A New Barn Roof


The garage barn at this farm is as old as the house; 1780. I believe the house and barn were originally built here because it is a terrific location for water. Christian chose pewter gray high definition shingles which were installed after many plywood repairs were done and a fascia board was added to one side. The entire job was done in a day thanks to A. Damiano & Sons; a fourth generation roofing company whose work is the best! Next is new gutters and then paint.

Both Christian and Leif store their cars here while the third old bay has a table saw and lumber. The left addition is a vintage workshop.

Garden Seats And Tables


Finally the weather is warming enough to open up seasonal rooms and get furniture in place. Bill's garden seats and tables are used all over our houses as well as outside, so enjoying his purposeful art more, is great fun. The library doors here are kept closed in cold weather except when it is being used and seems more of a seasonal room. These ceramic garden seats and table will soon be out on the back deck in sunshine.
