Garden Tables + Seats
Since a new clearing has been made to the road, they are visible as Bill drives by them to work. This firepit has burned many parts of branches from 30 trees we felled here.

A New Roof
Existing roof...
It is time for a new roof on Old Farm now that Bill has completed replacing same period tapered rafters and notching some in to surround the newer central chimney with three flues. This was a three year effort and astonishing as he worked alone to support and leverage 15' heavy; hand hewn pieces of old growth timber. It saved the old sheathing boards we exposed which are very thick and some 2' wide, which I whitewashed. The work included creating a cathedral ceiling over a new staircase which added two bedrooms to the house.
We will add 2 1/2" copper downspouts to wooden gutters ourselves, as exclusively seen in Nantucket and elegant. The new rake boards will also have copper flashing.

New Front Steps
The rails and posts I designed to be made of pressure treated lumber which still look great and now repainted.
