1968 Serro Scotty Custom Restoration.
This trailer is currently under restorations. Client wanted to basically keep the original interior layout, but in a little more efficient design. Such as the floor to roof closet instead of the original half cabinet that was to be in the same location. This was a total frame off restoration.
Eda church is located in Eda in Eda municipality near the Norwegian border. The church belongs to the Eda church in Karlstads stift.
Former wooden church.
About 300 meters south of the present church there was a wooden church that was possibly built in the Middle Ages. According to archival material in 1666, a church tower was replaced by an independent bell tower. At the old church square, a memorial cross was restored in 1845.
Current stone church.
The present church in Karl Johan style has a body of stone consisting of a long house with an expanded, half-round absid in the east where the sacristian is inhabited. At the west side of the long house there is a church tower with entrance. Further entrances are located in the middle of the north and south sides of the longhouse.
Access and refurbishments.
The church was built in 1835-1839 according to drawings by architect Per Axel Nyström and was opened in 1841 by Bishop Carl Adolph Agardh. Already in 1845 the slate roof was laid. In the years 1882-1883 a renovation was carried out when the floor of the church hall was redeveloped and new benches were added. Since there was a need for heating, a large fireplace was installed. The walls were rapped inside and outside. A stone wall was set around the church.
Restorations in the 20th century.
In 1904, the church was affected by a fire caused by the overheating of the brick wall at Sacristian. No information is available about any damage. In the years 1921-1922 drainage work was carried out. It was then possible to build a new boiler room and install central heating with low pressure steam. At the beginning of the 1940s, the entire floor of the church was laid and new benches were obtained. The benches were made shorter than the old ones to accommodate sideways. In 1955, oil fired and a new boiler was installed. In the years 1957-1958, a rebuilding program was carried out by the architects Einar Lundberg and Ragnar Jonsson. In the southern part of the choir a dump site was set up and a former medieval dot was introduced. Benches were removed to make the choir bigger. The altar kit was moved forward and the pulpit was lowered. October 26, 1958, the church was reinvented. A renovation was carried out in 1967 under the guidance of architect Jerk Alton when the facades were refurbished, the ceiling was insulated and the abside was refurbished with plate roofs. In 1979, a fire broke out in the boiler room when the sacristian was completely burned out and the altar cross was hit by serious damage. A new restoration was conducted under the leadership of Jerk Alton, and the church hall received its current character. A new textile room and storage room was established behind the choir.

Showing restoration of the corner rexine panels on which the white paint had crazed and cracked. I removed the paint with hand tools and not a chemical remover to save damage to the Rexine. I thought they were metal panels until I delved into them. It took a few hours to remove the paint but was safer and worth the effort. Now primed and waiting a top coat of old english white

Footman James Bristol Classic Restoration Show, Royal Bath & West Showground, Saturday 3rd November 2018
A friend posted this photo of himself and Ethel Merman and I decided to try restoring it. Sure came out a LOT better than I expected.
On September 20, 2017, Edna Lockwood's existing topsides were lifted by crane to sit atop her new hull so shipwrights can begin to marry the two pieces and continue her historic restoration.
History
Restoration House was originally two medieval buildings (1454 and 1502–22) with a space between.
They were joined together in 1640-1660 (tree ring data from roof) by inserting a third building between the two, to create a larger house.
The first owner of the completed house was Henry Clerke, a lawyer and Rochester MP. Clerke caused further works in 1670, the refacing of the entrance facade, the Great Staircase and other internal works.
The house was then bought by William Bockenham. It was owned by Stephen T. Aveling in the late 19th century, and he wrote a history of the house which was published in Vol. 15 of "Archaeologia Cantiana".
The house was purchased for £270,000[7] by the English entertainer Rod Hull, in 1986, to save it from being turned into a car park; and he then spent another £500,000 restoring it.
It was taken by the Receiver in 1994 to cover an unpaid tax bill.
The current owners over the past decade have uncovered decoration schemes from the mid 17th century, which reveal the fashionable taste of the period, much influenced by the fashions on the continent.
Charles Dickens
According to the biographer John Forster, the novelist Charles Dickens, who lived nearby, used Restoration House as a model for Miss Havisham's Satis House in Great Expectations; the name "Satis House" belongs to the house where Rochester MP, Sir Richard Watts, entertained Queen Elizabeth I - it is now the administrative office of King's School, Rochester.
As almost all of the photos I am restoring for myself and family are black and white and my current video training has me working with color, I am restoring family photos for my best friend for now. This is the before scan.
The 1889 log-bottom Chesapeake bugeye Edna E. Lockwood's loblolly pines logs have been secured after a two year search, thanks to a very generous donation by Paul M. Jones Lumber Co. of Snow Hill, Md.
On the morning of March 5, 2016, delivery of the loblolly pine logs needed for the restoration of the nine-log bottom hull of the 1889 bugeye Edna E. Lockwood— the last historic log-bottomed bugeye still under sail—took place at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.
With transportation costs of the logs generously underwritten by individual donors, the pine logs are being trucked to St. Michaels, and will be submerged in the Miles River for preservation until the restoration project continues later this year.
Johnson Lumber of Easton, Md. is delivering 16 logs—allowing overages if needed for the project—with the logs averaging 55-feet in length, and a 10-foot circumference.

Just a quickie restoration here. Adjusted it in levels. Used the color picker to select what I thought was the original color of her hair, skin & dress. I then hand tinted each to remove bluish tint. Of course I used the healing brush to remove most of the spots/splotches & the blur tool set to 25% where I thought I needed it on her face.
I spent about 15 minutes on it.
