Wilson-Covington has successfully installed footings under the front porch wall at historic Korner’s Folly. Work has also been completed to re-lay the front porch extension and archways. Foam injection was completed to preserve the mosaic tile under this front porch extension.
Wilson-Covington continues to restore and reconstruct the window frames and sash for the complete restoration of an 1805 home in North Carolina. Recently Eric Kagayutan, one of Wilson-Covington’s skilled carpenters, designed and fabricated a plane made from a wood chisel to successfully recreate the cove mold under the window sill on these one piece sills (there is no applied molding). The new sills were made from salvaged timber and installed on the original window frame with the same methods as in 1805.

Wilson-Covington has begun work on the front masonry wall of Korner’s Folly. This work includes undermining the existing wall to install a footing and then installing new brick (from Old Carolina to match existing) down to the level of this new footing. This has allowed for the entire grade in front of the following to be lowered. The engineering behind this work was performed by Mr. Martin Page, PE who is experienced in historical work and whose expertise has fit in very well with the skillset of Wilson-Covington. Shoring has been provided by Associated Scaffolding.

Please enjoy the ongoing photographic update of work on the hunting lodge in Eastern North Carolina. This is quickly becoming a showcase of fantastic wood species as well as Wilson-Covington’s unique skills. Wilson-Covington’s carpenters have completed all interior wood work, including the fabrication and installation of custom cabinets, vanities, and kitchen island. Wilson-Covington is also fortunate to employ highly skilled masons and the stone cladding on the fireplaces has been completed in-house as well.
