So this is supposed to be a really warm weekend. For granted right now it is 10:30 am and 67 degrees but it looked like rain earlier!  

Last weekend, Ed and Josh's brother Mark worked very hard in demo'ing the bad parts of the greenhouse and getting the vines all torn down. They were growing through the floor and up through the roof We still have a bench from hell to get rid of. They burned some old wood.  We also installed the chandelier the weekend before and I also have pictures of that.

Dining room table shows the modern white fan uninstalled as well as the new chandelier.





Here is the rockert scientist wiring the new chandelier.




We moved the chandelier over considerably from where the fan resided on the ceiling.



Here is the finished project. Just really needs a coat of paint over the spackle job.




I had Ed install a thumbswitch in line switch for now. It is not wired yet to a light switch. One thing this house lacks is electrical outlets and switches!

Below is the greenhouse after Ed and Mark shored it up and cleaned off the roof and insides of all vines.



The old door.  I think Ed wants the whole outside of the structure painted red with the insides light or white.



The inside of the structure now.  We aquired some old paving stones a friend from work gave Ed, we are recycling them and using them as the flooring in the greenhouse.



This bench still has to be demolished and after the roof beams are fixed, I can do the flooring.



Wow, this is weird. We were digging up stones from the yard and Ed found one and started to dig. When he upturned it, it was this pedestal below!  It had inverted and been completely buried! I am curious if it is Victorian or just 20th century. When I scrub it I can tell if it is cement or marble. In any case, I will be adding an urn or something to it and using it!
