" I -- I am very as a project architect and let's check in with his job all right. -- last time I looked here this used to be a display cabinet for silver right and what's happened while that's been -- at -- that we knew that it would do we see that we didn't expect to find it reasonable fabric to act concealed identities concealed well -- so this is the originally all original panel. The jams all panel -- original yes you can see here that we're putting in sprinkler system which is so large I think that's fine. It has to the other what items from the previous administration. -- Any sign or evidence that a previous exaggeration it's -- indicates that the staircase was on this I sat in front indication that is this step. Narrow passageway which meant the service to it came on behind. And interestingly -- and we took this. That the flooring that we realize that an original wings could board that was from the 1813 had been used as -- so that was recycled. Well we needed some paneling for the other room so we took that bullet and it would -- and there it is right here yes. This is a single board probably 24 inches across. A lot of that chance native Virginia pine it seen a lot of we're already in use it while we need to data and we went plywood -- apply probably in the fifties. Back here so we're reusing material that original to a house in another location. Now what do they -- here well. They're really good room. He inherited the battleship so what does he needed to do -- cabinets it's and it probably want to get more wall space mr. On this from so that they hang pictures and so they just veritable wall of experiences yet.

I'm using this on -- troops. -- Each room have one of these that takes an air sample at all times so that if there is -- room line. Isn't that incredible. So that technology. -- that the new technology is being mixed with the restoration room and of course the over door treatment exists here so we can just copy rights act like. Well we've always have to replicate all this millwork where if we just have to replicate the clintons what about the doors were they individuals who are original and in the process of being Woodruff and his it. What's this thing. Well that's of the day that was found in the attic. Coincidentally Bob plump with early lows by the -- got a plumber so this is early plumbing from the early eighteen hundred's problematic basin here made out of metal or horse after they moved everything out there. It was just found hidden. Obscure place. That those stories -- by his feet but here."
