Good reporting on Mr. Shoaf's part. I love the discovery of an early central heating system, and can't wait to see the finished product. This was a great video. Good reporting on Mr. Shoaf's part.

The estate had been turned into a cemetery reaching almost up to the front porch. The prospect of returning to the house and living in the middle of a cemetery was incomprehensible to the Lees.
