Window Shutters
Here is a sample of what the window shutters will look like.
Franz (our carpenter) holding one of the sample shutters at the Westhold workshop.
One of the shutters installed. Primed gray only. Colors have not yet been selected.
The shutter operation is shown here. These shutters are being tested for proper fit in the openings.

The Plan
Here you can see the existing condition. This plaster was applied over the wood beams (fachwerk) at some point during the history of the house. The goal is to restore the house back to its original condition.
With the plaster removed you can see the stone foundation and the historic fachwerk.
Here is a picture of what we envision the plaster to look like at completion. Of course our fachwerk will not look as straight, but that is what adds the character!
Here is a more realistic version of what the house could look like when completed. Note the fachwork character.
