This is what the house looks like when all the plaster is gone-- all ten tons
of it. Found some interesting things in the walls-- two worn shoes over a window, old books and lots of pinecones. Indepenedently a friend told me that they would do this to keep the evil spirits out, so I put the shoes back.
And for those of you who see a ghostly image in this or other pictures, there's just a lot of dust floating around.
