We just wanted to start off this post by saying THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to our GoFundMe page! You've helped us get a little bit closer to making our dream of restoring Jameswood a reality! As we said before, we will be including the names of everyone who has donated to the project somewhere in our house! If you are interested in supporting the Jameswood Restoration, you can visit gofundme.com/whathavewedunoon We are blown away by the incredibly kind messages of support we receive from all over the world. Thank you SO much. To catch up on the progress we had made before May, you can check out progress report #1 and #2 here!
PROGRESS REPORT #3: May - June, 2019 Last time I posted, we had just gotten the hang of putting up scaffolding, and were about to start to making our way around the building with it. But first, we had to move the caravan. It was at the front of the house, which wasn't ideal for traffic noise, privacy and safety (it was sitting in front of our partially collapsed wall!), but it would also get in the way of the scaffolding braces. Our neighbour has a 4 by 4 pickup truck, and he kindly offered to lend a hand. He moved the caravan from our original driveway, around to the new driveway we had recently made for receiving scaffolding.

We've had a lot of questions from subscribers and followers about how people can support the project. For those of you who would like to, we've set up a gofundme page, so that you can assist us in seeing through our dream of restoring Jameswood! Our goal is to carry out the project to a high standard and to do so in an environmentally friendly way - so that Jameswood can last another 130 years and have a low impact on our planet while being here! We hope this page can help us achieve this goal. If you do wish to donate, PLEASE leave your name, or your family's name, so that we can include it somewhere in the house when the project is completed! THANK YOU again, to EVERYONE who has shown us support, as we restore Jameswood Villa! We can not explain to you how much it means to us to have you cheering us on! |
