We got high speed internet service in Rayville when we bought our new home and moved there recently. Our new town is really small, but my husband and I were ready to move to a slower paced lifestyle. We bought a two story farmhouse that was built in 1912. I have been doing a lot of reading on the internet about historic preservation and how to update our home to keep the structure and integrity true. I have used the satellite internet to order several light fixtures that are true to the time period. They have been rewired to keep up with the current electricity regulations, but they are absolutely beautiful. The glass is all hand blown and they are made of bronze. I ordered the sconces off of Ebay and the chandelier that is in the living room, I ordered from someone that I met on one of the preservation websites. I am going to love fixing up our new home. We just can’t wait until we have some visitors.
