We made it a two-part strike this week. Janelle (and steady helper Grace) worked on uncovering the north wall. We have fully revealed the windows, and exposed the brick on this side. Looks like a lot of tuckpointing to me.
No cool handwriting on the wall this week, but we did find a cool furry critter in the rafters…
Meanwhile, in the basement, Kevin kept cutting out old bent beams, and replacing with new shiny ones. The old beams seem, well, tired. While they are more solid than anything I’ve ever tried to lift, they have a bit of a sag to them.
A little clean-up was in order as well down there. The old oil stove….
Revealed another stove underneath it, and about 30 years of ash, but nothing more interesting than that.
Except……this. This is the drawer out of the front of the furnace. I expected it to say something ‘furnace’ like. But what does that say? Ford? Hmm. Interesting! I welcome guesses and educated opinions how Ford parts made up part of the furnace.
