Good morning everyone, it is a beautiful spring day and I wish I could spend the day at home in my beautiful house! But work calls..

I wanted to share just a few pictures. Ed has completely finished the main framework for the greenhouse and it is painted except for the lighter color on the walls and the door.  He has estimated what we need to start the actual roofing and walls and we are soon to order.  Here is a picture of the structure...



And inside, to show some of the new framing he had to fashion... you can see on far left that the holes left by the removed barrels have but all been replenished and filled...




Another closer shot. On the left over the new roof is the new gutter and downspout Ed installed. It is just so much better than it was, it is really all brand new!





WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OLD HOUSES START TO GO AWAY.....


Wanted to share a picture of a simply regal and gorgeous brick Federal Center Hall Colonial just  several miles from my house in nearby Assunpink WMA, Roosevelt NJ.  This gorgeous house always has the old sway back doggie on the front porch. Shame the owners have not the money or the inclination to fix it as it could be simply beautiful. Right now, the chimney stacks are crumbling and the house is in need of having it's windows repainted, or reglazed, and a good powerwash among other things. Also, the roof needs to be redone.

I wonder what inside looks like?  Right now, this house has all the earmarks for a great Halloween party especially with the overgrown trees and all...

Hi,

I love this old house in Assunpink but haven't worked up the nerve to take pictures yet. I grew up in north Jersey but have been living a little north of Cox's Corner for the past six and a half years, and have fallen in love with the area and its history. I'm enjoying your blog a lot. Thanks for posting! :)
