Finally concrete in the basement at HB!!!!

Same room, a few weeks apart. We've come a long way!

Progress at Hilary Baker

The window covered in plywood with its fancy window dressings is rather poignant, don't you think?

The access at Hilary Baker and 3 completely restored windows on the third floor. 

The scaffold at the rear is used by the masons to repoint the chimney. The chimneys were relined for wood fire use.

The basement is truly coming together. We hope to pour the concrete slab next week, which will require a pizza party for us.

Work and relaxing afterward

Interior basement weatherproofing

The basement at the Hilary Baker house in Church Hill. The large open hearth in the next room (shown here temporarily supported with wood) is being restored to be a functional fireplace again. The floor will get a new slab and in-floor heating. We've been down in this basement for a week or two trying to take care of all details that go under the new concrete slab. There has been lots of digging through clay and river rock, and a few cool things found. An archaeologist is sifting through all of the dirt that's coming out of the basement to look for treasure, and has found some old pottery and bottles.
