The basements
Those who have seen our "basements" suspect the whole structure was built on dirt back in the 1840s or 50s. So in order to install modern mechanicals, we have to dig out what is currently a low crawl space. Many friends helped with this hard work (big ups to Olivia, Don, April, Tim, Joe, and Justin). We're now ready to pour concrete pads on which to put the boilers. Here are some "treasures" found doing this dirty and tough job. Behold. Thanks to those involved. We are forever grateful.

Sarah, looking through these photos (again) in March 2016. The religious figure you uncovered in the basement dig reminds
ReplyDeleteme that often Catholics bury St. Joseph figurines in their yard when they are trying to sell their home. Wondering if there is any connection there and it inspires me to bury one of his figures in my own yard as I try to sell my own home! All the best to you and yours and hope to talk soon. - catherine
