2024 Completed Projects

During 2024 several projects were completed.
1. Install new custom ordered oak flooring in the back rooms (dining room and kitchen)
2. Construct a new outdoor kiosk
3. Replace missing floor boards in the original parlor.

1. Install New Oak Flooring
Replaced the floors in two rooms of the house with period appropriate antique white oak random width flooring. These two rooms now match the character of the original flooring in the front rooms of the core of the stone house. Flooring throughout the house will be sanded and finished nearing the end of the overall project but the installation now allows us to rebuild some missing 19th century partitions in the kitchen area. Once the partition walls are reconstructed, the wooden baseboards will be reinstalled. Below photos show new oak flooring in dining room (left photo) and kitchen (right photo)

2. Construct a new outdoor kiosk
Thanks to Jim Noon for building and installing a new outdoor kiosk to be used by Barnard Station and Pocopson Township.

 

 

 

 

 

3. Replace missing floorboards in original parlor
The flooring repairs where the 20th century air ducts were once located has been completed. Part of the difficulty of the job was to get the original materials out and cut without damage. Two corners of the room had to be repaired including the old closet and the opposite corner where the duct work was enclosed in a wall. Below are images of one corner showing before, in-progress and completed photos. For a detailed description and photos of the project click here: Parlor Floor Project
