    For all the people who have asked me, here it is....the whole story told only in pictures.

    I took almost 2000 pictures of this restoration but I've cut it down to 200 for this thread.

    For those who prefer the long version of the restoration with lots of detail and commentary, you can go here:

    Restoration began in september 2011 and completed in april 2012
