801 Homestead Street
Undertook major renovation of a dilapidated 1877 frame house and established an organic garden on the 1/3 acre estate that had been created by purchasing two adjacent lots. Removed plaster and lathe interior walls; weather-proofed house with storm windows, insulation and caulking; re-painted interior of the house; installed new wiring, etc.
Removed large quantities of trash and debris from the garden - much of which was buried in the garden - and set about restoring the garden, adding compost heaps and collecting many, many bags of leaves each fall to create a large collection of leaf mold to enhance the condition of the garden.
