12) Meet with carpenter/contractor - August 30, 2000
Inspect and discuss critical maintenance work needed to prevent further water damage on building exterior with Ed Kostak of New Hartford.
Squires Tavern - spots needing repair.
The photos below (taken in November 2000) show exterior problem spots BEFORE repair work has been done. These areas have been identified as critical repair priorities needed to stop further water damage and rot, and as one of the steps needed to prepare the building for painting.

Rotted trim on the front (west side) of the building.

Covered hole in the clapboard siding on the south wall of the building, covered temporarily with a piece of aluminum.

The bottom half of this east wall is rotten, including the clapboards, most of the studs and much of the sill.
