Restoration site in Mexico. CONAFOR (Comisión Nacional Forestal) provides incentives and materials (such as seedlings) to promote restoration.
Initiative 20x20 is a country-led effort to change the dynamics of land degradation in Latin America and the Caribbean. Countries, financial partners, and technical partners have set the goal of bringing 20 million hectares of degraded land in the region into restoration by 2020.

I wonder if this is the same type of foam filler that was used in Lonely Lisa dolls and turns to dust after a while. The foam was in good condition and regained it's shape with a little warm water soak.
Around 1999-2000, portions of the car were disassembled so repairs could be me made to the metal structure.

Here is my classic grinder after its restoration. The old paint was stripped off and colors close to original were applied. All the small metal parts were polished for several days in a vibratory tumbler. I took the photo-strobes into the garage shop and really like the result of the monocromatic shading of the tool in the environment.

The Sea Queen with its accompanying Figure in the water has come out for a complete overhaul and restoration after nearly 20 years
La Source by Louis Sauvageau, 1862, graces the entranceway. Thetis was the Greek goddess of water and the sea.
Restoration Hardware opened its opulent Gold Coast outlet at 1300 N. Dearborn Pkwy. in October 2015. The former Three Arts Club was completed in 1914. The 70,000 square-foot stores features a roof-top deck, restaurant, bar and coffee bar.
St Mary, Higham St Mary, Suffolk
Ooh, but Higham's posh. If I can ever afford to live here, you won't find me cycling around lonely lanes visiting medieval churches. No sir. I'll have my feet up on a large settle, and I'll be eating truffles and pate de fois gras, and drinking champagne to the sound of trumpets. Until then, visiting St Mary is probably as close as I'm going to get to the high life.
St Mary is not a big church; however, its restoration has left it cavernous, and it seems big inside. A long north aisle lies on the village side, and you step down into it from the north porch, a simple affair. It contains a memorial to Robert Hoy, who died at the age of 10 in 1811. It is charged with the sentimental piety one expects of the time. The artist was Charles Regnart, and Mortlock thought it not his best, pointing out that the awkwardly posed woman clasps an urn which she seems to have caught just in time; which rather endeared it to me, actually.
The churches in this part of Suffolk were, for the most part, enthusiastically scoured by the Victorians. Sometimes, the results were good; I think particularly of Great Wenham and Layham, where low-church restorations left us with fine, bright, neat interiors. It is harder to do this with a big church, and something similar was tried on a grander scale at East Bergholt, which is now rather gloomy, I'm afraid; but to be fair, Bergholt had already been seriously distressed by the Anglicans and Puritans in the 16th and 17th centuries. The other wing of the 19th century church was brought to bear at Stratford St Mary, which is internally indistinguishable from a thousand Tractarian temples from Coventry to Calcutta. Higham also underwent a Tractarian remodelling, and it was of good quality, as you'd expect for the clientèle. The chancel is a gorgeous confection of 1880s Anglo-catholic piety. It must have cost an absolute fortune - but then, they could probably afford it. The elaborate reredos is tiled in the manner of the 19th century churches of North London that Betjeman loved so much, and the high roof allows it to be full of light, otherwise it would be overpowering.
Indeed, the high chancel arch, a Victorian replacement in wood, saves this church from aesthetic suicide. It gives scale to the east end, and allows the nave to retain something of its former barn-like quality, despite the heavy 19th century furnishings. It gives proper scale to the stained glass, much of which is good, and I particularly liked Faith and Charity by Powell and Sons. This is as good as their early 20th Century glass gets, and there are earlier survivals - note the beautiful carvings on the capitals of the arcade, and the stone corbels beneath the roof also look medieval. Well, Mortlock thinks so, anyway.
Mortlock also indicated to me what appears, at first, to be a second font, but is in fact almost certainly an ancient holy water stoup, from the lost days of Catholic England. He wondered if it had come from the now-demolished south porch. It might seem awkward to us today that the main entrance of this church was once on the other side, but it is a good reminder that, however old the villages of Suffolk look, they are never as old as their parish churches, turned as they once were towards long-vanished communities.

Restoration begins in a Los Gatos, California orchard. Some liberties have been taken with the historical appearance of the locomotive. The headlight came from CSF&E 2-6-6-2 #7 (Trojan), the sandbox and whistle from CSF&E 2-6-2ST #3 (Smilax) and the smokebox from a CSF&E shay. First fired up on Dec. 23 1956. Later "Elk" was sold to Hal Wilminder of Sacramento and is now owned by his son Les. "Elk" has appeared in two Sacramento Railfairs. From the James Armstrong collection, which was donated to the Mid-Pacific Railroad Library by his widow.
My wife's high school graduation picture from 1974. Color prints from this particular few years used dyes which have a terrible tendancy to fade. This is my attempt at restoration.

I attempted (and failed) to get a good picture of the house. One that accurately shows off the nice architecture and design. Meh, all I can focus on are the neighbors crappy cars parked in front of my house.
The mill has been undergoing a thorough restoration this summer. I took this on Sept 27 and the mill was due to receive its outer wing in November and be finished before the end of 2008. Because of the wet fields surrounding the mill, and the danger of heavy machinery sinking into the mud, I won't get my wings until the spring. Bummer city, I'll be going through withdrawal symptoms this winter.
