Clay Work Repairs

The New Year has also begun with efforts to repair some pieces in Bill's studio. This tall vase had a crack now sealed with fiberglass mesh and Bray-poxy from the Archie Bray Foundation in Montana.  Earlier, the large "Moon Pots" below have been repaired similarly.







This garden seat is in the midst of repairs with tinted Bray-poxy.

A New Chimney Cap

Old Farm has a new custom stainless steel chimney cap to cover three newer flues; connecting three original fireplaces. After repointing some chimney bricks and sealing them all, this 52" x 38" large cap completes our roof work. 





























Bill & Alex intstalled a chimney liner the weekend we closed on the house.
