Who ARE these people?

News of our purchase of Greenwreath has spread through Greenville like wildfire.  Some have expressed concern that we may not have realized or understood what we have gotten ourselves into.  To those people, all we can say is that we fully appreciate the historic significance of the house, but we also understand that we bought a 200-year-old house that needs a lot of work.  While we want to ensure that our renovations stay true to Greenwreath’s character, we also want to make sure that the house and its structure have enough integrity to withstand another 200 years.

We moved to this house from England, where Garreth is from, and where he restored a house from the 1930s over a 5-year period.  I moved over during the last year of his renovations, so together, we gained a good understanding of how to tackle various aspects of home restoration under a tight budget.  My background and profession is in archaeology and artifact conservation, so I have a deep-rooted appreciation for history and its preservation.  Between us, we feel that we are well-suited to take on the responsibility of restoring and caring for Greenwreath and seeing that she is preserved for future generations.

The oldest outbuilding, which we also plan to renovate.
