Roof improvements continue. The old roofing material has been completely removed. Workers are laying a plywood base on which the composition roofing material will be applied. The next phase will include preparing the house for painting.

Scaffold surrounds the old Victorian and the beautiful stained glass is carefully covered protecting from flying debris.Tethered to safety lines and perched precariously on the high pitch roof workers remove over 100 years of roofing material. The project continues making good progress and on schedule.

Re-roofing and painting of the historic Faulkner House required staff to pack and move into a temporary office trailer located on site near the Briggs Rd. main entrance. Repairs officially started on Monday, May 20^th and are expected to take 90 days. The move was successful and the transition did not interrupt spring programming—4H Farm Field trips continued without a hitch thanks to adaptable staff and volunteers.

We will continue photographing and posting the progress of this project.
