Summer Preservation Workshops: Stencilling July 14 & 15

We will be doing a series of summer workshops on a variety of topics with old house owner in mind.

The first of these workshops is on  Stenciling . The dates are July 14th and 15th. Classes will run from 12:30 to 2:30 and will cover a variety of topics including history and use of stencils (especially in the Victorian Era) how to place and use stencils as well as  the "hands on" part of the workshop where participants will get some hand on experience with how to actually use stencils. Materials are provided for the class.

Workshop cost is 35.00 and class size is limited to 8 per class so you need to register as soon as possible as we expect both sessions to sell out.

Burgman Building Updates: Kitchen removal and landscape restorations

It's been a while since we posted updates because we have just been too busy.  The latest big thing has been stencils in the hallway and we now are adjusting paint colors to get the correct shades, but soon we begin stenciling

Warmer weather has meant we can now work outside and we have been at it every chance we get. We have started uncovering the foundation of the old carriage barn and for now at least it will make a great patio.

We are also trying to get the beds in order and we have divided and transplanted  over 70 Hostas and hundreds of daylilies and tulips that were so tightly packed together they had little room to grow and we hope to finish excavation of the pond and stream and have it ready soon.

The "great wall o kitchen" is now history! The cabinets are gone and now we have some plaster repairs and painting to do but the rear showroom looks better and we gained a couple hundred square feet of  floor space.

Just a little over month until the Logansport Landmarks Preservation Pitch-in Picnic (May 22nd) and our open house/tour of work to date upstairs
