SUMMARY
William Buckland was a builder and architect best known for his work on George Mason‘s Gunston Hall, in Fairfax County. Born in England, Buckland trained as a joiner and carpenter before coming to Virginia as the indentured servant of Thomson Mason in 1755. He worked on the interior detailing of Gunston Hall for the next four years. Buckland moved to Richmond County in 1761, where he purchased a farm and likely continued to work as a builder, although the specifics of his work have largely been lost. Mentions of Buckland in the Carter and Tayloe papers suggest he may have contributed design and construction to Sabine Hall, home of Landon Carter, and Mount Airy, home of John Tayloe II. In 1771, Buckland moved to Annapolis, Maryland, and there designed the Hammond-Harwood House and the courthouse in Caroline County. He died in 1774.

A destructive weed which grows at a rate of ten centimetres A DAY could land homeowners in jail - if they fail to take professional help to stop it spreading.
The Alabama Legislature won t let anyone steal their sunshine.
The Alabama House of Representatives voted 93-1 Thursday for legislation sponsored by Sen. Steve Livingston, R-Scottsboro, that would put the state on permanent daylight saving time, if authorized by Congress.
Rep. Mary Moore, D-Birmingham, cast the only no vote. The bill goes to Gov. Kay Ivey. The Alabama Senate approved the bill 29-0 on April 20.
The measure attracted little criticism in the House, but was subject to an hourlong debate due to disagreements over a proposed gambling bill and more controversial bills on the House agenda.
Daylight saving time is mandated by federal law, and only a change in federal law would allow states to move to year-round DST. A measure to allow states to make the shift was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in January. It had not moved as of Friday morning.
