The Porch: Ongoing Themes/Issues

Part of an historic restoration project in a small community involves the “peanut gallery,” passersby comment.  Literally, 20 percent of our paid hourly wage was spent with our workers talking to people walking by.  Some even took the workers off our job to their own house to see if they could do the same thing.  Except for the slight annoyance in $25 per hour walking down the street, we realize the project is an educational tool for the entire community, and we hope more people in Eldora will take a similar approach to their own property.
