The work that Lance and I started three years ago (before the wedding) is now continuing...Our historic contractor, Mike Faust, and his small crew began dismantling the front porch today, saving as much of the original materials as possible. In the weeks to come, they will dig out under the floors on the first level, install radiant heat, and restore the porch to its original state--vinyl siding free! My job today was to dig up all my hydrangeas and perennials and replant them in a safe location. In the process, we have uncovered historic artifact #1: a "Farmer's Mutual Ins., Washington County" sign that was tacked to the porch. I guess I'll have some research to do about this company and its relationship to our house. We haven't found the bones of a Civil War soldier yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
