Welcome to this serialized account of our discovery and restoration of our home in Conway.

This series was published to show in words and pictures the work we did on our home.

Our library of photographs is spotty; few if any photographs were taken during many periods of our most intense labors,

and many of those were are not of the highest quality.

Nonetheless, for those of you who have expressed interest, and for others who might know us a little better through our 30-year labor of love, we offer this series.
