Welcome to the restoration of an 1800's Vernacular Farmhouse. Here you will see before and after pictures that
transform this house back in time to its original character. Modern amenities have been retained in a way to
naturally flow with the period in time when they may have been added. This is an ongoing restoration at this time
with 90% of the total project complete. Be sure to check back each Month or as frequent as you like for updates.

| This page will have thumbnails like my other Gallery pages. Here's a few 6" teaser images to show you some of the transformation in progress! |
| The picture to the left shows the vinyl siding that was put over the original clapboards. When the vinyl was put on the house, the original 2 over 2 windows were replaced with vinyl replacement windows. |
The picture to the right shows the
restored original clapboards on the
front of the house with the new
green and cream paint. The plank
door was built in 1998. The vinyl
windows are all being replaced with
authentic 2 over 2 single glaze like
they were originally.
