Corner House Restoration Project 2002


        Welcome to the Corner House restoration page.  The project is to remove all the exterior
    walls and windows and replace them with new foam insulated wall panels and smaller double
    hung windows.  The actual tearing down and rebuilding began Monday, May 13th and will
    continue for several weeks.  Check back often as we will be posting updates as the project
    progresses.

Wednesday, May 15
                Work continues around the back of the house.  So far the project is moving along with out any major hangups.
            As Rick Reha puts it, however, you just don't realize how big a project it is until you get going.  A lot of hard work
            is going into this project.  Thanks guys!

                Work progresses around the back to the west side of the house.  Sore muscles and tired bodies are the name
            of the game, but everyone keeps working hard.
