Perhaps your guide should read the Canterbury Shaker website describing the Shaker belief about using such objects that embody their belief of meaningful work and that are sold in their gift shop for the express purpose of sending the Shaker spirit back into the world. Sorry about the hard drive :( Because I use mine for our business and have hundreds of photos on it, I've invested in a external hard drive which hopefully been successful in backing everything up!

My boyfriend tells me I was being too harsh. Our tour guide said in such words...Don't remember the shakers for their objects but remember them for their beliefs. I took this as...'yuppy people don't ask me about the damn chairs.' Maybe I should restate. My boyfriend tells me I was being too harsh.

I'll share more once I get estimates and learn more about by specific situation. Hi Virginia–

I've had a mason come out and look at them and I really didn't like the options they gave me. I don't like to use nonreversable methods, such as pouring an internal liner, to fix anything in the house. Have you had any thoughts on what you might do with yours? Seems a shame not to use them.

You can walk around in an out of all of the structures, there is beautiful furniture and other handmade goods on display, along with lots of farm animals. Tours are self guided, but some of the buildings have guides to answer questions. I'm pretty sure that you can take pictures inside the structures (at least I did!). I visited this summer on a trip to the Berkshires and loved it. I really recommend Hancock Shaker Village in Lenox, MA.
