LET THERE BE LIGHT!

My  art studio's future location is in a cozy and somewhat secluded space on the third floor here on Hawthorne avenue.  A small 1/2 round window faces the front of the house (east).

Currently the original window is missing so, sticking my head out the opening, I catch a closeup glimpse of  shingling and dental molding.

To the west is the entrance, a small door with old textured glass side lights.

The space is sufficient but the natural light is poor.

Since the roof required significant repair over the studio area we have just added 2 skylights.

LET THERE BE LIGHT! 

LET THE ROOFING BEGIN

 The roofers we've hired have made it through one RAINY week in Virginia.  Forecasters say we are in for a stretch of sun.  Hope so.

MY CHIMNEYS ARE NO MORE

Brick by brick my chimneys have come down.  As of today they are no more.

I have preserved as many bricks as possible to use in the new construction.  If there are not enough for the job then I will have one beautiful patio!
