DW mowed the front pasture a few days ago, and as he drove around and around (bored), he checked out progress on building repairs. Each time he climbed the hill and turned past the house, he'd take a close look. After about 5 circumnavigations of the pasture, he realized something. Each end of our 1923 farmhouse has 5 corbels, those decorative wood pieces that hold up the roof overhang. But the garage only has 3.
We're adding a belly band and decorative molding to the garage, then John will add shingles to match the pattern on the house. But it needs those missing corbels. Before he left at the end of the day, John rummaged through the used lumber in the barn, found what he needed, and built four corbels.
They went up today, and they make all the difference.
