A Hint of 2008
 

Closing 2007:

Mount Dora Renniger's Antique Show; VoltAmp Medical Battery, Induction Coil; English Ignition Coil; Victorian Switches; Mejla; A few pictures of Mejla; And Mejla, Our Bulldog...A few more of Mejla... We would have had a few more updates in 2007 but she ate the camera.  We managed to salvage the memory stick and the battery though!
Restoring a Victorian Loo:  Updating the bathroom in our house.
A different sort of turn of the century restoration.  Many thanks, Kevin.
