We were at it again this weekend opening up the living area ceilings. Last week the ceiling material came down and this week the wood that was not structural came down. We worked together all day and by days end got a glimpse of how the ceilings will look all opened up. It really creates an illusion of a much larger room.

While in the attic area we came across some of the original "Tabby". This was a stucco of sorts made from sand, lime, and sea shells for the aggregate. It was applied over wood lath strips as a durable exterior surface. There were only a few small remnants of the Tabby, so we took this photo and carefully removed it to possibly frame in a shadow box one day.

The day was capped off with a walk to the beach just before sunset
