Re: Dormer project

Just a little work on it today due to our district meeting and strong storm. I did take out the windows and covered the holes. Tomorrow I might work on them depending on the weather. http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr281/mattswabb/West%20ave/A4F68FB3-71A4-43C2-B067-90B31CA142DB_zpsfwmysmxt.jpg

Re: Help me save my historic district

I'm not sure how it was done back then. I know that many of the homeowners have since left and new people have moved in. They are only looking to remove properties.
