The Attic Adventure

Our Attic Floor Project began on Saturday, April 22nd at the ambitious time of 8:30 am. The Attic Floor Project encompassed many firsts for JBHF. It was our first completed interior conservation project, our first volunteer workshop, and our first “Family Meal.” Another great thing about ‘firsts’ is that they provide great opportunities for reflection.
