Seth Kelley, of Plainsfield, Vt., looks up to ensure his hammer does not hit the underside of the floorboards of the Jericho Schoolhouse in Hartford, Vt., while placing cribbing under the building, the first step in renovating its foundation in Hartford, Vt., on July 6, 2016. After years of fundraising, donors from the Jericho district have hired Kelley and crew to begin renovating the historic schoolhouse, and Kelley wanted to ensure that the job was done using stone, instead of concrete. “I’m trying not to change history, that’s an important part,” he said.
