Description  

In 2008, participants will be working on several features of the main house. The most crucial element is rebuilding the roof, which involves log framing and grass thatch covered with a clay mixture. They will also be doing stone masonry work to stabilize the walls, which will then be tuck-pointed with clay mortar. A detailed work plan has been developed by Ed Crocker, an earthen architecture expert from Santa Fe, New Mexico, who will be on-site for one day to work with participants, discuss materials conservation issues, and answer questions. Dale Bentley, of Preservation North Dakota, will lead the project.
