Scarritt Home Renovation Completed

 

Two and a half years worth of work is finished.  The craftsmanship is amazing.  Here is a link to an update I did earlier.   https://hyperblogal.blogspot.com/2021/06/update-on-bishop-hendrix-home-annie.html

Here are some before and after photos.  The home had been subdivided into apartments.
