Our Second Work Day - September 15, 2001

Now that the electricity was on, and in preparation for our Open House on Saturday, September 22, 2001, we conducted our second general work day. We focused on the outside (once again) and on the second floor of the Haines House. . .	Here we see Beth Gray and Pat Sacha working on the hall stairways (Just what is Beth measuring?) .
Ginny Daniel, who organized our first public display at Carnation Days in the Park, displays a sunny attitude while digging and edging around the front sidewalks. .	Evelyn Brown, Society Vice President and one of the founding members of the Haines House group, got busy upstairs in the Grant Bedroom. .
Annette Greenwald, President of the City's Historic Preservation Commission brought her daughter along and pitched in with Haines House Board member Jennifer Crist to help clean up the yard. There was no shortage of stuff to do. .	. When they got outside, Beth & Pat went scrounging and found the old well cover which had been missing the backyard. Beth proved quite resourceful later and helped secure valuable flagstone for later use in the yard, as well. .
This building, an old plumbing supply store, sits immediately behind the Haines House and is scheduled to be demolished by the City in this Fall. The Society hopes to acquire the land. That will make TWO tenths of an acre out of the original 126 acres the Haines House once stood on. .
