The Tully garage that was damaged by a fallen tree on September 25-26 has been repaired. Thank you to A1Limitless Construction for repairing the slate roof - especially thank you for your patience in working with Newton slate from the 1800's which is very brittle.

What a difference a week makes! September 19th was a beautiful fall day for our annual Sussex County History Day. September 26th found us dealing with the large pine tree at the entrance to the Old Newton Burial Ground lying on top of the garage where we keep the zero-turn mower and our other equipment. Today the tree is gone, but we have a slate roof to repair. We would love any suggestions for slate roof repairmen. Thank you.
