He hired a crane to remove the tree and it sprung back a little. This is an insurance job and the contractor that repaired the roof damage on his house told him this building would be a knock down/build new thing. He's not having that. He knows I do historic, creative, and/or challenging jobs and have saved a carriage house that had an 18" lean and a twist to it. That thing wanted to be laying on the ground and I brought 'er back. I'll save a structure if at all possible and that's what the owner wants.

I got up there, looked at that summer kitchen, multi-function switch replaced, and finished my heater control conversion. Then it was grill burgers and drink beer.
This poor old building. Mark had plans to fix it up and use it as a summer kitchen and I'm going to make that possible. It's ruff but I'll see it through. He grilled the burgers on the porch of it, yet. Plans are for a brick pizza oven, griddle, grille, whatever. He even has a N.O.S farm sink and faucet. It is an old plumbing supply house display
