2302013, Removing the Brace

While waiting for decorative porch pieces to be matched, recreated, sanded and painted by artists Len Zeoli, Jim Christiansen and later John Lorang, grandson of Charles; while working on the Log cabin, Curio cabin and lower tier of the 1904 porch, the brace sat holding up the upper porch roof until 2013. In this photo it is finally being removed. On left: John Lorang, on right David Weston.
