What are you DOING???

We have been answering that question a lot this summer. If you have been by the studio, you have probably noticed what amounts to basically a mess at the back of our corner building. What most people didn't know was that we have been tearing down the back section, starting with the inside. This summer it was time for the roof and walls to go!
We have been told that the back section was actually an old farm building brought in to town, probably 100 years ago. What we found out during the de-construction phase was that it was basically set beside the exsisting building and tied in with the flashing and siding. More importantly, it was not set on a real foundation. Of course, over the period of 100 years four wooden beams are going to rot, the soil will move and erode, creating an unstable contruction, to say the least.
The good news is - it is gone! We are now in the process of filling in the holes, re-siding the back, and figuring out how to finish up the open ground.
