Well, it was bound to happen. We finally found bones! Eek. So I guess this means a slightly greater chance it may be haunted, right? Those cool floors mentioned in the last post had to come up, which actually ended up being a good thing for several reasons. They really weren’t in good shape, are not hardwood after all, and there was nothing underneath them but the dirt ground. In which the bones were found – bigger than poultry bones but smaller than,say, a cow. I know, I know, you’re thinking “uh, kinda like human size, right?” But I don’t think so. My guess is something like a sheep or goat. So, if disturbing the bones brings on a haunting, we will likely be hearing spooky hoofs and bleating all night.
I think I’ve mentioned before, how the front of the house was built first, then the back “lean-to” (the part falling down and now rebuilt), which would mean the proper kitchen and room above it were built most recently. So I think the dirt where we found the bones was probably an animal space outside at some point. And since whomever built this section just started building on top of the dirt, nobody would have unearthed them. Or, it could be that the initial building of the kitchen was a sinister plot to hide the bones! But probably not.
In other news, we are still getting all of the plumbing and electric completed for both the new and old sections of the house. There was/is a lot to do, between reconfiguring the bathrooms and laundry room for plumbing, and wiring each new room, along with rewiring every existing room for residential lighting instead of the school fluorescents. Once these things are completed, we can insulate and put up the drywall/plaster. Then there’s painting, after which we can do the floors. Then we can put cabinets/appliances/countertop in the kitchen. Then it’s pretty much done! That’s it, just a handful of items on the list. Totally simple, no big deal, easy peasy. Ha.
Oh, I forgot to mention the roof too. We weren’t really planning on tackling that yet but we realized the wood beams underneath the roof were rotting, so this is now in the process of being gently rebuilt and then the new roof will go on. A few mouse families were also evicted from up there. Gain some bees, lose some mice, that’s how we roll these days.
Anyway, I’m just on the train to work and wanted to throw a quick update out there! And now for a couple of pictures (fingers crossed)….
The area of the kitchen where the bones were found
Rotting beams on the roof
Some sunshine out front before all this rain
Special thanks to Nick for feeding the bees this morning so I could leave for work! This one’s from a beehive opening at Connors Farm next door
BONES! Wow! How very cool is that (except for the one the bones belong to I suppose) in a very creepy way. The possibilities are endless! Now you’ll have to rebury them on a full moon facing east (or is it west?) and burn some sage to give them rest. Okay, maybe I’ve seen one too many sci-fi movie but you have to admit it is very intriguing. Love the bee suit picture by the way. You look very comfortable among your fuzzy buzzy friends. I hope your roof isn’t leaking with all this non-stop drizzle. Lots off work upfront will make for a very solid home. And if you hear any weird sounds now, I think it will be the house giving a sigh of relief for all the attention you are giving it, making it a home again! 🙂
What a wonderful post! I do like the idea of reburying the bones, it just sounds like the right thing to do no matter what beast they may have come from. I don’t know about the facing a certain way and burning the sage though!
Hey Judi! Thanks 🙂 I have heard a lot about sage-burning too, and just might have to do it, now that we found the bones haha!
I’ve been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or weblog posts in this sort of house .

Thank you Meg! So crazy, right? I adore your house and blog, by the way. Really looking forward to your landscaping plans as I have big dreams of someday replacing several rhododendron bushes with hydrangeas and peonies, one of my favorites too!
You know, the locals told me there were supposedly some Porter graves out in the woods somewhere, but I never got to see them. Have you heard anything about it?
There are! I haven’t had a chance to see them myself, but they are there and have been well documented in public town archives. They are apparently located across the fields from the house, towards the back of Connors Farm, which surrounds the property. I think there are tours out there via the farm, though I believe the site is very rudimentary (understandably, there were no fancy tombstones in the 1600s!) I’ll definitely update the blog when I’ve gone out there!
There is clearly a bundle to know relating to this.

Wow, it looks like Michael Jackson has had a lot of books written about him. It makes sense though because he was a legend. I remember I was just a freshman in high school when he passed. Definitely a tragic day for a lot of people.
