Restoring the Summer Kitchen



Restoration has started today on the Summer Kitchen. David Travis and his crew are doing the work. Here are the first photos. It is expected to take about a month.

The logs are so fascinating, have never seen them before today as they were covered with clapboard. We are saving the clapboard to be used inside. I didn't even realize that there is a loft in the building. The young men who started the work have discovered some things that look like a churn and maybe a crock up there. As they take out the "ceiling" which is the loft floor, we will see what discoveries unfold. So far they have discovered a broken piece of china from Vienna, Austria! We are saving all the things that we find, even broken china.
