The structure is down & they are working on removing the large sandstone from the foundation; some of the stone are really humongous! We set aside some of the large beams (about 8” square and quite long) and are saving the stone. Some of the stone will be used for the retaining wall along one side at the back. Hopefully, we can save part of a beam for the fireplace mantel. I also had them save the porch posts and hope to use them as garden sculpture somewhere in my flower beds…
