Cameron recently contacted a preservation league and volunteered his drafting and construction skills. He immediately met with the director and was told that they could need all the help possible in the drafting, cleaning and restoration of an old house that was built in 1903. The house suffered a fire early this year and has been sitting empty ever since.
Cameron met with the architect and we are currently in the process of field measuring and putting the floor plans together. Last Saturday we took all the exterior measurements from the first floor; it was interesting and a learning experience. It was a pleasant evening and we had to use lots of bug spray otherwise it would have been impossible to stay focused.

The staircase is still in good shape:
The second floor still needs to be cleaned out:
