

The 1903 rotted windows.

The ceiling as it was.

A new wall takes shape

New windows.

New ceiling.

Hardwood floor starts to go down.

The entrance to the tomb gets a makeover.

An antique mantlepiece and not so antique fire.

Approval!
(I think!!)
