Hello world! Starting off on this new platform seems quite daunting, but here's hoping to recreating a new little circle of those who appreciate old houses.

If it is the last thing I do, we will get one of these for the Colony of Avalon in Ferryland, NL 😍
This is one of my favorite, low-tech, ways of visualizing the past! Doesn't oversell the reconstruction, shows possible past and present in same view, works, rain or shine and without power.
An interesting way to help people visualize what a ruin used to be.

Over the next little while, I'll be posting some of the #restoration content that I was proudly building over on Twitter for the last 7 years.
Let's start with April 2024.
Out with plastic, in with wood!

While reading Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, this quote leapt off the page at me. Though she is speaking about the use of DDT and pesticides, I can't help but see how this applies to architecture, built heritage, and place making.

Cutting (my first ever) mortise and tenon joint in this 6x6 post for the cooperage rebuild. Now that it's in place, you can't even see it (🥲). But I'll know it's there, and that pleases me immensely.
Just one more way that I'm adding a splash of old soul into this new build.
