New Stuff

Well, the new portico is under construction. We considered changing the appearance of it. However, it was decided to stay true to the original design. It is a historic home after all.

The inside will be totally different though. We removed a wall ( which brought the room back to its original state). We kept the opening that was covered with 2 doors ( we think the workers dropped hay or something down from 2nd story to the carriage). However, we moved the staircase to the other side of interior brick wall. We are still getting bids for an iron railing. :)



With that all said, we were surprised with a new feature, the  "skylight". Part of the attic floor was opened up next to a dormer and is all framed in to be a skylight



You can see this skylight through the opening from the ground level. That is pretty cool .


The utility room is up in attic now as well
