ONLINE JOURNAL
These journal entries track our progress as we undertake our adventure of restoring this very old home. The main reason for keeping this journal on the web is that we have found that there are very few resources (books or websites) that follow all of the trials and tribulations of restoring an old home...from start to finish.

The dock crew had to do some bank clearing to make a place to roll the pilings into the water. The result is actually great and gives us a better feel for how the shoreline will look once our own clearing is done. Spoke with the neighbors across the creek who like the improvements to their view. They said they never even realized the cemetery was there...but now they can see it through one of the areas that has been cleared.
My brother is going to Enon Hall tomorrow to coordinate getting proposals from some contrators for bulldozing out some vegetation that is too big for us to handle, as well as cutting down some dead trees...including one that is leaning dangerously over the old smokehouse. -- Bill
