As the remodel progresses, I'm thrilled to share a remarkable find that brings new insight - a vintage 1917 magazine from New York's Home Journal, discussing crucial topics like wartime efforts with Germany and the significance of home gardens, along with an intriguing cleaning tip involving gold dust.

This was a fun and challenging project.

While there is clearly a natural beauty to the stone, these walls should last much longer than the creosote timbers and they won’t leach chemicals into the ground water or garden soil. (I wouldn’t recommend building garden beds with railroad ties by the way, come to think of it, I wouldn’t recommend building anything with railroad ties)

Anyone care to guess how many lbs of stone this took?

Sneak peak at the next remodel Brandie and I are taking on in Galena. This home was originally built around 1900. We will likely save the historic trims on the gables and hope to save some of the original siding, floors and possibly a few lath and plaster walls. Overall it will be a nearly complete rebuild, all new plumbing, electric. and addition of kitchen off the backside of the house.
