Title: Jay Shedd's Crew Gives The Goodall House A Makeover
Post by: Henry on August 03, 2011, 02:55:19 PM: Jay Shedd's Crew is painting the Goodall House, located on Main Street, now owned by Elizabeth & Bridget Morgan. That is one enormous house. Years ago Jim & Evelyn Brown bought it. Jim was a toolmaker and worked for IBM and carpooled with a group of us who also worked at IBM from Fairfax. Jim was very meticulous and he did both the inside and outside. Took him a number of years to do it and he took Maryann and I through it when he was about finished. The house had real high ceilings and God knows how many rooms. I believe it also had a separate apartment in the back. Don't know what is has for heat, but hopefully one does not have to heat the whole house. I believe that the house went with the Goodall Farm that had land in back that was around the Fireman's Pond Road and the Old New Hampton Institute.

Jay and his crew appear to be doing an excellent job. They have finished the North Side and are using the elevator type equipment to get the peak done shown in the photo below:

I heard that Jay does great work and the progress being shown in this picture would certainly verify that and would also make his father proud . As I view and read your posting , I'm tempted to travel 1600 miles just to witness it ....perhaps later in the Fall , I'll visit the area to observe it first hand. 96* today with a strong possibility of thunderstorms tonight.....such is life in SW Florida at this time of the year , certainly for the next month. Stay safe .

Very nice
