as the painting project is almost complete.We are looking for help with our water heater in the basement.It exploded on us a while back and we are
looking for funds to purchase and install another one.The hood for our blacksmith forge is almost
is in its final stage of completion and will be installed shortly.A recent Eagle Scout project in the
blacksmith barn has been completed.The
entire ceiling of the barn was painted and we will be installing a new lighting
