Markerville Photos

August 2021 brought us the basement floor poured by Marshall Construction. Cedar siding on the addition done by our intrepid volunteers fueled by Creamery ice cream!

June and July saw some trenching, basement work, windows and door in the side addition. A new roof with cedar shingles done by Cooper Roofing was begun.

In June 2021 we saw the addition of the porch and exterior stairs to newly poured foundation. Some preliminary work to basement done to get ready for the basement floor. Our volunteers had a good start to the summer work to be done.

The Buttermaker House is almost ready for exterior paint!

We are beginning Phase 2 of the restoration. Our amazing volunteers worked hard this weekend to build the porch addition. Well, sometimes we allowed them to have coffee & something to eat.
This week, Cooper Roofing will be removing the asphalt shingles & replacing with cedar shakes. We’ll share those photos when they begin.

This week, it was time to move the Buttermaker’s House back into place.
This was a very stressful time for me but thanks to Warkentin Building Movers. She’s home!
We’re planning to tackle the roof (Phase 2) in the spring. We’ll keep you posted on any new developments.

Another busy week for the little house!
Footing forms were built & poured, foundation wall forms were built & poured. Thanks to Marshall Construction.

The Marshall Brothers began to build the forms and pour the cement for the house footings.
Doesn’t the Buttermaker House look cold & lonely waiting for its return home?

After our project was moved safely, Brian McKnight performed the job of removing the old foundation in preparation for the new one to be built.

Last week was a very busy week for the little house!
Thanks to Warkentin Building Movers for carefully moving the house!
