May 2005 Restoration Update

 |
Marcus Brandt paying close attention to the details
of rebuilding the porch. |
February 2005 Restoration Update
 The new slate roof was completed February 2nd, 2005 - thanks to Alan Kunsman and his great roofing crew. Happy Groundhog Day! |
 The beautifully restored bell tower now rests on the newly slated roof. |
 The dilapidated old porch has been removed. |
 The new township park sign. |
October / November 2004 Restoration Update
Marcus needed a support beam while he is working
on the truss, so he... just goes into the woods and cuts down a tree
and wedges it up against the ceiling. This is what the pioneers did. |
 |
 |
The Sobrinski painters are still at it. Even in
their heavy jackets they continue to strip that paint. |
The schoolhouse is framed by beautiful fall colors. |
 |
 |
A new sign announcing our restoration project was
created by Banners and Signs in Bethlehem. |
August 2004 Restoration Update
 |
 |
Scaffolding in place for bell tower work. |
Stone walkway discovered under the porch. Meeting
minutes from the 1900's showed the expenses for building the porch. |
 |
At left, the copper and brass weathervane is removed
by Marcus Brandt so that he can repair the holes that were shot into
it long ago by mischievious kids. Karen Samuels is bravely perched on
the roof to take some up close photos. |
