Days Ferry Barn

After many years of shifting grounds and natural settling the South side of this historic barn had given way to rot and decay to the structural sill and sheathing boards. After pulling the earth away from the building jacks were used to carefully lift the weathered end. The sheathing boards were cut back to allow room for a new locally milled hemlock timber to be slid back into place of the rotten sill. Once set back down on it's new sill the rest of the barn was given a fresh roof and wood clapboard siding in hopes of keeping it going for another few hundred years of dependable service.

Kennebec Point 
Bunk House

Like most classic New England homes this estate on Kennebec Point has been added on to as it was passed down through generations. Now it is a wonderful collection of ells and barns that stretch well across the grounds overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The final building and connector to the barn had at one point in time been set on stone piers that had slowly settled into the earth and was causing the underpinnings to decay. Morse & Doak was called in to turn these two buildings into a summer bunk house for the grandchildren, which started with shoring up the foundation and repairing or replacing the rotting sills.
