This little project took most of the summer 1999.

Our 1876 vintage Swiss Style Norwegian Farmhouse needs constant attention. This time, Roof Overhaul was the name of the game.

There were no building permits on file for this little mansion! Chck out the size compared to the 8 inch section of the ruler in the lower right corner!

But, there are more to this. . .

The fall of 1996, we started to add a 800 sc ft addition. Here, the excavator causes a mess in the garden.	After a few months of work, ths was the situation around april 1997.

In order to have meaningful activity during the summer, (like moving lawns), we of course had to add lots of lawn after this major undertaking. Sorry about the musle guy hiding the house from the photographers view.
