Hutchings Farmhouse getting some much needed TLC
Damaged siding is replaced and the whole house will get a fresh coat of yellow paint!
We look forward to welcoming visitors again through the front porch entrance! The porch is being rebuilt, with new concrete footings to prevent issues with rot.
The crumbling kitchen foundation is made of brick laid directly on the soil. New concrete, set below the frost line, will ensure a stable foundation for years to come!
No one is nostalgic for lead water lines. The water and sewer lines, which extend out to Waukegan Road, are being replaced.
