The third tour group came and went this weekend and it's been so satisfying for us to talk with people who are as excited as we are about the history of the property.  We end up on the receiving end of very interesting information about everything from history on the house to seedlings that are available for planting from other historic landmark sites.  This tour group was allowed to venture through the entire house and many of them took a souvenir shake and nail from the original roof.  We expect one more tour group from the Booth Tours and one visit from the Smithsonian before the end of the touring season.

Charlie finished the repair/replacement of the joists int he downstairs bathroom and is now ready to lay the flooring down.  He will use the bead board from the old kitchen as wainscotting for this bathroom and once the fixtures/vent/shower, etc. are in, we will begin the moving in process.  On with the work!!
