Once the project was approved a team of volunteers
began work. Their efforts will reduce
the cost of the project by a
considerable amount. In order to prepare for the new
construction much
old material had to be removed.
After first covering the floors to be saved, the remaining floors had to be
torn up
and thousands of nails removed. Many of the old
plaster and wallboard walls had to be removed and the lathing behind
them torn out.
Some ceilings also had to be
treated in the same manner.
The back porch had to be removed and
the screen on the existing porch had to be
removed. Of course all appliances, tubs, toilets,
counters and the like
had to be removed.
Some of this was dirty, dusty
and back breaking work but the crew worked joyfully. From time
to time new pictures not use in the construction updates will be added
to this page. Check back often!
