Next on the list for restoration and reuse. The old loft will become a multi-purpose workshop. The lower lever, typical farm use for tractors, tools and a small welding shop. The back side of the barn on both levels of the extension to the original building, will be opened for use as outdoor work decks and lounge areas.

You may recall seeing the photograph of the ramshackled room below in an earlier posting. Things have changed. Although unfinished details remain, it's clear we've made substantial progress, and have been successful in our attempts to rescue the old Farthing Shack. The entire team is pleased, and everyone involved deserve high praise for what they've done. However, there can be no question, none of this would have been possible without the generous, caring efforts of W. Ellis & J.T. Galloway. It has to be said: good design doesn't have a chance without skilled, dedicated craftsmanship. My hat's off to you both!
