Scope and Content

The item contains correspondence between Martha Peterson and Richard A. Ambrus regarding the lot improvements and restoration projects on the House and Wettermark lots. Noted that Mario has four projects lined up, the first being the House lot, and then the Wettermark monument. Peterson discusses issues with the excavation around the Wettermark monument because the foundation is difficult to jack up, as it is a pile of rocks. Additionally, note the need for a crane to move the monument pieces so the existing foundation can be removed and replaced with a solid concrete foundation.

Context
