Details for small buildings

                                                    roof nailing



Not much room for living in the Attic but it had a fireplace.

Hopefully we will get this finalized when the archaeologists provide a finished floor elevation! It is a difficult job putting together a building which will be visited by the public. The reconstruction of this building is more than kitchen, it must meet all modern codes  and the Commonwealth of Virginia. It truly is a collaboration. Everything is a reflection of the workmen who toiled of old. Modern workers not only work to meet the coming deadline of winter but to employ the  use of tools and techniques our ancestors used to build the original kitchen.
