I cannot remember where I started this week, or if there was a start. Just a few snapshots of the wall moving up. I have had some wonderful help as of late and have put them to taking bricks off the kitchen addition, demo, and moving stone. I have found myself improving (a little) at my stone work. Just a lot of stepping back to observe. Half the job is just looking. The last two pictures is bringing the stone wall back into the kitchen. I suppose this is the end to another week. Here's to another ahead!
The 1850 Octagon House is not quite complete and already Jim and Sam are on to a new project, restoring an 1857 stone house to save it from demolition. Sam will take the lead on this project as Jim is old and worn out. Jim will still provide advice and encouragement when needed and maybe a little help, but this will be a test of all Sam has learned in the last four octagon years. Here we go again!
