I will add to this page from time to time........I intend to explain the reasons behind the purchase of the building, and to illustrate how we conserved and restored the house using traditional materials and techniques, as well as using reclaimed materials from salvage yards.

I will also discuss the conservation and restoration of our two and a half acres of land, to provide not only a haven to relax in, but also a productive site providing food managed in an organic way.

This was a view of the house looking toward the west. It doesn't look too delapidated, but was seriously susiding due to the close proximity of trees and neglect.





These photographs give an idea of the condition of the house, prior to the conservation and restoration work beginning.
