Light at the end of the tunnel...
After almost two weeks in Montana I am happy to
report that all is well at the Passion Pit. As promised,
here is a renovation/restoration progress report. In
advance I apologize for the poor quality of my photos.
As always I'll share "before" to put "after" in context.
